Abstract
ON Saturday, October 31, the telegraphic communication was interrupted almost from morning until late at night. The first sign of the perturbation was observed at 9h. 30m. in the morning (W.E.T.) in the form of continuous currents along nearly all the lines that start from Madrid. At first it was thought that some leakage from a cable in the vicinity of the Central Office was the cause of the phenomenon, but on making inquiries it was ascertained that the same occurrence was observed in Cordoba, in the line to Málaga. At the same time the cable from Vigo to Emden was rendered useless, and at Lisbon the phenomenon was observed at some moments in which the situation was normal at Madrid. The maximum intensity took place between 12h. 30m. and 15h.; at 21h. the phenomenon had nearly ceased.
