NICARAGUA CANAL,
Eyre-Cragin Syndicate Now In Full
Control.

Managua, Nicaragua, Aug. 3.-Presi-
dent Zelaya, speaking before the Mica
ragua congress at the opening session,
announced the termination of the conces-
sion of the Maritime Canal company and
formally proclaimed the existence of the
Eyre-Cragin syndicate concession.
The presidents official statement final
ly clears the canal situation, which has
been much beclouded during the last two
years. 1t means:
That if the United States decides to
build the canal it must deal with the
Eyre-Cragin syndicate, which, without
regard to previous treaties, concessions
or conditions. has the sole right to con
struct the canal.
How explicitly the Nicaraguan gov
ernment has granted the concession and
how completely the Cragin syndicate
owns it is shown by article of the con
cession, which says:
The state of Nicaragua shall grant in
perpetuity to the Interoceanic Canal
company (the Cragn syndicatel the eX-
elusive right to survey, locate, eXcavate,
construct, enlarge, extend, use. maintain.
own and operate maritime canal and
its accessories between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans through the territory of
Nicaragua. AS long as this agreement is
in force the state covenants not to make
any other contract for the construction
of canal between the two oceans"
