THE EIGHT ENGINEERS
COMPLETE THEIR LABOR ON THE
CANAL SURVEYS
The Nicaragua Waterway Can Be
Completed for Much Less Ths7
the Early Estimates

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Eight govern
ment engineers who have been engaged ON
the preliminary survey of the Nicaragua
Canal have arrived in this city on the
steamship Altai. They remained in Mic
aragua to complete the work, which was
in progress when Admiral Walker and
other members OF the commission were re-
called to take part in the war with Spain.
Eben S. Wheeler was the chief engineer
Of the party. Its other members were:
Andrew Onderdonk, Harvey C. Miller,
Louis Hawkins, VIM. D. Thomas, Richard
p. Post, p. ]. Burns and Horatio H. Trun-
die.
The preliminary work was finished be-
fore the party left the field and a vast
| amount Of data, the results of surveyings,
borings and soundings has been brought
back and will be included in the official
reports which will be placed before Con-
gress at its coming session. The survey
shows that the proposed canal is entirely
feasible, and that the cost would be con-
iderably less than the estimates made
by the Ludlow commission or the sum
named by Admiral Walker a year ago, as
likely to be needed.
The reduction In cost Is due to q change
in the location of the Ochoa dam, and to
other notifications of the old route.
The Ludlow commission estimated the
cost of the canal at s113,OoO, 600. Admiral
Walker named $125,0 900 as the aggregate
cost.
The report of the engineers will place the
amount at less than 100000, 600. By chang
ing the location of the dam from Ochoa
to point IA miles lower down, the build
ing of the San Juan basin and its costly
embankment can be avoided, and a saw
ing of s1O,O0O,OOO made.
While Mr.. Wheeler ,and other members
Of the returning party declined to be quoted
at any length in reference to the canal
work, they say their reports will show
that the canal is a project containing no
serious difficulty and that 1t can be quick
ly and cheaply built.
1t Is two years now since any actual
company of which Warner Miller is the
head. The concession obtained by the
company for the Nicaragua government
Is said to still hold good. The attempt
to build the canal by private means has
heen abandoned by Mr.. Miller and his as
sociatss, and all rights in the premises
have been offered to the government
A syndicate Of Chicago capitalists, head
ed by e. F. Cragin, have looked over the
ground and It is now said to be endeavoring
to obtain concession from Nicaragua.
Mr.. Cragin and a party of civil engineers
and contractors from Chicago have recent
ly returned from the 1sthmus and are said
to be interesting members of Congress in
their plans.
The statisticians have placed the volume
of the commerce that is likely to pass
through the canal much higher than the
estimates Of the government and their
opinion is that the revenues to be derived
will warrant them in spending considerably
more than 500 OOO, 900 in building the canal.

The flames are known to be doing tre-

down in the San Juan region.
An estimate of the damage done is hard
to make, but 1t will run into the millions.

by heavy rain many persons are certain
to perish.
Several mining camps and innumerable
