The companies enjoying the public franchises and patronage must be brought to provide enough cars to accommodate their patrons at all points without imped ing upon them the difficulties and dangers that are now so frequently experienced. ge gg ae aes Patriotism and Duty. A pathetic Police Court incident yester- day threw light upon one phase of the war uation that cannot be condemned too vigorously.

The latter expedient drew heavily from the fighting power of the fleet, and exposed the latter to additional peril, through the inter- ception of the messengers by the enemy.

But, unfor- tunately, it Is an easy task for a ship at sta, especially In the region of the landing i, to pick up a cable by means of grap- pling hooks, and to cut from it a sufficient The operation of cutting the cable requir a relatively short time, while that of splic- ing is long and difficult, exposing the craft employed in the work to dangers from the sea as well as from the enemy. A cable usually cut, too, when the enemy is in full possession of the waters surrounding the port at which the line terminates, so that it is next to impossible to repair the by means of an aggressive action that drives the enemy out of the and gives time to splice the line. able cutting now going around on the southern coast of Cuba is gradually putting both Blanco and Cervera out of communi- cation with the rest of the world, and when the work is finished the American forces will have a great advantage over their foes, who will then be unable to note to the home government the course of the war, to com- municate with each other, or to cali for Telief.
