There is a railroad in Nicaragua.
which starts at Corinto and runs TO
Managua and thence across to Ora
NADIA. on Lake Nicaragua. which is the
largest inland body of water in all
Latin America.
OCCUPIED IN 1922.
The coast OF Nicaragua was sighted
by Columbus as he sailed along the
shore on his fourth voyage. in 1902
but he made no attempt at settlement.
There was no occupation until 1922.
when Gil Gonzalez Dayila. sailing
westward from Panama. careened his
vessels on the shore for needed re-
pairs. While the work was going on
Dayila and 100 of his men pushed their
way toward the interior for explora-
ton. They encountered various Indian
tribes. whose chiefs accepted the doc
trines of Christianity as Davila and
his ecclesiastic presented them. The
converts gave him considerable sums
in gold. The first permanent settle
ment was made at Granada. near the
northern end Of Lake Nicaragua. in
1923, by an expedition which sailed
from Panama.
The eastern part of Nicaragua is in.
habited almost entirely by Indians.
This area is the long disputed Mos
quito coast country, which has more
than once threatened serious interna-
tional complications. Although grant
ed by Spain about 1912 and again in
1876 for purposes OF colonization. this
strip remained as it was at the time
Of its discovery until the middle of the
seventeenth century. The industrious
buccaneers of that period used it as a
base of operations for their attacks
upon the Spanish galleons sailing from
Cartagena and Nombre de Dios, laden
with the riches of Peru. AS many of
these f~reebooters were Englishmen. the
piratical enterprises led TO a small Eng
lish settlement on the Mosquito coast.
In 174O the English governor OF ia
maica suggested a definite occupation
as a nucleus movement which should
drive Spain from the new world and
throw the entire country into British
possession.

vented its consummation. The dispute

RESOURCES OF REPUBLIC.

Nicaragua is rich in natural
and i'll industrial possibilities. Her for.
ests abound In valuable dyewoods and
cabinet woods. Like her n~eighbors. she
produces coffee of superior quality. Sug-
ar is produced for local consumption
and might be grown for export il il
could be more economically trans
ported. Cocoa and rubber and bananas
are lines OF industry which might be in
definitely extended. Cotton is also
among the possibilities. Cattle do well.
and cattle raising is an important in
dustry. Large claims are made for the
mineral wealth Of the country. Gold is
found throughout a wide area, and the
early Indians and the Spaniards of a
later time secured it in considerable
quantities by very crude methods. Sill
yer, copper. iron, tin and lead are also
found in quantities which promise fair
profit to those who will develop the
mines.
Recent years have shown a good i'm
provement In general trade conditions,
although the commerce OF the country
is still small in its amount. The i'm
ports Of 1904 are reported as So, ZOE. 25S
in comparison with s2.460.9 43 in 1903.
Exports for 1903 are given as 1922
600, with increase to $3.925,920 in 1904.
The United States takes a little more
than half OF the exports and supplies
a little more than half Of the i'm
Dorts.

MILLIONS INVESTED THERE.
c of the of the little
republic to the Panama canal its i'm
portance as an inviting country for the
investment OF money has long been be-
yond dispute. Already millions OF
foreign capital are invested in its re-
sources by foreigners, including Amer

foreigners In Nicaragua thar in most
OF the other Central American coun-
tries. 1t has only been through foreign
influence that the country has adyanc-
ed beyond its civilization Of a thousand
years ago.
To get the right conception OF Mica
ragua the following comparisons and
facts will be of great assistance to
those who have become sufficiently In
terested In the recent disturbances to
feel curious. There are only four
square miles difference between the
area OF Nicaragua and the state or
New York. Take Connecticut out OF
New England and Nicaragua will COW

mately half the size of the state or

than Holland. Belgium and Denmark

tent OF coast line pm two oceans On
the Caribbean it reaches almost 300
miles due north and south. On the
Pacific 1t extends 90 miles. Its great

distance from Washington TO New
York. Its least width is 125 miles.
Although 1t has the smallest popula-
ton OF any Central American country.
1t Is correspondingly capable OF great
material development. There are only
1000 people within its limits. and
about five-sixths of them are located

until tine Central American revolt In
1921. Even then England did not aban-
don her claim, although her right to
occupation was denied by the new re-
publics and by the United States. The
situation in 1S4s brought the United
States very nea to a clash with Eng
land. The close of the Mexican war
and the acquisition OF California
brought the question Of an isthmian
canal into active consideration In this
country. England's seizure Of Grey
town and a little later OF the bay Of
FOnseca on the Pacific coast led to the
signing OF the convention known as
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. In 1860
England recognized the sovereignty of
Nicaragua over the Mosquito coast.
and In 1894 it was formally incorpo-
rated into Nicaragua as the depart
ment Of Zelaya.
Native villages are scattered through
the district, but the only places of any
Importance are the seaport towns Of
Biuefields and Greytown.
