THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
OmciaI Correspondence with tie
spect to It-ZcIayn's Position

Ofiicfal Correspondence VIZ"
spect to It-ZeIayn's Position
WASHINGTON. d. c. March S.-The
President to-day sent TO the Senate, IN
response to a resolution of January 2Sd
last. copies of the correspondence ana
official communications relating to the
Nicaragua canal since 1881 with the Gov
eminent Of Nicaragua or any Minister
thereof. and between the Government OF
the United States and its Minister ac-
credited TO the Government of Nicaragua.
The correspondence is exceedingly Vo!umi-
nous. and covers a period from August
q. 1883, to January Y, 1877. the CORE
spondence under the last date being Mr.
Olney's notice to Minister Rodriguez, OF
the Greater Republics. that he had Tor
warded TO the Committee on Foreign Re-
lati0ns a translation Of his protest
against the passage of the Nicaragua
canal bill.
The most important communication
perhaps. is a note from Minister Baker
to Mr.. Olney, under date of February B.
1896. in which, at conference held with
President Zelaya, Of Nicaragua, that OH
cial is quoted as saying: The govern
ment has taken the opinion OF commls-
sion of three of our ablest lawyers as TO
whether the canal company has forfeited
its concession by reason or not having
done any work in this country for many
years and after q most careful eXami-
nation Of the question in all its bear
ings. the commission came to the con-
clusion that the company had broken It's
contract with this government"
But" added the President, I'VE VIII
not throw any obstacle in the way Of the
company if il will in good faith try to
raise the money and go along with the
work. If. however, the company con-
tinues its inactivity, l hope the United
States Government viii take up the work
itself, and put it through"
When Minister Baker observed that he
understood that under the concession the
United States would not be permitted TO
DO this, President Zelaya replied: That
can be very easily arranged. Nicaragua,
after six or seven years experience with
the company has come TO the conclusion
that only a great government can and
will do the work, and we will be pleased
to make a contract with the United States
to take control of it..
When asked if Nicaragua had at any
time had an offer from a foreign com
pany to take hold of the enterprise, on
condition that the existing contract be
gotten rid of, President Zelaya said
frankly that it had not. Minister Baker
said he made these statements at the
request of the President, so that his posi-
ton might correctly be understood at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March 3.-An-

Brawley, of the Yantic. on the South
Atlantic Station, at Montevideo The
cable brings meagre details of his es-
capade which is not connected with
pecuniary matters, but involves the wife
of a brother officer. Brawley is a young
South Carolinian, son Of an eX-con-
gresham. and was appointed to the SER
vice May %. 1895. A week ago he cabled
his resignation TO Secretary Herbert,
urging Its immediate acceptance, and
the following day he disappeared from
Montevideo, either by land for Patagonia,
or by sea to the Cape of Good Hope.
The Navy Department promptly asked
Captain Yates Sterling about the cause
Of the resignation and to-day reply
came telling of Brawley's flight after
"scandalous conduct. affecting brother
officers honor" and advising the ac-

This seems an odd enough subject for
volatile France to plunge into head over

both seem to look into IL with the same

hypnotism than it is TO induce "a woman

Perhaps the leading mind among the
French scientists who have devoted their

Iiebeault. He has paid particular atten-

COAL MINERS AGREE.

of striking coal miners of Northern IL
linois coal fields, at late hour last
night, reached a secret agreement
which viii be made known next Mon
day evening to the various local or
CARNATIONS interested. 1t is believed
it took steps looking to the securing
of a compromise and it is generally
understood that there will be anoth-
er concerted effort made about Janu-
airy LIST, throughout the country for
an increase of the wage scale. Thir-
teen thousand men are affected by this
action.
