How to avoid the long and tedious
voyage around Cape Horn, has long en-
gagged the attention of the world. De
Lesseps, the great French engineer,
who constructed the Suez canal, backed
BY French capital, has begun ship ca
nal across the isthmus and now it is
proposed that the United States shall
build canal also, crossing the Nicara-
guam peninsula from the port of San
Juan de Nicaragua, or Greytown, on
the Atlantic coast, to the harbor of Bri-
to, on the Pacific. A treaty for this
purpose has been drawn up between
the Republic of Nicaragua and the Uni
ted States and now awaits ratification.
The treaty requires the United States
to begin work on the canal within two
days s>ter the treaty is ratified by each
party to it, and to complete it within
Ten years after beginning it. The esti-
mate cost of the canal ranges from $40,-
100000 to 500, ooo, 900, and our Gov
ernm ent is to loan Nicaragua 81 ,OOO, 900,
which that republic proposes to expend
IN constructing railways, telegraph l,oes
and improving some of the auxiliary
water courses, which will be for the bene-
fit Of the ship canal. Nicaragua is to
give the United States the right of way
through its territory, the use of auxiliary
water courses, and is to cede strip of
land three miles wide on each side of
the canal for the whole distance. In
return for these concessions, the United
States, while it is to have complete
control of the canal, and virtual owner
ship, is still to give Nicaragua one-half
of the tolls received. Nicaragua also
gives, with the grant, the terminal
ports and harbors. and allows the Unit
ed States to provide any Notifications
aud defenses it may deem necessary, on
ly STIMULATING that it shall not wage Of
fensive warfare against any Central
American State friendly to Nicaragua.
The treaty also guarantees that the
Canal and it's accessories of every kind
shall be exempt from all taxation, and
no duties shall be levied on material
used in its construction and mainte-
nance:
