It was in substance as follows: I The report of the lsthmlsn Canal Commission washout to Congress t0- day. The commission. as anticipated several weeks ago. favors the Nicara- gua routet and makes an estimate of ‘ ' ”811.864.1162 as the total cost of con- struction of the canal through Nicara- gua. The estimated cost of the Pana- ma route is 3144;233:168. but. the re- port says,.it would cost $109,141,000 to obtain the Panama concession. Tire commission value the work done at 610.000.000. The report says the Pana- ma route is feasible as a sea level can. oi, while the Nicaragua route must be by looks. but Luke Nicaragua will fur— uish an inexhaustible supply of water i'i'or the canal. The Nicaragua route has no natural harbors at either end. but satisfactory hur'bors may be constlucb ed. Harbors already exist at each and of the Panam11.lrut considerable work must be done at the entrance of the ha1~ bor on the Atlantic side. With ade- quate 101cc and plant the commission o:111.imate that. the Moors 1151111. canul can be completed in six years exclusive of two years for preparation. Ten years Is estimated to complete the Panama canal. The total length of the Nicara- gua route is 183.60 miles. and the Pan- .rma route 49.09 miles. The. estimated cost or operating and rrnaintninlna the Nicaragua canal an» nuaiiy is $1 ‘150 000 greater than that of the. Panama canal The estimated tithe fora tit-cu draught vessel to pass through the Panama canal is twelve hours. and through Nicaragua canal. thirty-three hours. The Nicaragua route. the report says. is more advan- dsgirous for commerce. save that origin— ating on the want coast of South Amer- ica. For the gulf. ports the advantage In tn'o days. and for most of the ports on the Atlantic and Pacific one day. ‘bc Nicaragua route is said to bc bet tor for saillna vessels on account of favoring winds Hygienic conditions :1! so favor Nicaru‘zua. The commission ‘says the United States should acquire control of a strip of territory 10 miles wide from sea to sea. through which to build the canal. inc consent of Nice- ragua. and Costa Rica must be obtained to construct the canal. but the report says this can easily be scoured. The concessions granted by‘tbc Colombian government to the Panama Canal Com- pany. have. many years to run. and new concrssions cannot be grantcd the I ni- ted States The report contludcs as follows:' “After considering all the facts devel- oped by the investigations madc by tho (ommlssion the actual situation as it now stands. and having in view the 1m ms offered by the new Panama Canal Company this commission is of the op- inion that the most practicable and feasible route for an lsthmlan canal. to be under the control. management and (rwnershlp of the United States is that known at the Nicaragua route."
