ABOUT NICARAGUA.
Everybody seems to be asking, In
view of the present developments,
what, exactly, is Nicaragua, how large
la It, what are Its resources, commerce
and climate? Some interesting com
parisons and facts, prepared by the
International bureau of American Re
publics, will help to answer these
pertinent natural questions.
There la only four square miles dif
ference between the area of Nicaragua
CSl tfti State of New York. Take
CaBMctfcut out of New England and
ESamgaa would cover the rest of
it. It is approximately one half the
slite of the state of Washington. To be
exact, it covers 49,200 square miles. It
bus a remarkable extent of coast line
on two oceans. On the Caribbean it
roaches nearly SOO miles north "and
south nntl on the Pacific It extends
for about 225 miles. Its greatest width
Is 275 mllos, or approximately the
distance from Washington to New
York. Its least width is 125 miles or
approximately the distance from Chl
fnpn to the Mississippi river.
There are only about 600.000 peo
ple within Its limits. Of these flve
slxths are upon the Pacific or western
side. The eastern, or Caribbean side
lies low and Is drained by many riv
ers. The only industry of this side of
Nicaragua is the growing of bananas.
The principal town here is that of
Blueflelils. a little south of the center
and having a population of some five
thousands Inhabitants. It is 1.186
miles from New Orleans and 310 from
Colon. The only other important rlace
on this coast is Oreytown at the south
ern point with a population of about
two thousand, lytng near the mouth
of the Sun Juan river which was to
have been the course of th Isthmian
Cannl if built through 'Nicaragua, and
Cape (Sniclas a. Dlos. at the extreme
or.hrn yo'.nl .!ta me W people
jlo. On the populated Pacific slope
the chief cities are .Loon, the historic
and Interesting old capital, with sixty
thousand Inhabitants; Managua, the
present capital with 10.000; MataRaUia
with 16,000; Granada, with 12,000 ana
to 10,000. The principal port on the ?
jtbviuc Biue ia ionnio, near tne noth-,
" wuur wuu oniy aroui z.uvu pco- 4
pie. At the southern end is tbe harbor
of San Juan del Sur. . .
There is one railroad in Nicaragua
which starts at Corinto and runs to
Managua and thence across to Gran
ada on lake Nicaragua, which is the
largest inland body of water in all
Latin America. If one wishes to go
to Nicaragua he can take steamer 0
the Atlantic side from New ' York,
New Orleans or Mobile. Going via the
Pacific he will take steamer from San
Francisco or from coast points from
other countries. Perhaps the quickest
way to reach it today is either through
New Mexico by rail and. by .steamer
from Sallna Cruz to Corinto, or by
steamer from New Orleans direct to
niueflelds. The latter journey gener
ally takes about four days. If, how
ever one lands on the east coast it Is
practically impossible to go to 'the
west coast on account of the lack of
railroads and .other facilities. A com
mon way. to get to the west coast is
via Panama and the Pacific side.
Nicaragua has a President, a Cabi
net with five ministers or secretaries,
thirteen departments or state, and five
divisions like our . territories. Its
national assembly conalfte cf etlz
one chamber which U now ba

le given to a romantic Irish comedy
drama, in which the clever comedian
