President few days ago, saws that
none OF the surveys either Of the Pana-

that OF expense. Panama is n member
Of the confederation which Senor Aros-
cinema represents and he is an advocate
OF the Panama route. he says that the
Government aud people OF that State
take deep interest in the discussion now
going on, but they are debarred from
taking any active steps in the matter
by reason Of the concessions already
made TO Lieutenant Wyse, which form
the basis of DE Lessep's plan OF action.
