We were also influenced BY a desirethat those
islands should not pass under the control OF
any other great maritime State, but should re-
main in an Independent condition, and 50 be

nations need not say that the importance
Of these considerations has been greatly en-
HANGED BY the sudden and vast development
which the interests Of the United States have

again be seriously disturbed; for since the
peace between that repnblic and !. the United
States, it had enjoyed such comparative repose
that the most favorable anticipations for the

been thwarted by the recent on,break in the
State of Tamanlinas- on the r;oht hank Of The

gress that citizens OF the United States had un-
dertaken the connection OF the two oceans by
means OF railroad across the isthmus OF 1e-
hnantepec, under grant OF the Mexican gov
ernmenf to citizen OF that republic; and that
this enterprise would probably be prosecuted
with energy whenever Mexico should consent
to such stipulations with the Government of the
