CAaTHAeENA, New Grenada, March 25, 1916
Navaf Baa-English aggression on the Mosquito


Coasf-Progress of the Canal, &c. &c.


The United States schooner Flirt will leave this
port tomorrow for Norfolk. Last night we had
pleasant little dance on board this vessel. Some OF
the ladies Of the town graced the decks with their
presence; and the officers OF the English brg-oi-
war Sylla, now in the port, added to the gaiety and
amusements of the party. Capt. Watson, of the
Flrt, is prince In conducting such little frollcs.
The evening was delightful, as all evenings are III
tins climate al this season; and the return home al
midnight over the splendid h0rbor, with beautiful
moonlight view OF the picturesque city, prepared Us
for sound and sweet slumbers for the night.


The Sylla is destined for the Mosquito shore,
from which she has just returned, having conveyed
there crown and flag preparatory to the erection
of new throne in that savage region, thereby ex.
employing again the old rule, "that might makes
right" The Mosquito country, beyond all doubt,
IS part and parcel OF the republic Of New Grena-
da. England takes possession OF II, knowing that
this weak country has not the power ofresistance.
The Secretary ol Foreign Affairs, in his report TO
Congress, now IN session, publishes MS protest
against the usurpaton of England in this city, and
supports II with the history OF the Mosquito country
from the time OF s possession by the Spanlards But
what cares England for protests or rights


The election Tor President OF this Republic took
place in Congress on the first of this month"; and
resulted in electing General Thomas Cipriano de
Mosquera to that office There is now the appear
ance OF permanent peace in the country. The
elections have passed over with the utmost order
and decorum


The canal of the Dique, undertaken by G. M
TOtten, has been commenced with spirit. Mr.. I.
is engineer of science, and, having engaged
tractors from the United States. we look forward
to the completion of the work in two or three years
with certainty. This will be mine OF gold and
jewels to Carthagena. Mr.T deserves great credit
Tor his conduct thus far. His courage, skill, and
prudence, have overcome obstacles which we had
almost thought insurmountabe. What won't these
Yankees do when they take notion


Oae man-apparently alone and unaided-bids
fair to bring this city back to its former wealth and
Importance We have the utmost confidence IL
Mr.. T.'s ability, from what we have seen of him
here, and, from what we learn from his friends IL
the United States, think have every reason t.
depend entirely on his discretion and management
We understand he has written home tor more
contractors. and hope he will succeed in getting
men OF the same stamp OF character as himself
We want men of enterprise in our new Republic
Yankees-men of the present age. With such
characters to lead us, this could be of the fair
est, nob!est countries or the globe Send us your
