Panama, 26-The Star says q party of
engineers aud capitalists from the United
States, who have been inspecting the
canal works and prospects, have re-
turned with 8 highly favorable opinion.
Among the psrty were John j, Stevens,
Franklin B. Cotton, ard j. b. Dennis.
Their mission was in the interest of some
of the most prominent capitalists in the
United States, whose attention has been
called to the possibility Of finding en-
ployment for large cspitsl in the
vast work there offered. 1t is
believed that in most rcspec's
they found the condition Of the
work and problems presented generally
more favorable than was anticipated.
The Star thinks it not unlikely their re-
port will create q boom in Panama Canal
work. A residence is being prepar ed
here for young DeLesseps, who is ex-
pecteG soon, with some of the lead1n G
canal men.
Seven Americans are in Panama Jail
on suspicion Of being concerned In the
$50 600 robbery. They have demanded
trial and appealed to the American con-
sui in vain, ard are treated as convicted
felons, some are believed innocent.
The Pacific Stsam Navigation Com
pany has reduced the mum Der of steam
ers for South American ports to three ar
rivals and departures monthly, sailing
on the 10Th, 10th and 30th.
Minister Partridge was TO have left
Lima for conference with Monte'o, at
Arequips, u announces that he will
now await the receipt OF g letter from
Minister Logan. The former is highly
incensed at the letter Logan sent Mon
tero. Partridge considers it unwsrrant-
able meddIing with his function. The
best part of the whole affair is that

Official accounts from the state of
Chidpas, Mexico, furnish frightful de-
tails of the rsvages of cholera. The
number OF victims is immense. Misery
and want reign supreme. A letter dated
December, says whole families have died
in q single night. On some plantations
there are only three or four people left
alive. Many bodies have been devoured
by dogs because when stricken they we're
abandoned. The town of Tuxtla had
8 1000 inhabitants, 600 of whom are dead.
or 5000 in ronals upwards of l 900 are
dead, from twenty to thirty persons
dying daily.
