NICARAGUA AND COSTA RIcA.-Mlnis |
Ter Zpledon tells q Herdld reporter
AGAIN that the irumTld-up story Of Cos
Ia Ricas opposition 90 the Nicaragua
canal is all bosh. and he adds, as TO ihf
treaty Of limits.
Costa Rica has fully enjoyed those
RIGHTS ever since the conclusion of the
treaty Of limits. and they have Away
been the basis of the different conces.
sions for an interOceanic canal granted
by Costa Rica.
"The respect paid by Costa Rica tothe
treaty Of limits OF 1858 is not the thing
of the present only. She always. and at
all times. ever since its conclusion. con-
sidered the treaty a most sacred com
pace.
The alleged opposition between the
present administration Of Costa Rica
and the former one. especially in regard
tn the interOceanic canal. is q pure IN
vention, without foundation Of truth
as had occasion to state before IN an
other interview.
Il deem it Inconsistent with my pD-
eition to descend to contradict some OF
the assertions made in the statement
above referred 10, as they are much in
opposition to truth and derogatory 90
the character Of the Costa Rlca people.
and have. on the other hand. 10 author
