	History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - Cable-Cutting At Cienfuegos
		Could the insurgents have destroyed the overland telegraph lines, as it was reported that they had done, then the cutting of the ocean cables at Cienfuegos or at any one point to the eastward of that city would have shut off Havana from all telegraphic communication with the outside world.
		Cienfuegos is situated about six miles from the sea, and the bay or harbor is entered by a channel three miles in length.
		This estimate is probably fairly correct, as the Spaniards, believing that we were trying to effect a landing to capture Cienfuegos, had marched a regiment to the coast, and had fifteen hundred men in the engagement.
