One of the Holders of the San Juan
River Concession Talks.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Sir William For
wood, who is a member of a shipowning
firm which owns a concession that, 1t is
alleged, gives it control of navigation on
the San Juan river for distance of about
fifty miles from Lake Nicaragua is In this
city. Sir William denied to a reporter to-
day that his presence here has any con-
nection with the Nicaragua concession
which his firm holds, but added: ''It is
true that our company holds a concession
for the navigation of the San Juan river
and under its terms we are now operating
vessels on the river and also on Lake
Nicaragua as far as Managua. The conces-
sion was obtained In the natural course of
business expansion. and without any re-
gard to the possible construction of an in
teroceanic canal along this route | don't
see how Ii would be possible for a builder
of canal whether government or a
private company, TO take possession of the
San Juan river without consulting us as
the holders of the concession. At the same
time do not wish TO be quoted as saying
that our concession will interfere In any
way with the project of interoceanic
canal across Nicaragua, should the United
States decide to build such a canal Our
interests are small compared with the
gigantic nature of such project"
