Two Companies Propose to Build
Nicaragua Canal.

CONGRESS MAY INTERFERE

 

Former Mayor Grace Alone Stands Sponsor

for New Syndicate. Waterway Must be

Comp etedfiin I‘ltree Years. Old Com-
pany Claims Latest Grant. Int’ringes on
' Its Rights.

New York, Nov. 2.—The capitalists
behind the new Nicaragua canal syndi-
cate,'who, through Edward F. Cragin
of Chicago and Edward Eyre of New
York, have obtained a. sweeping con-
cession from the Republic of Nicara-
gua, will not disclose their names.

Former Mayor Wm. R. Grace. how-
ever, stands sponsor for them in the
statement that behind the syndicate
there is an ample supply of money.

Mr. Collis P. Huntington, whose
name was yesterday mentioned as one
of the capitalists in the syndicate, de-
nies that he is in any way interested,
and expresses ,the opinion that if the
syndicate stops to count the cost its
members will not build. ‘1

The concession of the new syndicate
is to go into force when that of the
Maritime Canal Company shall expire,
in October of next year. '

The concession provides that the ca.-
nal shall be built in three years, and
the work of construction must begin
before April 10,1900. '

The profits of the canal are to go to
the new company for one hundred and
ninety-nine years, at the end of which
period half the net receipts will go to
the Republic of Nicaragua.

Should the waterway not be complet-
ed in three years the new canal com-
pany must connect the uncompleted
water route by railroad, so that there
will be a. continuous system of trans-
portation between the two oceans.

Mr. Hiram Hitchcock, proprietor of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, is president cf
the Maritime Canal Company, whose
concession expires on October 10 of next
year. This company is composed of
American business men who have a
charter from the United States and
concessions flom Costa Rica and Nic—
aragua.

They have already spent millions in
surveys, sounding, engineeiing plans.
telegraph lines, the building of wharves
and the clearing of land, the construc-
tion of buildings, the laying out of
a railroad and the opening of more
than a. mile of the canal.

There is a bill now in Congress to
give government aid to this enter—
prise. A commission of ergpeits ap—
pointed by the United States has re-
ported on the practicability of the
mute, and places the cost at $110, 00.0,-
000.

The concession, while it e: wires on
October 10 of next year, contains a re-
newal clause providing for indefinite

extension should the work at that pe-
‘riod be well under way. .

Should the bill now before Congress
pass at the December session, which
is likely, the canal would be well on
the way to completion in October of
next year, and the Cragin-Eyre conces-
sion wouldjfail. '

The select committee of the Senate
has reported'favorably the bill to aid
the Maritime Canal and also distinctly
recognizes in its report that the men
who now hold the concession have cer-

”tain- property rights which should be
gprotected by the United States in the
event of any attempt on the part. of
Nicaragua to deprive them of the priv-
ileges they have under the concession
granted.

 

DIolIegan Survivors,

New York, Nov. 2.—The Atlantic
transport liner Marquette, which ar-
rived here yesterday from London.
brought two of the survivors of the ill
fated Mohegan, Thomas Mitchell of
Boston and James Ward of Jersey
City, both cattlemen.

Ward says that Mitchell saved elevu
en lives, swimming to the wreck with
a line.

Mitchel] would say nothing about his
heroic work, but hurried home.

Those navigating the Mohegan paid
no attention to the rockets fired from
shore warning the vessel to keep of;
the coast, according to Ward’s state—
ment.

The life boat, in which he and 27
others escaped, was sinking, he de—
clares, when the coasz guard boat came
up.

There was no plug in the Mohegan’s
life boat and it would have sunk had
the occupants not bailed out the water
with their shoes.

Two Hallowe’en 'l‘raged ins,

Muskegon, Nov. 2.-—Leslic Parker. :1

Oregon Indian Trouble OVer.

Baker City, Ore., Nov. 2.———The Indi-
ans are. leaving Grant county as fast

expected.
*9 The coroner’s jury exhumed the body
of one of the Indians killed near Izee,

and were answered by the Indians op-
ening fire, killing one of their number.

ling five Indians.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AT JERUSALEM.
He Promises for Peace and Renews Bil
Vow to Serve the Lord.

Jerusalem, Nov. 1, delayed in trans-
mission. —Emperor William went to
Mount Zion this morning, where oc-
curred the ceremony of hoisting the
German and Turkish flags on a. piece
of ground upon which, according to
tradition, formerly stood the abode of
the Virgin Mary, and which the sultan
presented to the German emperor.

The latter subsequently formally
presented the ground'to the German
Catholics.

 

Jerusalem, Nov. 2.—Emperor William
has telegraphed to the pope, saying:
“I am happy to be ablg to inform your
holiness that, thanks to the benevo-
lent intervention of his majesty, the
sultan, who has not hesitated to give
me this proof of his personal friend-
ship, I have been able to acquire at
Jerusalem the abode of the Holy Vir-
gin. I decided to place this ground,
consecrated by so many pious memo-
ries, at the disposal of my Catholic
subjects. It rejoices my heart to be
able thus to prove how dear to me are
the religious interests of the Catholics
whom Divine Providence has placed in
my care. I beg your holiness to accept
the assurance of my sincere attach-
ment.”

The pope replied, thanking him and
expressing satisfaction at the gift, for
which he was sure the German Cath-
olics would be deeply grateful.

The emperor, at the close of the
ceremony of consecration of the Church
of the Redeemer here, read an address,
during which he said:

“From Jerusalem came the light‘ in
splendor from which the German na-
tion became great and glorious, and
what the Germanic peoples have. be-
come they became under the banner of
the cross, the emblem of self-sacrific-
ing charity. As nearly two thousand
years ago, so to- day shall I ring out
the cry, voicing my ardent hope, to all

——‘Peace on earth!’ ”’

He then renewed the vow of his an-
cestors, saying: “I and my house will
serve the Lord.” He then called upon
all present to make the same vow,
concluding with a prayer—“God grant
that confidence in the Almighty, broth-
erly love, resignation in suffering, and
efficient w 01k may remain the German
nation’s noblest ornament, and that
the spirit of-peacc may more and more

permeate and hollow the evangelical
H
church. _ . ”-11... tam nu!

_... The \Var Inquiry.

lVashington, Nov. 2.—-The members
of the war inquiry commission who did
not go to Lexington, Cincinnati and
other western cities, reached VVash—
ington yesterday and will hold a meet:—
ing to-day to arrange for the trip to
Camp Meade, near -Middletown, Pa.
where they expect to procure testi-
mony bearing upon the conduct of
Camps Alger and \‘i’ikoff.

Lexington, K32, Nov. 2.—Bcfore the
war inquiry commission yesterday,
General J. C. Bates testified ast o the
camps at Mobile and Chickamauga. He
went to see General Brooke regarding
the lack of equipments, clothing and
other supplies. He said:

“The day before we left Mobile we
got pretty well supplied. These were
supplies for recr Iits. At Santiago we
had bread and meat always. Montauk
Point was not the proper place for a
camp of sick soldiers at this time of
year. At Montauk Point I learned that
the Long Island Railroad had an ex-
tensive contract to haul the soldiers
to the city. I issued orders to allow
other railroads to come in and help
take off the sick.

“In Cuba medical supplies were wo-
fully short. The medical officers said
they could not get them.”

Paris Papers Think Spain Will
Break Off Negotiations.

NOT TO YIELD PHILIPPINES

 

\

They Persist Also in the Story that the
Cuban Debt Question “7135 Only Settle l
for the Time Spain “’1” Rather With-

draw Than Submit to Humilialing

Tex-us.

Paris, Nov. 2 .—The French papers de-
:ive their news of the work of tie
peace negotiations from Spanish sour—
ces, and, therefore, the morning papers
here are interesting, as indicating the
atmosphere in Spanish quarters.

It must be remembered that the
Spaniards have unconditionallyac cep—
ted the refusalo ft he United States to
assume the Cuban debt, and the Cuban
alticle is ready for the final treaty,
providing differences on the question
of the Philippines shall not prevent the
making of any treaty.

As the whole is composed of all its

parts, so must the Philippine question
be mutually agreed upon or none of
those questions previously agreed on
will find a place in the treaty.

This is all the provision or provision—
al understanding existent.

In view of the facts, then, the Paris
press shows ate ndency to confuse the
situation.

The Matin says: “It is well-under:
stood that the cession of Porto Rico
was tantamount to the payment of a
W at indemnity in cash, and entirely
need Spain from any subsequent rep-
ctition on the subject.”

Turing to Cuba, the Matin contin-
ues: “The Spaniards declined to con-
cur in separating the debt from the
pledge, the mortgage from the loan:
and as it was impossible to reach an
understanding, they asked that at
least the order of the protocol be in-
verted, and that the question (if the
Philippines be previously discussed.
that question possibly offering the
Americans an opportunity for tender—
ing some compensation for the- enor-
mous sacrifices they have forced upon
the cofiqucied.

“The Americans finally acceded to
the change, and Only asked the Span—
iards to accept provisionally the clau—
ses relating to the Cuban debt, with
the reservation that the acceptance
could be withdrawn if no agreement
was reached as to the Philippines.”

Referring to Monday’s meeting, the
Matin says: “The Spaniards said that
they would make their answer known
on Friday. But it is easy to foresee
what it will be—a refusal, precise and
formal. The Sphnish plenipotentiarics
have made up their minds, in the event
of the United States adverting to the
Pnhilippine proposition, to decline sign-

the act of peace, to break off the
negotiations and to call upon the civil-
ized nations to witness the abuse of
and theviol ation of the provisions set
feith in the Washington protocol.”

The Gaulois remarks: “The Span—
iards will never agree to abandon the
archipelago without compensation and
we believe the Americans intend to
suggest that they will assume the Phi—
lippine debt. W'e hope the negotiations
will not be broken, but Spain, it is
given out as certain, would take such
a course rather than submit to humili—

ating terms."

 

Tn Stamp Out. Yellow Fever.

Mexico City, Nov. 2.——The govern-

ports yellow fever can be stamped out.
Heavy northerly gales on the coast are
reported, and the health of the coast
cities has improved.

ing considered the best man to accom—
plish the work of sanitation.
