The Môle telegraph office opened to the public
Haitian
The count’s agent was at the Mole in December for the laying of the cable; on 26 July 1888 the office of the Mole was officially opened to the public. The cable of the Mole Saint Nicolas has a length of 176 miles. That from the Mole to Puerto-Plata is 188 miles. A land telegraph line under construction, 500 kilometres in length, is to run from the Mole to Port-au-Prince, to Cap-Haitien, the Gonaïves, Saint Marc, Jacmel, Aquin, the Cayes, Jérémie, and to the Dominican frontier.
Rouzier tells this under the entry MOLE SAINT NICOLAS ( le ).
