WILLIAM R. GRACE DENIES.
Syndicate Has Not Been Dissolved
and New Company Will Build

New York, Oct. 31.-William R. Grace
denied emphatically today that the Mic
araguan ship canal syndicate, in which
he is interested, and which is represented
by Erward E. Cragin of Chicago and
Edward Eyre of New York, had BEEN or
was going to be, dissolved.
Mr.. Grace authorized the statement
that u new company would be formed for
the purpose of building the canal. This
company. he said, would have ample
financial backing, but he did not care to
give the names of the stockholders at
present. Mr.. Grace will be at the head of
the new corporation.
In the new concessions the Nicaraguan
government agrees to make no claim for
any portion of the profits of the ship
canal for q period of 1879 years. After that
time the government will be entitled to
one-half of the receipts of the canal. The
holders of this concession are to be all
lowed to police ana control the district
through which the canal is to be built
The Nicaraguan government grants the
privilege of the Importation of all kinds
of supplies necessary to the constrac-
ton of the canal The syndicate is re-
CURED to open. communication between
the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans with
in three years. If the waterway does not
then extend across the isthmuS the diff
ferent section must be connected by rail-
roads, so as to afford means of transport
tation from ocean to ocean. The con-
cession also provides that the new COM
pany must begin work OF construction
within six months after the expiration of
the Maritime Canal company's conces-
sion.
President Hiram Hitchcock of the Mari
time Canal company, of Nicaragua, was
asked if the concession held by his COM
pany had been abrogated or declared for
feited for any cause by the Nicaraguan
government. He replied: I'VE have no
| information that the Nicaraguan govern
mint has done anything of the kind. This
company holds concessions from Nicara-
! qua and Costa Rica. The Nicaraguan
| concession runs for ten years from Octo-
| Der, 1893, and 1t contains provision for its
! extension. The concessions from Costa
Rica have about three years longer to
run. The charter of the Maritime Canal
company of Nicaragua was granted by
| the congress of the United States, and II
recognizes the validity of these conces-
! sions. If the present administration acts
! as the facts seem to indicate. funds will
! be provided for the construction of this
] canal at an early date
/ The heller prevailed today that Coils
p. Huntington was one of the capitalists
| back OF the Cragin-Eyre syndicate. Mr.
] Huntington denisd that such was the
! fact. and said: II am inclined to think
| the parties who are proposing to build
the Nicaraguan canal will not build it II

I ana are careful first to get an accurate
| idea OF the amount of business Il woul6

SO lighthouses may represent an outlay
of $S25.00e
Spain has constructed braakwaters at
Manila, at an expense net yet known
here, and wharves of small value along
the Pasig river. She has recently built
barracks for 1000 men, now occupied
by American troops, the cost OF which
is not yet ascertainable. At Cav1te,
Spain has built a naval station which
before it was sacked by the natives was
said TO be equal to the Mare lslano
station, and may be worth 81. 5000 OO.
Whether or not the last two items can
be strictly designated pacific expendl-
lures" must be determined in confer
ence, but the lighthouses, Water i'm
provements, barracks and naval sta
ton are necessary to the United States
as the owner OF the Philippines and are
deemed worth fair price Spain has
also built some schoolhouses which the
Americans are willing to take over at
cost.
sPANIARDS SURPRISED.
The Spanish commissioners listened
attentively, though not without some
evidences of Impotence and surprise at
the financial suggestions in the Amer
lean presentment, and finally asked un
til Friday to consult the Madrid gov
eminent and make reply. Adjournment
was then taken to that day.
After the conference was dissolved the
Spanish commissioners expressed the
opinion that the American demands would
create in Spain. as they had upon her
commissioners, an exceedingly grave i'm
preston Were the Spanish commission
ers pushed tc final determination tonight
they would reject the American demands,
: but the changing tone of the Spanish
press recently urges the contamination
of a treaty of peace, however rigorous.
the argument being that although The
Spaniards bow to the American demands.
the commissioners DO not acknowledge the
justice or admit the legality of them.
y Tonight the Spanish commissioners feel
that the United States to all intents and
purposes, have not offered any financial
inducenent 10 Spain to cede by treaty
any part of the Philippines. Had the
American commissioners even offered to
take over the entire Philippine debt of
about S40o00,o00 the Spaniards affect to
feel that il would have been as nothing.

meagre as not to warrant even a schedule

respondent at Managua cables that
President Zelaya, in his message to
congress, called in extraordinary ses-
sion, presents clearly the Nicaraguan
view of the situation shared little by
the government and the people. In
substance he said:
Il shall give you an account of a
promise of a contract for the opening
of an interoceanic canal through our
isthmus, granted to Messrs. Cragin &
Eyre, representing a respectable syndi-
cate of American capitalists. The gov
eminent has formed a clear and we'll
defined opinion that the CardenaS-M Men
ocal contract of March, 1887, has been
forfeited for non-fulfllment of its most
essential claims and for the abandon
ment OF work for nine consecutive
years; but wishing to avoid annoying
discussions that might bring difficulties,
owing to the malice with which some
| proceed where interests are tstake,
the government has eluded all possible
trouble by not declaring the forfeiture
of that contract and by giving Messrs.
Cragin & Eyre a promise that such
shall take effect when the pretended
| rights of the old contractors are dis
pose dof or completely extinguished.
Inc promise made TO MeSSrS. CraSln
& Eyre is based on the security of the
| reputation and standing of the parties
we are dealing with and on the deposit
! of 100000 in gold. By comparing the
contract of 1887 with this one YOU will
observe that this future one is far
superior 1t is more practicable, yet
encourages and assures better foreign
capital in undertaking so great an en-
! terprise and one that carries with it so
many eventualities. 1t is also in many
ways more advantageous to Nicaragua.
1t is true the contract of 1887 promises
| the canalization of the Tipitapa river
between lakes Managua and Nicaragua.
but Messrs. Cragin & Eyre offer some
| thing more positive in a line of inter-
oceanic transportation from the Allan
! tic to the Pacific that shall be COM
pleted three years after the new COM
pany is organized.

Great Surprise In Madrid.

Madrid, Oct Sl.-The news that the
Spanish peace commissioners at Paris had
referred to the government the formal
demand OF the American commissioners
for the absolute cession Of tho entire

prevails that the government should pro-
test theoretically against what is re-
garded as violation of the spirit of the
protocol.
