last hight the committee would be
ready 10 report TO the syndicate in
about month
AS summary of our opinion" he
added, Il may say that from nearly ali
more favorable than we anticipated,
and We found conditions better than
have heretofore been reported The
matters which bear directly upon the
question of the practicability of the
canafs construction and the cost and
ease Of its maintenance are climatic
conditions, rainfall labor and the Gov
ernments Of Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
As regards the climate, there seems to
be no reason why the work cannot be
as We'll conducted as far as health Of
the laeorers is concerned as in the
more favorable portions of cur own
country Our observation convincss us
that the difficulties due to rainfall are
fully offset by the frosts in the north
ern parts of our country.
We found that the native laborers
are excellent pickers and shovelers and
the record of imported labor from ia
maica and the Southern States is OK
cell@n1. 1t should be remembered that
no labor can accomplish as much in
that country as in our own. This fact.
however. is partially offset by lesser
wages. 1t is impossible to say what the
rate of wages would be when 20. 900 or
10000 men are required for employment
on the canal. but at the present time
common labor in Nicaragua receives
what is equivalent to 30 cents in gold
a day
The republic of Nicaragua will be
affected by the canal in a greater de-
gree than Costa Rica. The conserva-
tive party which was in power until a
few years ago, and the liberal party.
which Is now in power are enthusi-
astic friends Of the canal. They. of
course, realize the tremendous advant-
ages which the canal would bring to
all the people of Nicaragua. The Gov
eminent Of Costa Rica views the adj
Vantages of the canal similarly though
IN less degree. All the expressions
received from the President and his
Cabinet We're friendly to the canal but
we surmised that the present strained
relations and consequent jealousies be-
tween Nicaragua and Costa RIGA pre-
vented the same active interest on the
part of President Iglesias of Costa
Rica as was present in the attitude of
President Zelaya of Nicaragua
There seems to be no fever, except
ing II Greytown, the Atlantic port of
the canal, where we are assured that
a fatal case is the exception where men
observe the ordinary rules of health
and abstain from the excessive use of
alcohol. OF 300 laborers engaged for
year on a twenty-mile railroad
through the swamps from Greytown
only three died.

The Tension Over the Maine Dis
aster Noticeably Relieved.

WASHINGTON. March THE ten
sion over the Maine affair is noticeably
relieved in all official quarters to-day
partly because Of the absence of dis
patches to the state or Navy Depart

because Of the conservatism inspired
by Secretary Longs utterance that the
element of Spanish participation in the
disaster has been eliminated, in his
judgment. Although the Navy Depart

A memorandum recites the basis of
suspicion of the Dauntless. 1t states
that in the case of the United States
VS.. John d, Hart, recently approved
by the Court of Appeals, the testimony
of one witness was that the Dauntlees
had painted out her name in order to
avoid recognition While taking on sup
plies for the Cubans. The testimony
of this witness is given in detail. He
says the supplies We're first brought
from the United States to Navassa or
the ship Laurada, when they We're
transferred to the Dauntless. He says
he noticed that the word "Dauntless'
appeared on the buckets. ak handles
and yaWls of the vessel. but that the
name on the bow was covered With a
piece of canvas and the name on the
stern was painted out For this al
legged offense against the navigation
laws. it is pointed out. the Dauntless
has never been prosecuted, and it is
claimed to be a continuing offense, for
which she IS now subject to libel.
The memorandum also cites another
instance occurring last May, when it
is stated that the United States cruiser
Marblehead overhauled the Dauntless.
Thereupon, it is stated the Daunliess
threw over her cargo, las witnessed by
the officers of the Marblehead'' 1t
also states that the Dauntless has been
