FAVOR NICARAGUA ROUTE.
Report of Isthmiam Canal Commits
sioner Sent to ConEress-Esti-
innate of Expense.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The report of
the isthmian canal commission was
sent to congress Wednesday. The
commission, as anticipated several
weeks ago, favors the Nicaragua
route and makes On estimate of $780,
S64,062 as the total cost of construc.
ton. of the canal through Nicaragua.
The estimated cost of the Panama
route is $144,233,35S, but, the report
says, it would cost $1O9, al 900 to OBJ
tain the Panama concession. The
commission value the work done at
$4o,0O0,Oo0.
The report says the Panama route
is feasible as sea level canal while
the Nicaragua route must be by locks,
but Lake Nicaragua will furnish an in
exhaustible supply of water for the
canal. The Nicaragua route has no
natural harbors at either end, but sat
isfactory harbors may be constructed.
l1arbors already exist at each end of
the Panama route, but considerable
work must be done at the entrance of
the harbor on the Atlantic side.
With adequate force and plant the
commission estimate that the Nicara-
qua canal can be completed in six
years, exclusive of two years for
preparation. Ten years is estimated
to complete the Panama. The total
length of the Nicaragua route is 163.6 sc
miles and the Panama route 1900
miles. go.
The estimated cost of operating and
maintaining the Nicaragua canal an
nually is $1,350,oo0 greater than that
of the Panama canal. The estimated
time for a deep draught vessel to pass
through the Panama canal is IL hours
and through Nicaragua canal 33 hours.
The Nicaragua route, the report
says,eis more. advantageous for com
merce save that originating on the
west coast of South America. For the
gulf ports the advantage is two days,
and for most. of the ports on the At
lantic and. Pacific one day. The
Nicaragua route is said to be better
for sailing vessels on account of favor
ing winds. Hygienic conditions also
favor Nicaragua. - .,>.~s
