General Daniel MacauIey, just Returned
from Nicaragua. Reports the Inter-Oce-
anic Canal Progressing Satisfactorily.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-General Daniel
Macauley, of indianapolis, who is great
ly interested in the Nicaraguan canal,
has just returned to Washingto ton from
Nicaragua, and reports matters pro.
crossing satisfactorily. Already there
has been expended on the instruction
of the canal So, 500 900, and much sub.
stantial work done. General Ma.
is to be an excavation to the depth OF
$50 to 200 feet through solid rock for a
distance of two and half miles. This
excavation alone will cost $40, 900. 900 or
SIS, geo, 600, but when it is once begun
it is merely matter of so much dyna.
mite and SO many laborers. On the
west coast the rock to be removed is
not SO great in quantity, and in both
cases the debris is to be utilized in the
construction of dams, ocean piers and
canal locks, so that it is valuable ma.
terial and not waste stuff which we ex-
cavate OF the entire route of 1G7 miles
but twenty-seven miles require much
digging. Labor is reported scarce, most
of it coming from the United States.
At Pcenta a force of men is at work.
General Macauley says that the prepar.
atory work is nearly finished. He
thinks that in five OR six years steamers
will be passing through the canal.
