CosrA RICA.-A correspondent of the Pana-
ma Star, writing under d&te of September 3Oth,
says:
The company of Morgan, Harris & Webster
have not complied with the stipulations or their
contract, which might have beeu easily torsecn.
The half of million Of dollars, the first Install
ment OF the loan which had to be paid on the
22d of September, has lot been forthcoming as
vet, and in consequence the Government has
been placed in o position to dissolve the con-
tract which threatened the country with SO ma
ny dangers.
Under these circumstances the government
has determined although rather late, to adhere
to the policy of the Cabinet at Washington
making the transit free, under the protection Of
the great maritime powers and, by this mail
Don Napolean EScalante leaves here, charged
with special mission TO the Uuited States upon
this subject, 1t is also said that he is empower
ed to sell the steamers taken by the troops un-
der Spencer Oh the river Sau Juan, so as to meet
with the money obtained for them the deficiency
In the treasury.
,NICARa GUA.-A mail boat came dowr the river
on the evening of the I'd. bringing more rumors
and surmises than positive facts. The recent
election il Nicaragua is supposed to be favora-
BILE TO Martinez, but the result will not be known
until after the meeting of the Assembly Oh the
sth. Xrras aud his party, it is thought, will
unite on Martinez, il his election is secured. A
rumor says that'fve hundred Costa Ricaas are
at Castillo and that Guatemala, San Salvador
and Honduras are sending large force to- or
near San Carlos. to prevent its falling into the
hands of Costa Rica.
From the aspect of things collision is antici-
pated between Nicaragua and Costa R;ca, be-
fore a great while in which Guatemala and
Honduras will participate. taking the part of
NicaEag qua. their friendly feelings for Costa Rica
being destroyed by the course Of the latter in

ramors-no doubt having some foundation of
