EVANS, accompanied by Mrs.
Evans, Hiss Evans, and the mem
bers of his staff, were passengers in the
Gaelic, which arrived yesterday morn-
Ins and departed during the afternoon.
During; bi3 stay Admiral Evans was to
all intents and purposes the guest of
CoL and Mrs. Parker, who entertained
th- party by drives t the Pall and to
Walkikl and at luncheon at the Hawai
ian hot"?!. i
Admiral Evans, since he vas last in
Honolulu, as he expresses it, "has been
close to royalty," belns the represen
tative of the navy In the ' company
chosen by President Roosevelt to rep
resent the nation in the entertainment
of Prince Henry of Germany, on the
occasion c.f his recent visit. Admiral
Evans says he was never better than
be is now, dr-spite the inroads which the
continuous dining: and wining were ex
pected to make upon his health. He
says of the experience: "We had a most
thoroughly enjoyable time during our
trip. a;d we inadt such a swing
around the country as to give the guest
of the nation a good chance to see Just
how large the country is and how the
people look upon such an event as his
visit- I do not think any one could
have enjoyed the ex;erience more than
he did. and to those of us of the en
tertaining party it was certainly a
pleasure to witness the pure enjoyment
he took out of his experiences.
"I uill take command of the northern
squadron of the tleet now stationed in
Philippine waters upon my arrival In
Manila. Admiral Rogers Is the senior
officer and will be in command of the
squadron. Admiral Wilde is in com
mand of the southern squadron. The
Kentucky probably will be the flagship
of the squadron. I shall command the
the squadron for about a year, and
then upon the retirement of Admiral
Rogers, will succeed to his command.
I expect to spend only two years in the
Orient, and then shall return home, at
the close of my active sea service."
Admiral Evans and his party were
the guests at a red luncheon at the
Hawaiian hotel today, the hosts being
Col. and Mrs. Parker. The table, which
was laid in the small dining room, was
for sixteen, though only fifteen guests
eppeareo. ine party had enjoyed a
drive to the Pali first and sat down to
the luncheon about 1:30 o'clock. The
decorations were in red carnations and
maile. There were two stars, laid In
either the plant for such a Job or the
steamers to lay a cable of this length
and character, and we did not care to
try any experiment with what might
bt. termed "green hands," on the big
gest and most difficult cable expedition
that has ever been undertaken. The
Ordinary layman does not realize that It
requires years of experience and a great
c'eal of engineering skill to properly lay
a cable In deep water.

AN FRANCISCO. April 8. The
Examiner says: Py next Thanks
giving day San Francisco will be
doinjj business with Honolulu and get
tJngs news from the Hawaiian Islands
by wire. Instead of waiting for the
steamers to come out of the sea.
Yesterday George Gray Ward, vice
president of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, and vice-president and general
manager of the Commercial Cable Com
pany and Commercial Pacific Cable
Company, came to San Francisco from
Monterey, and his mission is to select
a landing place for the California end
of the Hawaiian cable. With him came

ave been looking over Monterey
the suggested place for the cable
landing, but Mr. Ward favors a point
on the shore near San Francisco, and
ine cnart soundings Incline him to a
fpot near the old Pacific Ocean House
Mr. Ward Is an interesting person
ality. He always has been an electri
cian. Born at Great Hadham, Hert
fordshire, England, on December SO,
1S41. he won a prize in his Cambridge
school at the age of ten because of his
electrical knowledge. When he left
school he went into the employ of th.?
Llectric Telegraph Company. Then, in
1SC. he went to Egypt In the Govern
rr.er.t teJograph service, stuck to his
rost during the cholera epidemic and
received the public thanks of the Vice
roy Ishmael Pasha.
Thn, In 1S69, Mr. Ward became ac-
quamiea wun ocean cables. He was
sent out on the Great Eastern with the
first French Atlantic cable, and took up
a p.jst at St. Pierre. Mlquelon. After-
v.ard. as superintendent of the United
States Direct Cable Company, he re
ouced cable time and cable ate, and
In 1VM he accepted the position of sec
retary and general manager of the
Commercial Cable Company, in which
corporation he has been a large factor
ever since. Heyond that he has been
i member of the New York Chamber of
Commerce and honorary secretary and
treasurer of the Institution of Electri
cal Engineers of the United States.
During the recent struggle in Con
gress over the granting of rights desir
ed by John W. Mackay for his Pacific
cable. Mr. Ward was twitted with be
lnr an Englishman. He replied:
"I think I'm a fairly good Ameri?an.
Tl vjc:h I may have myself neglected
t tak out my papers of citizenship,
my eldest son was the very flrst volun-t-r
to enlist in our army for the
Prnfsh war. and my daughter is mar
r:ed to a lieutenant of the United
who fought in the Phil-
States Navy
Ipplnes."
Yesterday Mr. Ward authorized the
following Interview as to the aims and
iurpose3 of Mr. Mackay's company re
garding the Pacific ocean cable, and in
cidentally took up the discussion of
several debated points in the recent
struggle in Congress.
SEEKING A LANDING PLACE.
I understand you are in San Fran
cisco to decide upon a location for the
much desired Pacific cable," began the
questioner.
"Yes, I have come to California to
select a landing place for the cablf,"
replied Mr. Ward. "The first section
will be laid from some point on the
Coast to Honolulu. The spot to be
si lected will be either San Francisco or
Monterey. The Navy Department rec
ommends the latter, but we prefer San
Francisco, this being the metropolis of
the coast.
"The cable ought to start from here,
and unless we find difficulties that can
not be overcome, it will be brought
ashore as near the city as possible. I
have Just looked over Monterey bay.
and am now about to take In the sur
roundings of San Francisco. You see
It Is not only that the cable must lie
on a good bottom and be free from
anchorage, but we have to study the
renditions of a city like San Francisco
In regard to the electric trolley lines
because the strong currents employed
to operate them cause disturbances on
ocean cables."
"When will the cable be laid?"
"I have received a cablegram since
my arrival on the coast, saying the
manufacture is going ahead satisfac
toriiy. at the rate of 600 miles per
month, and barring accidents it will b
finished and shipped on board the cable
steamer Silvertown by the end of July
and laid by the first of November, ac
cording to contract."
"Who is manufacturing the cable?'
"The India Rubber. Gutta Percha and
Telegraph Works Co., of Silvertown
England. They are well known cable
builders and layers of thirty-five years
standing and have a fleet of steamers
especially constructed for the work."
"Can you state why the cable was
not built In this country?"
"Simply because no cable manufac
turer In America has had any experi
ence of dep sea work. Short lengths
of perhaps 200 miles have ben male
h-re and laid In shallow water, but that
1 a very different proposition from sooo
miles, ard put down in the deepest wa
ter In whih cables have ever ben sub
merged. The average depth between
Sn Fmnciso and Honolulu about
3'ftO fathoms (3 miles), and the United
States steamer Nero made , the deepest
soundings in the world nar Guam
about five miles. I believe. None of the
cab!e builders In this country have
"Mr. J. W. Mackay is the prime
mover in this enterprise, is he not?"
"Yes. "Jr. Mackay has taken upon
himself the responsibility of carrying
out this work. A more patriotic Amer
ican doe3 not live. He always desired
to see a Pacific cable laid; he felt the
country needed it. He got tired of the
fighting in Congress for several years
over different bills, and decided, after
Congress adjourned last session, to
take up the scheme without any aid
from the government. The public
owes a great, deal to Mr. Mackay. He
has saved the community millions of
dollars by bringing the rates down 50
per cent on the Atlantic, as well as
considerably reducing the rates on the
land lines. The service, too, has been
greatly improved since we started, on
both land and sea, Business is done
