REACHES IMPORTANT STAGE.
Difficulty Between Commercial Ca
BILE Company and Newfoundland.

The long-standing difficulties between
the Commercial Cable Company and the
Newfoundland government are said to be
now assuming international Importance.
The Commercial company, 1T is explained,
sought to fight out it's battle against tho
reputation of it's contract with the New
foundland government, which was made
when Sir Robert Bon was premier last
February but which is now under a new
administration, headed by Sir Robert p.
Morris as premier. The Anglo-American
Telegraph Company, which now lands in
Newfoundland, has joined forces with the
premier, 1t is stated. which makes two
opponents for the Commercial company.
The issue, 1t is pointed out. is whether
the Newfoundland government has the
right to repudiate a legal agreement on
the faith of which the Commercial COM
pany has expended more than 81, 600. 900.
1t is stated that the Anglo-American
company is trying to inject another issue
into the conference.-the ether il shall
hereafter have a monopoly of the New
foundland business, as it had for fifty
years.
The Commercial company operates FIVE
cables from the United States to Europe
and laid the new cable from Newfound-
land. 1t protested to Sir Edward p.
Morris, who replied that there was no
breach of faith on the part of the New
foundland administration. and that the
government does not recognize the con-
tract made with it's predecessors and
that ii is not in any way offering obsta-
cles to the successful operation or the
laying of the Commercial ccmpany's
cable"

PREPARING At COLLEGE PARK
THE FIELD READY
FOR AEROPLANE LESSONS.
Four Times as Much Available Space
as at Fort Myer-New Variety
of Machines May Be Tested.

Work has actually begun in clearing
the field at College Park. Md. where the
officers OF the Signal Corps will handle
the Wright aeroplane. The men of the
quartermaster generals department were
at work there yesterday cutting the un-
derbrush, burning the dead branches and
otherwise getting the place in shape.
The field has about four times the
space that was available in the flying
ground at Fort Myer, and there is
more chance for setting the starting
rail in the middle of the field. SO that
it can be moved to face the wind and
obviate some of the long waits that were
suffered at Fort Myer. In some of the
private experiments that the Wrights
have made they have had the starting
rail on a sort of ,turntable, so that it
could be readily moved to face the wind.
Whether this arrangement will be in
stalled at College Park has not yet been

TO LEARN CAUSE OF DISASTER
NAVAL COURT TO INVESTI-
GATE LOSS OF NEZINSCoT.
Charged That Vessel Was Loaded
Beyond Her Capacity When She
'sTurned Turtle" OFF Cape Ann.

Preparations are being made at the
Navy Department for thorough inves-
tigation of the circumstances attending
the recent sinking of the naval tug
Nezinscot and the consequent loss of four
lives with a special view to fixing the
cause and responsibility for the catas-
trophe. A naval court Of inquiry will be
appointed today or tomorrow charged
with that special duty. 1t will probably
convene at the Boston navy yard, as
most of the necessary witnesses are in
that vicinity.

patience to read his letter, if any such
there be, it will appear that when, in the

BELGIUM's KING NEAR TO DEATH
Leopold Was on Verge of Recovery but
Suffers Relapse.

Brussels, Belgium, Dec. liking
Leopold, who has been seriously i'll for
fortnight, but who was believed to be
convalescent, suffered a relapse. A bull
letin says:
"The rheumatic pains have disap-
peared, but the king is suffering from
a disquieting affection of the alb
domen." Supplementary information
indicates that the affection is obstruc-
ton of the intestines. There is pres
ent also some dropsy of the legs. Ply
sicians did not disguise from the king
the gravity of the situation, although
they do not regard it as desperate.
The king, who is in possession of all
his faculties, conferred with Baron
Gofinet, his private secretary, to whom
he gave few final instructions. The
baron, Prince Albert Leopold, heir pre-
sumptive, and Prince Albert and M
Schollaert, the premier, did not leave
the bedside of his majesty today and
Princess Clementine, his third daughter
is expected soon.
