San Juan del Norte (Greytown), Nicaragua, Dec
2e-The American engineers who are pushing forward
the work OF uniting the Atlantic with the Pacihc
passed their first Christmas these shores In very
pleasant manner, IN spite of the fact that they eat
their Christmas dinner while "sweering," the ther-
momeer registering ninety in the shade" In every
camp along the San Juan there was plenty OF good
cheer many of the lucky indulgng in roast wild
hog roast venison and wild turkey, in addition to
such delcacies plump iguana lizards nicely stuffed
parrots stewed monkeys and other dishes of like
nature which cked the paates Of native Nicaraguans
and sometimes tempted the appetite OF some OF
the American canaldigCers.
Among the improvements made here is the building
Of large wharf at Camp La Fee and in front OF the
three story storehouse This wharf is completed,
and serves for the better landing Of provisions and
material The pier or breallwater by the time this

200 feet into the ocean, 140 feet Is now completed,
and piles for the remaining 60 feet to complete the

Camp Cheney, after President A. c. Cheney. of the
