ARTIFICIAL HARBORS, The Nicaraguan route requires artificial har- bors, both on the Atlantic and the Pacific. Grey- town is at present blockaded by a huge sandbar, and Brito, the proposed harbor on the Pacific side, is merely an indentation in the const. Ten millions of dollars would probably bring about the desired result 80 far as harbors are concerued. WATER SUPPLY. Tne Nicaragua Canal route has a magnificent water supply from the lake, and were the harnor diMculties overcome little remains to be done to complete one of the greatest projects of the pres- ent century. It seems that while the experts witnessed varied scenes im the barren region of Darien, through which the route proposed by Commander Seitridge takes its course, the opportunities afforded for observation were narrowed to a considerable ex- tent, since the suryeys were all made along the rivers and not on land. Commander Selfridge, however, claims that while the officers under bis command made simply a reconnoissance, the char- acter of the country through which his supposed line runs can readily be inferred, MORE ACCURATE ESTIMATES NEEDED. While the engineers thoroughly appreciate the efforts of Commander Selfridge, who has done much to Gevelop the comparatively unknown re- gion of Darien, they consider that his route re- quires more accurate estimates, in order to bring about a Jair determination of tts merits, Despite al the hardslops of the expedition there were tew cases of sickness, ana altogether the objects of the undertaking were succeasiully carrted out.
