During Hie twenty-four hours' interruption ?the cable company was un able to carry any business over this line. There is little doubt the Interrogation was lue to the work of the cable-cutting ship -?tit out by ?Uen??ral Greelcy. But the ry <?f the affair Is that the French able began working again 09 Bundsy. low this came about is beyond explanat ion by the best ? ?able ? ?xperts.
