HOLDS UP CONSTRUCTION
OF CABLE LINES
Washington, Aug. 4.?President
Wilson is understood to have issued
orders to both the army and navy departments
not to permit the Western
Union Telegraph Company to land on
American soil, at Miami, Fla., a cable
line from the Barbadoes, until permission
has been obtained from the
state department. Construction of
the cable from the Barbadoes end is
said to have been started.
The proposed cable line, it was said
here, would establish direct communication
between the United States and
South America, eliminating the existing
relay at the Barbadoes station
in British territory. Complaints of
unnecessary delay in messages passing
through Barbadoes are reported
to have been made by'American firms
dealing with South America.
Application for permission to lay
the cables has been made to the state
department by the Western Union
company but so far as could be learned
today it has not yet been acted upon.
Officials of the department de
clmed to discuss the matter.
