Managua, Nicaragua, April S0.-A
proposition of compromise and, .imme-

Immediately withdrawn from Corinto

Warning Concerning Condition of Epinai
Reservoir Had Been Given.


Paris. April 30.-The Epinal reservoir,
the bursting of which caused the de-
struction of over $10,0OO,00O worth OF
property and the loss of more than 100
lives, had a superficial area of 100000
square feet In 1884 large fissure in the
main dam developed This was filed
with cement and oak beams.
In 1885 the feed canal burst above
Bouzey and carried away length of
sixty feet. Several houses were de-
stroyed on this occasion, but no lives
were lost. Some time before this an in
spector of roads and bridges announced
that the condition of the dam was dan
gerous and notified the people of Bou-
zey to watch for n possible disaster.
In 1892 there was a second accident to
the wall near Epinal During two years
the wall of the dam, which should have
been straight, has shown bulge to the
extent of about three feet. The chief
engineer of roads and bridges who d.
rected the building of the dam, had
great difficulty with his colleagues In
order to carry out his plan of straight
dam instead of a curved one.
This shape of the dam Is now given
as the cause of the accident but there
is a possibility that the disaster was
caused by the illness for fifteen days Of
the inspector who was charged with the
supervision of the dam.
