A BLOCK IN THE CABLE SERVICE.
Only one European press message had reached the colony early this afternoon since about mid-day yesterday. The explanation is to be found in a notification from the Telegraph Department that delay might be expected on all traffic west of Madras owing to heavy floods, all the lines being interrupted except one between Bombay and Madras. These lines are on the main artery of cable traffic — which passes down the Red Sea to Aden, thence to Bombay, aoross India to Madras, then across the Bay of Bengal, and on to Australia and New Zealand.
