OF De Leseeps In Europe and the pro-
gress he Is making in carrying out his
canal scheme Is now receiving the at
tention Of the people Of Panama to the
exclusion Of all else. Even the reso-
lutions are at present entirely ignored.
Direct mail from Francs, which arrived
few days ago. brought most hattering
accounts Of De Lesseps' success, and
since then:quite number Of shares have
been subscribed for here. Politically.
Gotham was never more tranquil. .inan-
cially, owing TO the good management
Of President Cervera the state is un-
usually well on. and public work and
other improvements are being projected
and carried on. In point OF health,
since the copious rains have fallen there
there is nothing to complain Of. The
government has advertised for proposals
for the construction Of telegraph lines
TO connect the different departments Of
state and from the interior OF this re-
public there is nothing special to re-
port.
At remenduous thunder storm broke
over Panama on the 30th ult. Five
buildings were struck by lightning
and more or less damaged, but FORUM
ately there was no loss Of life. The
cathedral was struck twice, windows
shattered and several valuable monu-

pieces. The storm was the most severe
which has been experienced here for
many years.

states. The presidents Of Salvador and
and Honduras went TO Guatemala

the town Of Escuintha, about thirty
miles inland on the road to the capitol
and nearly half way. A successful
completion OF this road is looked on rs
the Inauguration of a>system of rail-
roads throughout the republic, which
cannot but prove Of vast benefit.
Nicaragua is rejoicing over hor late
successful contract for the inter.oceanic
canal, and at the same time is prose-
cutting energetically the work on her
FIRST effort ut railroad building, the
short line from the port OF Corinto, on
the Pacific, to the town of Chanandego,
Costa Rica. Whilst she is loaded down
with her inter-oceanio railroad pro-
ject from Dimon, on the Atlantic to
Hunto Renas, ION the Pacific, some
international questions have come up
which are likely to occupy her states
men for some time to come. One with
Nicaragua for having entered into a
contract for canal without first having
obtained the permission Of Costa Rica
to do so. One with Columbia on the
question Of boundaries and the owner

the United States in regard to the re-
cent unceremonious visit of the United
States steamer Adams to, and the es-
