WASHINGTON, Feb. 1&-The startling
stories sent out from Washington during
the past week about the Administration
establishing coaling stations in Central
America, in the neighborhood of Aspinwall
and Panama, have very little foundation, in
fact
Ambrose Thompson is the possessor of a
grant from the Columbian Government,
extending from the Bay of Chiuqui on the
Atlantic side to the Gulf Of Dulce on the
Pacific. When this grant was obtained,
some twenty odd years ago, the purpose
Was to build railroad between the points
named. A survey was made by Commo-
dore Jeffreys and the route. which is over
eighty miles long, was found to be practi-
cable for railroad. but OH account of
many physical disadvantages the purpose
of building the railroad was abandoned.
The route is thoroughly impracticable for
q canal.
The grant lies over Two hundred miles
from the Panama route, and ports on the
other side would not be advantageous for
coaling stations for American war vessels,
except in case of actual war and even
then it is doubtful whether the benefits to
be derived from the use of those ports
would justify the costs of establishing sta
tions. AS previously stated in these dis
patches, vessels now cruising towards As
