But another question arises out of this telegraph business. The Eastern Exton- tion and Great Northern Telegraph Com- panies are by their very nature Interna- tonal. They run through a large number of different countries and they are pledged to neutrality. We are informed that their Charters with different countries expressly stipulate rigid neutrality in case of war, but even if there be no express stipulation It is palpably a condition of their business. Thus the line from Manila to SOLE AGENTS IN HONGKONG, CAINA Hongkong is now practically blocked until the end of the war. That is to say, the original contract is that the Manila telegraph station is in charge of the Spanish Authorities and as long as they continued transmitting Messages all was perfectly proper. But as soon as the con-

had to look, ceased to exercise full power, the companies ceased to act. The wire to all intents and purposes has ceased to exist because the Joint Companies have no authority to set aside their original agree. ment with the Spaalsh Government in the way that would suit the Americans. Thus the companies are unable to assist the enemies of Spain in the way of using the Manlia cable without Spain's consent. The Americans, might perhaps obtala instru. ments from somewhere, pick up the brok-Henry's visit, en cable, and transmit their messages from their squadron to Hongkong direct; but in the first place we understand this cable requires a particular kind of in- strument which is not obtainable except from the Joint Companies and even were that not so, If the cable could be operated by an ordinary electrician with ordinary Instruments, It would still be kapouible for the United States Squadron to send messages through with out actual assistance from the Companies at the various re-transmitting stations, So it seems certain that as long as there Is war, the Companies will have to decline and the Americans will be unable to make
any use of the wire at all without Spanish
concurrence.
If this be so, If the International Interests of the companies preclude the use of the cable by a belligerent, even without refer- eace to the question of the opposing belligerent having also an interest In
