TRANs-NICARAaUAN LINE.
Railroad From Atlantic to Have
Outlet to Pacific Coast.

The proposed railroad from Lake Mic
aragua to the Atlantic will be connected
with the railroad from the Pacific to the
great lakes by a line Of steamers.
The floating of the big loan in England
France and other European countries is
OF much concern to the United States
officials because of the policy of the
United States toward the Central Amer
fcan governments and the consultation of
the United States by foreign countries in
connection with the collection of claims
against those governments.
From a well informed source ne state
ment comes that the report that the peo-
pie and government of Nicaragua are
hostile to the United States government
is false. Denial is made that the Official
publication of the Nicaraguan govern
ment Is advocating an agreement with
Japan whereby that country will con-
struct a Nicaraguan canal between the
Atlantic and Pacific.
1t is pointed out that the official pub
lication of the government is the Diario
Official and not the Diario de Nicaragua,
the newspaper quoted as having advanced
the proposition to negotiate treaty with
Japan The United States alone will be
permitted to construct such canal, 1t is
added.
