CABLE SHIP IN WAR-TIME. 'The Heola is to he refitted as a cable ■hip, and to be supplied with tanks which would hold two thousand miles of cable. As a torpedo depdt ship she has done useful service; but she was built as a passenger and cargo steamer, and she is consequently very unsnited for the purposes of war. Besides, she is far too slow to be able to keep up with the modern torpedo boat flotilla. In her new role, she will accompany a fleet to sea in war-time, paying out cable as she goes, and so enabling the Commander-in-chief to be in continuous communication with the Admiralty. Commenting upon the working . of a ship under such circumstances, a well-informed exchange remarks:—“ This 1 arrangement will greatly hamper the Com-mander-in-chief, but it will be good for the special correspondents, and it will please the British public, so long as it lasts. A commander-in-chief of the Nelsonian type will probably, at the earliest possible moment, take care that communication shall be interrupted. Nelson would not have won Trafalgar had he been tied by a string to Whitehall.” TELEGRAPH NOTICE BOARD. Arrivals. —July 28: Wellington, 1 p.m..
