is now shut otf, owing to a break which
occured yesterday forenoon between

in the midst of a message, and for a
time it was thought the trouble wa6
only with the instruments, but investi.
gation disclosed the fact that there was
a break 340 miles south of here. The
Burnside left for the scene yesterday
nfternoou at 2 o'clock, and will reach
the n&igbborhood of the break in the
morning. If the weather is dledr the
cable cdn be picked np and repaired

done until it is clear fenough to take
an observation and locate the cable.
The break is at a place where the,cable
is a mile nfid&r the .surface of the
water. __■
