The Secret OF a Transit Route Contract In
New York.
from the Gaceta, Of Salvador, Jan OIL
In the Croca Of Costa Rca Its OF tho I'd inst
we have With less surprise than pain rude at
tack upon Don Antonio Yrsarr Minister for duatemsla,
Ncaragus and Salvador the United States He said
have been the confidential deposary Of govern
ments without caring for any other interests than his
and that his object in the negotiations relative to the 18th
Transit route has been " obtain thousands Of
golden eagles
Senior Yrsarri has borne important part In every
section OF Spanish America and his reputation for ntegr
ty we'll known are his talents and abilities. In
gard TO the charge made him reference 70 the
negotiation OF the Transit contract will be sufficient to
state the following fact proof Of which will be found IN
the books OF the company with which he has made the
agreement aud to the truth of which the governments Of
Nicaragua, Guase mala and Salvador can testify
The advantageous Transit route contract having been
ratified by Nicaragua and the company the latter
taneously made Senior Yrsarri gilt of five thou
sand dSllars in money and eighty thousand dollars
in stock As soon as he was notified OF this, Senior Yr
sarri went the Office of the company and made thew
draw up the acknowledgement Of his acceptance with the
condition Of cedng the eighty five thousand dollars TO the
OF Nicaragua expressly stating at his request
that neither the donor nor his heirs should dispose OF that
amount seems, therefore, that If Senior Yrisarri has

which have entrusted him with their confidence, as is
stated and il he has interviewed she negotiation the

An Explar alton to Mr.. Allen, Commodore
VanderbilI's agent, Ia reply Ia his commune
cation to the Crcnica.
From FL Album Semanal, San Jose, Jan 80.
When in the article published in our number of the
22d inst, alluded to the want Of uniformity Of action
between Messrs Allen and Vanderbilt our object was not
to give rise TO opinion in the public but
the contrary 10 prevent new error from taking hold
of IT, We had the following Mr.. Webster, before
leaving for Nicaragua presented to this government the
authority he brought from Commodore Vanderbilt for
purchasing the lake the river steamers Not having
making any contract With the republic OF
Nicaragua Mr. Allen came back to this State leaving Mr.
Webster bt mind He Immediately presented himself before
the govern ment with the object Of contract for
steamers producing authorization letter Of Mr. Wander
bits in which the latter stated that he his in Law
and accompanying Mr. Webster with the object
upon by Mr. Alien in the of his ia hern law, with
out any other authorization but letter Of introduction
Mr. Vanderbilt had open field for reectng the stpua
tons a. he did on former OCCASION IN spite OF the full
powers given to Mr. Webster prodng by the fact that the
latter had been careful not to mention his constituent in
the contract We believe we have said enough 70 dssi-
pate the scrup'es Of Mr.. Allen.
A Nicaragusn View Of Costa Rics's Policy.

senores Moras have endeayored TO make people believe
that they were moved by sentiment of kindness and
generosity towards Nicaragua when they came with the
forces OF Costa Rca and made Walker, account
Of which they lay claim to gratitude and consdera

out CT hostes between Costa Rca and Nicaragua, which
would not have failed to bring caamities upon Central
America but We, on our part although acknowledging
these good intentions, deem ourselves bound by con
science to comba; such ideas.
Three principal motives engaged Senores Moras to

TIE Allen and Webster Propositions In Coata
hlcH.
From Fl Album Scmana, san jose, Jan. SOL
We learn that merchant OF this city 10 have pur
the river san juan for the purpose Of selling them 10
Vanderbilt or any other person or company which might
establish the Transit route. 10 fact the said merchant
had drawn up the contract but II seems that, in the
opinion Of people he did give sufficient guarantee
10 guard the government from whatever responsibility
might result from the sale OF the steamers, and General
Canas exercised his influence TO have his propositions
Jeced Mcesrs. Allen and Webster again attempted TO
obtain contract, depositing as pledge of their
gagemcns ten thousand dollars, which sbould be for
ieited in case the stpulatoDs, other occasions,
should not he fulfilled. The government. which, on
The other band, considered the selling Of the
right OF the Transit inserted the condition that the
thousand dollars should be returned and the agreement
main without effect, II any company which might have
elsewhere contracted for the Transit the fsthmus
Of Nicaragua would take the steamers same cond
TORS. This agreed to on the part Of Mr. Allen,
who the morning Of 9th inst left for United states
Mr.. Webster remaining here II s asserted that the sud
den departure OF Mr. Allen had been brought by the
conviction that the company which has contracted with
Nicaragua will rot be able TO establish the Transit line
within the time fixed upon, and that then Vanderbilt will
be enabled TO conclude treaty with Minister
Yrsarri.
