mixed up The various companies and commodores
that laid claim to the transit route operated for and
against the flibusters 10 White there and be-
identified with them for these reasons Scncr Max
imo Jerez who had been coPresden Of Nicaragua with
Martinez had been got rid of by his colleague and
sent to Washington Special Minister Penpoten-
tiayonc half Of the double headed mission represented
by himself and Senior Yrsarri. Well Jerez, for the
purpose probably of thwar!ng Yrsarris plans,
entered into contract with Van Dyke and
others Of Philadelphia, giving them the monopoly
Of the transit route and all the boats, bridges
and works constructed and existence the Ishmus
This altogether the Joe White and Stebons
papy, who had the contract from Yrisarr which Jerez
alleged had apsed through the performance Of the
conditions Yrsarri was Interested in and supported the
pretensions or the White and Stebbns party, while
Jerez supported those Of the Van Dyke concern.
Jerez represented that he had full powers to make
the grant, and that il did not need further rat6ca-
on and to gain for it the support and sanction Of tbo
American government he sent his secretary, Perez, To
Nicaragua, by the steamer which left here the 9th of
the Nicaragua Assembly together and have this contract
approved and the Cass Yrsar treaty ratified before the
ADJOURNMENT Of the next session OF Congress b. that
alone could the safety and integrity and interests
Of Nicaragua be guaranteed.
Notwithstanding this Van Dyke grant, the White
stcbbns company prepared to open the line under their
grant, and advertised the steamer Washington to sail
from New York for San Juan del Norc the 9TH of
November and she sailed that day with four hun
dred passengers and advertised to sail again the Sh
