THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
From the Panama Star, May 28.l
The reports recently received respecting the
progress of the Nicaragua canal are not OF a
promising character. The form of LAYING the
formation stone had been gone through, not
withstanding the preparations which wer"
previously made Tor celebrating the occasion
in magnificent style, it turned out to be a
most insignificant affair. Neither the Presi-
dent of Costa Rica nor Nicaragua were present
although commissioners were sent expressly
from England to invite them indeed no one
was there except n few employees Of M. Belly
So tar as We can ascertain, certainly no one nj
any distinction.
Considerable sickness has broken out among
the Engineer corps, and one of the party had
died of yellow fever.
The survey Of the river and lake was being
, proceeded with. but in a very superficial and
hasty manner, with the object, probably Of
getting report into the market as soon as
possible. The general opinion appears to be,
even Of the most sanguine believers in the
canal that the scheme is very likely to meet
with premature death. and although we
t-never had the slightest faith in the underta-
king, our opinion of its being humbug Is
e daily strengthened by the reports which reacl
5 us.
