W. W. Kimball recommends a plan for constructing a canal in Panama that will require the least amount of resources to protect and defend it from other countries. Kimball believes a canal in Nicaragua could be better because America would be able to have better control over it. He thinks it will be easier, diplomatically speaking, to build a canal there as well. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty has already made it easier to build a canal there than in Panama. He will always be available to give President Roosevelt opinions on the matter.

Montagu White is glad that Frederick Courteney Selous is answering Governor Roosevelt’s questions about “the South African difficulty.” White believes that American public opinion is growing in favor of the Boers, and that those who wish to preserve the special friendship with Great Britain should push for peace in order to prevent anti-British feeling. White thinks that if the Boers lose their independence, Britain will lose South Africa.
