The Narva then re- turned to Havana, where she arrived on (he 8th, and during the same day landed the cable at the hamlet of Chorrera, At five A M. on the 6th she commenced pay- ing out thecable, and having steered too far to the east all of the Gulf line was exhausted, and nineteen miles of the Punta Ragsa (not Rosa) cable was used to com- plete the connostion. Precisoly twenty-four hours after leaving Chorrora the Narva arrived at the buoy off Key West, when preparations were at once made to splice the ends, The Narva accordingly moved slowly for the purpose of drawing in the ‘‘slack,"’ when the cable parted about half a mile distant from the stern of the | Mt. steamer. Several days wore spent in attempts at grap- pling for the lost end, but without success, and the work was temporarily suspended in consequence of severe weather. Finally, as our special telegram announced, on the 16th instant the end was found and the splice effected. We are, therefore, now in direct communica- tion with Cubs.
