Thus all warnings from the Philippines have become a thing of the past.
Under these circumstance it is a great pity that the station at Bolinao was abolished. Manila was only connected with that station by land lines, and there fore the Americans could, by cutting them themselves or getting the rebels to do so, have rendered the telegraphic isolation of Manila quite as thorough as it is at the present time. Then too, the telegraph staff at Bolinao would have been enabled to send their observations as before, and our position as regards storm warnings would have been just as good as it was with the Bolinao station abolished and only Manila to depend upon. We should still have bad one station left. Could not the Telegraph Company and Admiral DawAY come to some arrangement whereby meteorological observailons could be for warded while all other messages were ex- cluded?
