TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stet,—As you gave insertion in the body of your
paper to the letter of Mr. Montoya, the Vice-Consul
publicity to
of New Granada, to which the enclosed is a reply
from the Consul-General of Costa Rica, I rely on

and being about 15 miles in length. It would join the South

chief owners of land on the line have consented to give the
requisite ground gratuitously. Engineers are again employed
in preparing plans and sections for the Forest of Dean Central
Railway. The fourth project is the line from Aberystwyth
to Shrewsbury, which has met with much attention.

says, no doubt, the next event in course will be a little
stranger.
