The Nicaragua Canal.

Accounts from the Nicaragua canal
expedition report that the photographic
corps have already begun their labors at
the west side Of Lake Nicaragua. Two
routes are suggested from the lake to the
sea, on the eastern side, which diverge
at point about twenty-five miles from
the lake, one route being through the
rock and difficult in its engineering. but
seven miles shorter than the easier line
which runs below. A thorough explo-
ration to determine the advantages and
disadvantages Of the two routes win be
made.
