What the Names Orders Were,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The pro
cedure 10 be followed by the Maine
upon her arrival OFF Havana is laid
down at the navy department as fol.
lows:
Being daylight (for no craft IS per-
mitted to enter the harbor during the
darknessl at the entrance to the har-
Dor the Maine will begin TO fire sa-
lutte of 2l guns. AS soon as the last
gun has been fired the guns of MORO
castle Will begin return solute of the
same number Of guns. Then, as there
Is Spanish admiral in the harbOr, a
salute must be fired by the Maine IN
his honor. There viii be Is guns If
he be vice admiral, and 13 guns If a
rear admiral. This salute will be re-
turned In kind and probably the
Spanish will send staff officer aboard
the Maine TO greet Captain Sigsbee
This call must be returned and then
there may be visit from port OH
Gals, health officers and other officers.
Meanwhile, presuming that the con-
sui general has not appeared, Captain
Sigsbee will send one of his Off .ers
ashore To the United States con-
sulate with message TO General Lee
stating that the Maine is waiting his
orders, and indicating that he would
be pleased TO receive the consul gen.
eral aboard or TO call upon him ashore
at his pleasure.
These calls having been exchanged,
the next thing In order will be re-
ceptlon TO the acting captain general,
as General Blanco has gone east as
far as Cabano. After these ceremonies
are concluded 50 far as custom pre-
scribes, there may be some entertain
ment extended to the Maine's officers
by officials in Hayanna. 1t is likely
the ships crew will be kept closely
aboard the ship, In this way the
of an unfriendly en-
counter between convival parties of
sailors and rowdies VIII be reduced.

Nicaragua Canal to BE Ruilt.

New YORK, Jan. 27-The Herald
: correspondent, with the Nicaragua
canal commission, advises under the
date OF Mamagua, January lS, that
the commission ca bled to Washington
two days ago, as follows:
The canal OF Nicaragua may be
Quilt for less than hree-quarters of
the original estimate. -Four and a
ball OF six and half years will be re-
uired TO build il. Forty-eight hun
dred labOrers are needed to cUmmence
work. These should he divided into
three groups. 200 between Rio San
Juan and Castillo; 1900 between Cor
! into and MomOtemba and 800 in Man
aqua. This number OF men should be
doubled within six months.
This was received by the canal COM
mission in reply:
"A company in Ohio and New York
has been duly formed to engage men
from Puerto BariOs, Jamaica, Belise
and Nicaragua -
The Herald's correspondent adds
That each OF the l3 engineers with the
commission represents hig syndi-
cate. each one fighting to get the con-
tract, but the Ohio and New York
men have secured it,. The Chicago
contractors and engineers are sa atistied
with the facilities for work !n the
Western division. These are beyond
their expectations. The party leaves
for Ichoa on January 25.
The Washington correspondent of
the Herald says that the above cable
gram is Interpreted there to mean
that the Maritime Canal Company,
anticipating favorable report, from
the Walker commission as TO the
Feasibility OF the project and of subse-
quent favorable action by congress,
has men prepared to bigin the work
of construction Immediately.
Under the terms of its concession
from the Nicaraguan government the
canal was to have been completed
uext fall, otherwise the concession
would be forfeited unless that COM
pany had extended a large sum OF !
money In the prosecution OF the work. |
la TACT, IT Is the contention of the |
Nicaraguan government that the coC /.
cessiOn has already been forfeited, but |
TINS contention is not accepted by |
either the company or the admins
tration.
The preliminary report which the
will make will be SUBJ
mitted to congress with view to get
ting favorable action without delay |
upon the bill giving governmental
support TO the project. 1t has been
anticipated that the report would be
favorable, both as regards the feasibi-
lily and cost OF the canal. The esti-
mates made by Civil Engineer A. G.
Menocal for the plan in 1895 for the
construction OF a canal following the
lola basin line puts the cost OF the
work at 500, ,466, $50, and a second esti-
nate, fixed the cost at S68, 1892 600.
