ship canal lerOss the Isthmus Of Panama, is
now at the Windsor Hotel Lieut.. Wyse has
made his final survey, and, In addition to
the very yOuminOus report prepared and
presented by him to his government In 1877
he has now in course of preparation his sup
Elementary and final report Of the expedition
The two routes under discussion have been
already described with the substance Of Lieut..
Wyse's observations and survey. The north
ern route, beginning at Achnn and running
thence in D southwesterly direction to the
island Of Alligators, in the river which emp
ties into the harbor Of DarieD, is said by Lieut..
Wyse to be the most feasible. This line along
the valley Of the river Tupisa presents fewer
engineering difficulties than the southern
route. which is more tortuous and elevated.
This lower line, on account Of the many noun
tain spurs which branch In g. southwesteriy
direction from Mount Turgandi and intersect
the country, presents more distractions than
the valley Of the Tapisa, and involves q sys-
tenn of locks and tunneling.. The proposed
northern line Is only seventy Kilometres
about forty miles-in LENGTH whereas the
southern Is nearly double the distance. There
is nothing definite decided by the French gov
ernment but the forthcoming report of Lieut.
Wyse will lead to O final decision SO far rs
they are concerned, but q great deal depends
on the action Of this country.

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 5s-The following Off

supply our reservation Indians with arms
aud ammunition and purchase the property
they steal from Texas:

I have the honor to state that / have been
informed by citizen names, H.e Lee Gag,ll2Ird
City, that about q month since he was In
Presdio del Norte, Mexico, and that he found
the town filled with Mesealero Apnches from
Fort Stanton. He estimated the Indians to
number about one hundred, including the
horses and mules they bud with them. On
some OF the mules he recognized the
old Ficklin cross brand, and knew that
they had been stolen from the Ell Paso stage
line. He states that he shw the Indians In
the stores Of Del Norte, buying ammunition
for breech-loadiug arms and other supplies;
that he was told by number of Mexicans
and others that the Indians came from the
Fort Stanton. reservation, and It seemed TO
be O. matter Of notoriety. While in converse
with one Of the Apaches on his first arrival
in town and before he knew their character,
he stated he was from Texas, and made some
sighting remark about the Meseaiero
Apaches at Fort Stanton, whereupon he was

cussed at some length, and mass OF infor-

which seems to fully sustain the extreme tone
OF the instructions which the department COM

for approval. The explanation explicitly
states that Mexican commanders are organ

venting the military forces Of the United
States from pursuing and Furnishing any band
OF raiders or cattle thieves that may have
recrossed into Mexican territory. It Ia ex-

q brave young officer, Col. Passebose. and the
tnasshcre Of tWenty4fo eolonists, among the
latter, men, women and children, was made
known to the French government through
English dispatches.
The press complains II IL not the first time
this delinquency In forwarding kilograms
has occurred. Roehefort, the editor 81 the

conviGts in New Caledonia he with some Of
his companions 6ontrived to escape. The
English government was tbs first 10 signal
their flight to the French.
RoGhsfort went to Belgium. His journal
was prescribed, partly because of his political
principles, partly because it's editor was rash
enough to attack the person Of the Empress
with his audacious pen, He laughingly as
serted that, although banishsd by the En-
peror and Empress, he would make them
carry the ''Lante1ne' into France. He pro-
cured b1sts OF the sovereigns, packed them
With his yenomous aLdytteTnes," closed and
dispatched them, Without arousing suspicion,
into French territory. He had accomplished
what he said. The Emperor and Empress
did, indeed carry the 'LdptegY,e" to France,
and worst Of all, the French devoured with
avidity the condemned newspapers,
