ment was printed In these dispatoh-
es at the time. Annexation would.
Of course. settle the canal problem
and give us very rich colony with
natural resources that are almost
Incompatible but have lain unde-
veloped because OF the political dis
turbances that have continued ever
since independence was established.
There s. no object in trying to get
ahead I'm Nicaragua. because as soon
MS n planted shows signs OF pros
perity he Is set upon either by tho
government or by revolutionary
leaders Cor whatever he can contrib
ute TO their support. The common
people are intelligent, docile and in
dustuous. but the higher classes
make n business OF politics and are
fighting all the time either to main
tain or overthrow some govern
ment. Nicaragua would be n trou-
hlcsome colony FOR this reason. Per-
sonal ambition overshadows every
thing else among the educated class
es, and the outs are always trying
to overthrow the ins.
The little republic Of Salvador, the
next-door neighhur OF Nicaragua,
once annexed herself 10 the United
states and appointed commissioners
to come to Washington to close the
arrangement. But before they LEFT
the government that sent them was
overthrown aud the movement was
abandoned There has been no en-

opinion can be obtained on the sub
icct until the matter ~ formally
