THE CENTRAL AMERICAN TROUBLE.
A report has been received at the
Navy Department from Admiral Jouett
announcing the failure by the parties in
terested to settle the disputes in the
United States of Columbia He says the
political differences between the two
parties are OF such nature that peace
| able settlement is quite impossible at
this time. Hostilities are likely to con-
tinue indefinitely. The governmet troops
he reports, are marching on Baranquilla
The revolutionary leaders, the admiral
says, are the leaders of the Liberal party
in Columbia. The troubles on the 18th
mus, Admiral Jouett thinks, result from
| local politics aud from the fact that
many depraved characters congregate
there. He anticipates hard fighting IL
Columbia.

NEW ROUTE TO CUBA.
The Postoffice Department is abou
arranging to aid in establishing a new
and very direct line to Cuba. The tow
of Tampa, on the west side of Florida. i
to have a very direct railroad connection
with the North in few weeks. Thi
place is within a few hours BY fast steam
er of Cuba. The intention Of tie Post
Office Department is, as soon as this rail
road connection is established, to adver
tise for proposals for establishing a fas
line of mail steamers between lamp
and Cuba, touching at Key West. B.
this plan it is expected that a railroal
and steamship system will be estab
lished by which passengers from Ne1
York will be put into Havana in sixt
hours from the time of leaving that city
Another advantage Of this line will be t
open up to the North one of tn
finest winter resorts in the eoun
try, Key West. Up to this tim
this place has been very Difficult
of access, the steamer facilities being bad
and no encouragement being provided
for people to go there or for capitalist
to establish hotel accommodations
When this line is put on, however, tn
steamers will touch at Key West at al
times, as their route lies directly through
the harbor of that place, which, by TIA,
way, is one of the finest harbors of tn
world, having sixty feet of water over tn,
bar. This will make Key West, with ii
constant summer climate, very easil,
reached winter resort, and will probabl.
make it one of the most popular in thu
country, for the climate there in winter
is about as near perfection as it can b.
had on this mundane sphere. The ad
vantage of close mail and passenger con
nection with Cuba is expected to prov
very advantageous.
