THE PANAMA CANAL.
Captain Belknop, commanding the
| United States steamer Alaika, has written
to Admiral Balch, giving the conclusion he
has raised in regard to the Panama canal, in
| a recent tour of inspection, and of
interviews with well.informed Residents
of the Isthmus, among whom is mentioned
| the late Joseph Boyd editor and proprietor
| of the Panama Star and Herald. Boyd eX-
pressed the opinion that there had been

cials had been inclined to conceal
from the public order--to extend the OPP
erations OF the company and the value of

measure to the constant and

| of the Star and Herald they had finally
changed their tactics, and were now less
reticent in their dealing with the public and
the press. He further said that 100000
had been paid for the grand hotel, and that
