Wait...what?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable#Submarine_cables_across_the_Pacific

"The first trans-pacific cables were completed in 1902-03, linking the 
US mainland to Hawaii in 1902 and Guam to the Philippines in 1903.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji were also linked in 1902.

Thanks! I slouch (really comfy chair) corrected. But the War Dept. didn't have
the cable sent by cable.

And I really am grateful for the information.
