It is the author's book and was written at his own pleasure. My connection with it had to do only with reading over, at Graham's request, whatever in the book had reference to statements of fact. As regards the Santiago fight no one was better prepared to write the history of that battle than Mr. Graham. He was there in the thick of it. So far as reading the book was concerned, I passed only on its statements of fact. These statements are true. They make up the story of the fight as it occurred. "As to Mr. Graham's object in writ- ' ing the hook, as to ids championship of ice and as to his criticisms, I bad nothing to do or say." $14,000 FIRE AT ALBANY.

II TKa cannla committee on naval affairs today gave a hearing to representatives of the Pacific Commercial Cable company. George C. Ward, of New York, president of the company; William M. Cook, general counsel, were present. Mr. Hale, the chairman, explained the efforts that previously had been made to secure legislation authorizing the construction of a cable to the Hawaiian islands. He also impressed upon the company the importance of early action in the matter if anything was hoped to be accomplished. Speaking for his company, Mr. Ward said that for a great many years Mr. John W. Mackay has had a great desire to see a I'aciiic cable laid because of his being identified largely with the Pacific coast. The speaker then went over the ground covered in the hearing before the house committee. In opposing the propositon to have the government lay the cable, Mr. Ward asked if it was fair or just for the government to lay a cable in competition with private enterprises and wa6 it good business policy for the United States to spend probably $15,000,000 when it could get everything it desired from a private cable without the outlay of a dollar. Senator Perkins remarked that the construction of this cable was a matter of national pride with Mr. Mackay. | Mr. McCook declared that his company wanted no subsidy, no grant; all it did ask was that congress pass no hill at all.
