A CANAL REPORT SOON
Nicaragua Commission to Submit -
Statement to the President.
ESTIMATE 0N FOUR ROUTES
The Difficult Points in the lilaritime Cana.‘
Cornpany’s Line Are to Be Avoided
The Work Can be Completed in Si:
Years.
, Washington, D. 0., Dec. 12.—It is un-
derstood that the Nicaragua canal
commission is preparing a preliminary
report of its work, which it will sub-
mit to the president, probably in a few
days.
_This report will be immediately pre-
sented rto Congress and will contain
facts and figures which will be of great
value in connection with the consid-
eration of government a‘id for the pro-
posed water way.
The repogt will submit estimates for
four routes and canals with different
numbers of locks. The variation in the
route lies on the eastern side of the
lake, it being necessary from the topo-
graphical character of the country to
adopt the Maritime Canal Company’s
route from Brito to the lake, and
through the lake to the San Juan
river.
An important feature of the com-
mission’s report will be (the recommen-
dations it Will make to avoid the Ochoa
dam and San Francisco basin.
It will be recalled that the Ludlow
board suggested that the Ochoa dam
problem was the greatest that would
be met, but in the opinion of members
of the present commission the San
Francisco basin contains much more
serious difiiculties.
The commission has, therefore, con-
sldered the practicability of avoiding
the Ochoa dam and San Francisco has
sin, and has arrived at the conclusion
rthat it would be cheaper or at least
more advantageous to run the canal
around Ochoa and the San Francisco
basin, and thus avoid the dangers that
exist at these two points.
The commission will find the canal
practicable in all its details. Even the
Ochoa dam and San Francisco divide
can be crossed, though at heavy ex—
pense. ,
Estimates are submitted for a canal
of thirty feet depth. No width is men-
tioned, but the canal in some places
will be one hundred feet wide and in
others it will be greater, dependent of
course on the nature of the soil and
the topography of the country through
which it runs.
The commission will further find that
the canal can be built in six years.
The final estimates as to cost have
not yet been fully determined, but it
is thought that the estimates on each
of the four lines will not be less than
$100,000,000, and will range above that
figure, considerably, though $115,000,001?
is given as the mean.
Ilcinfm-cements for Dewey.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 12.——Admiro
al Dewey’s fleet will be strengthened
shortly by the addition of some serv-
iceable gunboats.
The Bennington, now at Honolulu,
has been ordered to proceed to Guam
.in the Ladrone group and make a sur-
vey of the harbor with a view to the
establishment there of a naval station.
This done, she will jdin Dewey’s fleet.
By that \time, or before the Helena
will have arrved at Manila. and the
Concord and the Petrel, now cruising
around in Chinese waters, will have
returned, and altogether the Admiral
will have a sufficient force of small
vessels under his command to carry
out 'the president's Dolley respecting
the Philippines, and to bring into sub-
mission ariy of the islanders who may
prove refractory, and to release any
Spanish prisoners held in confinement
by the insurgents.
The navy department is now con-
vinced that it will not be practicable
to carry out a project it had enter~
tained at one time, looking to a con-
siderable reduction of the United
States naval force on thg Asiatic sta-
tion and has settled down to the con-
viction that the fleet must rather be
considerably reinforced :if the attempt
is to be made to maintain law and or—
der in the 1,200 Philippine islands, and
still afford proper protection to the
important interests of the Unite-:1
States along the great Asiatic coast
line. 1. ‘
The combined naval forces of‘ Great
Britain and the United States in theSn
waters will largely exceed those of
any other two nations in that quarter
of the world.
Bryan Ready to Quit.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 12.-—Colonel Vv’il—
l-iam Jennings Bryan of the Third Ne-
braska regiment has either forwarded
his resignation to Washington or is
about to do so.
Of this there seems to be no doubt.
Saturday he called upon General Lee,
commander of the Sevenlth corps, and
General Keifer, commander of the
Second division of the corps, of which :
Colonel Bryan’s regiment is a. part,3
and is understood to have announced '
his intention of quitting the service.
General Lee is to sail for Cuba on the
transport to—day and Colonel Bryan is
believed to have hastened his decision
his
corps commander with his intention
prior to his departure for the island.
Neither of the commanding generals
would discuss 'the matter and referred ;
to Colonel Bryan as the source to get
any news.
Scene. in Hungary’s Diet.
Budapest, Dec. 12.—There were stor-
my scenes in the lower house of the
Diet Saturday, and the session was
suspended after a quarter of an hour
owing to the opposition’ s uproar.
On the resumption of business Baron i
Banffy, the premier, rose to speak, and '
an opposition member -n'amed Kubik'
rushed at him. i
The supporters of the premier clus- (
tered ardund him and all present in
the house shouted and gest‘lculated. I
The premier, however, remained ;
calm, and did not move amidst the'
clamor until Kubik had dlsclaimed
any intention of attacking him.
After this the premier announced!
that, owing to the illness of the presi-
dent and vice president of the house,
he had consulted with the king and;
was awaiting his decision as to the ad- l
journment of the house.

'TO TUNNEL A MOUNTAIN.
Coal Rood Will be Built from the Lulu
wanna. River to the Hudson.
Port Jervis, N. Y., Dec. 12.—Resl-
dents along the Delaware and Hudson
canal who were depressed over the -'
proposed abandonment of this coal
carrying waterway, are encourag‘ed'by
the news of the great railroad project
of the Scranton, Honesdale and East-
ern Railway to itunnel the Mooslc
mountain, 3. distance of one and three-
quarter miles, and construct a coal
road from the Lackawanna river to
the Hudson.
The road will be 138 miles long and
will be \the only railroad the grades of
which will permit the hauling of a long
_.train of coal cars from the coal regions
to theti de
land states
The road
water or to the New Eng-
without breaking bulk.
will be down grade all the
way. It is proposed to reduce greatly
the selling price of coal to dealers
along the Hudson river, and all the
towns along the route will be benefited
by the cheaper rates and railroad fa-
cilities. '
The Scranton, Honesdale and East-
ern R9 ilroad will have a capitalization
of nine million dollars and is now be-
ing organized under the laws of Penn-
sylvania. The same corporation will
organize under the laws of New ork

Chicago firm from Specifications of the
London Railway Construction Com-
pany, limited. The tunnel will be 8,:
642 feet long and fourteen feet high,
with a. width of fourteen feet.
It is proposed to complete the tun-
nel within one year from January 1,

foot.
Work will be commenced simultane-
ously at both ends. The number 01
workmen required will be' four hun-
dred. Twenty years ago the cost 01‘

TELEGRARH LINES IN CUBA.
Gen. Greely Now Has a Large Forceof
Men Putting Up Wires.
Washington, D. 0., Dec. 12.—General
Greely of the signal corps is preparing
for a. practical experiment in the gov-
ernment operation of the telegraph,
and to this end Colonel Dunwoody, one
of the most experienced and scientific
officers in this branch bf the service,
has been ordered to Cuba to take
charge of the extensive network of tel-
egraph lines on the island.
He will leave next Wednesday and
will make his headquarters at Havana.
There are about two thousand miles 01
telegraph connecting the various main
points to the island all owned by Spain
and to be left behind when the evacu-
ation is completed.
Eventually :it is presumed these lines
will belong to the Cuban government,
but during the United States’ military
control of the island these two thous-
and miles of wire must be cared for
and operated by the United States
f01ces.
& The regulai force of the signal ser-
vice will conduct the skilled wo ork of
opeiating the lines and Cubans em-
ployed on the rough work of repair
and construct-ion.
Several lines have been construct-
,ed‘ in Santiago province and Pinar del
Rio,;and a detachment is now at work
building a lip e from Puerto Principe
to the coast. There are companies of
signal service men at Santiago. Puertc.
Principaéinar del Rio and Havana.
but this ce will have to be consid-
erably augmented when all the lines
of the island come into the control of
this government.
