From Hama to Duefells by the steamer ( ( only route ) requires eIght imours , and from llama per steamship to New Orleans Is four and a hair to five da's. The go\'ernnent of Nicaragua has not yet opened this line to the public ; but will most lke ! do so In a few days. I Is possible , however , that this telegraph line . built by natvs amid ] ext ndell through the green and frequenty wet folnge of trees will be unrelable , as the telegraph line constructed three year ago has been , from San Juan del Norte westwarlly , near the canal route In con- necton with the National . telegraph lnes In western Nicaragua. A South Dakota company , represented by Mr. J.

The contract Is 10 twenty ) 'ear the South Da- Iwta company to receive about 62.0 acres oC land , but the ship Is to be used excu- sively by the govrnment of Nicaragua whenever It deires to do so , and In the event of loss while In the governnment's hands the compan Is to receive .000 acres additional of lands , all subject to the approval - pro\'al of the next congress of Nicaragua , which Is to meet In January next.

At this date . July 20. time results are not known here. The talc and complaint of the Indians Is that the Virgin Mary , recently In friendship to the Indians , Inrorme ( some of their prln- clplI men and women "that the great spirit intended to visit that section of the country I with a series oC severe disasters , intended to punish the occupIers of those lands , until fourteen yean ago owned by the Indians , and that the Indians must assemble at the parochial - chial churc1es frequenty and attend mass , " The ultimate cause of this perturbed condl- lon Is that unti , say 1889. their woods con- tamed wild game and fruits enough to feed them without work. Now all those lands are cattle haciendas , coffee estates or cocoa es- bites , and new all the Indians have been tempted by small sums oC money , $10 to $20 , under the laws of Nicaragua , to sell their labor a.l ] that of theIr wives and children , and are forced b ) civil and mitary authori- ties of Nicaragua to work In an effort to comply with their labor obligations.

Tb report Is lengthy and gives a detailed account of the troubles , corroborating time AssocIated press reports. Dr. EndIcott went to China Cram Winnipeg two years ago , being rent by the Canadian American Missionary soclet ) On May 26 the day before thc outbreak In Cheng-Tu , he , together wIth his wife , Ur. Hal and Dr flare , left Cheng.Tu for Kia- Tong , 120 miles away. They did not learn of the trouble until June I , when several boat- loads of the Cheng-Tu mob went to Ka- Tung and began inciting trouble. As the am- cals refused to afford any protection , the party went down the river whim numerous other missionaries to Shanghai , where 1)r. Endicott's report was finished three weeks ago. Ur. Endicott's conclusona : are as follows - lows : . "The history of pat rlohl does not encour- age us to hope for much In ( he way of dIscov- ) erIng the real origin of thue , but the can- elusion Is forced upon lS thaI the highest officials were In sympathy with the rioters.

The viceroy La chiefly responsible for the riots lie Is known to be anti-foreign. " The report states that a CrIss has been reached In which missionarIes should change their policy , and he thinks Jhe Mandarins shoull be made to unlerstan ( ] that they must treat American , British ana other natbns with respect and afford them protection , that unless this Is done the outook for the mis- sionarIe In the Interior of China will be lark Indeed. concludes "A - lie : mooney compensa- ton for the loss of property Is not imfclent to compensate for thLs.
