There was a small sized riot at the Ia

there not being food enough for the mer
or utensils to cook it with. Mr.. Finn
who Is at the head OF the labor bureau
made speech to the men and slated
that It was impossible to get things down
from the railroad, but that it would be
gotten down as soon as possible, He
also stated that they did not want men

work OF charity, even though the men
did get paid for their work. A few min

hard crackers and cheese, two workmen
came up him and commenced to COM
plain because they did not have soup
and meat, This enraged Mr.. Finn and
after telling them that he thought he
was used 10 as good eating rs they were,
he ordered the guards to take the men
out and not permit them to come back
again. This seemed TO have the decided
effect, and there was no more trouble,
This morning twenty time.keepers ar
rived from Pittsburgh, and they are now
hard at work getting the names OF the
men employed. 1t was stated that 5000
men are at work, and it Is expected that
by tomorrow at least 10000 men will be
employed, but even this large force OF
men will not be able to remove debris

about 500 OF the laborers had no tents 10

from Washington that tents are on their

The committee also discussed tho ad-
visibility OF paying off the men now

as promised. 1t was decided that, as
money is OF no use to the men while

and the guns which commanded the head of
the San Juan are rusting in the abundant
mud.
At this point those desiring to explore
the San Juan river proceed to engage a
large native canoe or bongo. These craft
are mostly followed out of single tree, and
are of considerable size, drawing three feet
of water and average five tons in burden.
The after portion has a rooted cabin to
screen passengers from the alterations of
burning sun and drenching rain. The half
naked native boatmen disdain any such
protection, and at night coil up on the
benches sleeping the slumbers of the just,
undisturbed alike by the perennial thunder
storms, the mosquitoes or the malarious
dews of the river.
Apropos OF malaria, it is worth
while to note that though the
climate of Nicaragua is healthier
than that of the Panama Isthmus, it is only
relatively so. Especially is this true of the
valley of the San Juan. Eighty per cent of
the English expedition which attempted the
conquest of the country in 1880 perished
from disease on the San Juan river. OF
the 200 men who accompanied Lord Nelson
only ten returned alive. 1t is idle, there
fore, to disguise the fact that the mortality
among the canal laborers is likely to be
quite heavy, unless far more stringent sani-
tary precautions are adopted than in the
management of the Panama enterprise.
Europeans and Americans can live III
Nicaragua, as in other tropical countries,
and enjoy good health, but they must OBJ
serve the simple conditions which common
sense would dictate, namely abstemiousness
both in food and drink; avoidance of ex-
citement; cleanliness; the use of suitable
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-04-07

which an English expedition gained an in
glorious and barren victory over the Nicara-
guam forces in 1S4S. Nine miles further
down the mouth of the Colorado is reached,
and from this point to Greytown harbor, a
distance of IA miles, the San Juan flows
over its own delta. The bed is necessarily
shallow, and, as Greytown harbor is already
filled up, the only solution of the difficulty
is the excavation of direct water way to
the sea, through which the entire current of
the San Juan can be diverted, the side
channels and the tributary streams being
damned up.
1t will be seen from this outline of the
problem that the three main difficulties of
the enterprise, and therefore its most costly
features, are the passage of the rapids, the
dredging, etc., at the terminal points
Brito and Greytown-and the cost of in
ternal transit during construction. This
last will necessarily be considerable. 1t
may be added that, while Nicaragua has
many sections of rare productiveness, pro-
visions are scarce and dear, while property
is insecure and native labor unreliable. At
the same time, it is impossible for an i'm
partial observer who has gone over the
Panama and Nicaragua route to escape the
conclusion that, had the Panama Canal
funds already fruitlessly expended been
placed at the disposal of an honest. intelli-
gent and earnest corporation in Nicaragua,
a canal connecting the two oceans, between
Brito and Greytown, would long since have
been completed. BOLIVAR.

Nicaragua. 1t stands on the summit of a
hill with steep sides toward the river, and
has an admirable location for military pur:
poses. Everything now is in a state
of innocuous desuetude, and the Iuxuriant
growth of creepers has softened the asperi-
ties of the battlements in the manner which
artists love to look upon, while ultilitari-
ans regard the change as evidence of q
utility that has been survived.
Built by the Spaniards in 1747 the fort
was captured by the English expedition
under Colonel Poison and Captain, after
ward Lord, Nelson, in 1850. 1t has since
remained. with brief interruption in 1848,
in the hands of the Nicaraguan Govern
ment. Nelson was strongly in favor of the
seizure and occupation of the entire San
Juan Valley, pointing out that it would
"cut Spanish America in two." Doubtless
the hero of Trafalgar had also a prescience
of the value of the position, in the contin-
gency of canal being constructed. One
of the most interesting relics at the old cas-
tie is stone sentry box. its floor indented
by the feet and muskets of the sentries who
tenanted it a century ago.

They have given no idea of the scenery,
climate and social conditions prevailing
along the line of the proposed canal.
This port of Corinto, the old Realejo, is
out of the line surveyed for the canal pro-
posed TO be constructed BY the company
which has been seeking charter from the
United States Government. But it is
worthy of note that it was the contemplated
terminus Of the first practical and practical
BILE waterway between the oceans proposed
bv modern science after the Spaniards had
relinouished their hold on Central America.
Louis Napoleon III, while a prisoner at
Ham, occupied himself worthily with this
great engineering problem. He suggested
that the San Juan river should be used for
the passage from the Atlantic to Lake Mica
ragua, thence by the Rio Tipitapa to Lake
Managua, whence a canal was to be cut to
the Pacific at Realejo.
CHANGES IN THE SAN JUAN.
1t was longer route than that now ap-
proved, but it had many advantages which
were more apparent in those days than at
present, BY reason of the numerous physi-
cal changes which the country has under
gone in the past 40 years. These changes
have particularly affected the Rio Tipitapa
and the San Juan rivers. In 1S4S the mouth
