Rico cable at Santiago.

The strands cut today were the only

ones remaining, except a few coast loops,

and these will probably be severed in a

short time.

The cutting of these cables is almost

as serious for the Spaniards in coast

towns as the cutting of foreign cables, the

land wires, connecting the coast towns

being wholly at the mercy of the insur­

gents. Therefore, in the event of Ameri­

can troops landing in Cuba the absence

of the coast loops will seriously interfere

with the hasty mobilization of the Span­

ish troops.

The United States Hayti Cable com­

pany and the Commercial Cable company

have not been notified of any interruption

of the service and they were still ac­

cepting business this morning for Cuba.
