Scruggs to Hamilton Fish, July 17, 1875
No. 48. Mr. Scruggs to Mr. Fish.
Legation of the United States, Bogota, July 17, 1875. (Received September 10.)
No. 114.]
Sir: I inclose herewith, for the information of the Department, a printed copy of a translation from Spanish to English of an elaborate and somewhat curious report made to the last Colombian Congress on the subject of the proposed interoceanic ship-canal.
Although this report is evidently fanciful in many respects, it is, nevertheless, interesting as showing the history of the proposition to unite the two oceans by water communication, and besides contains some statements which are conceived to be of interest in the United States.
I have, &c.,
WILLIAM L. SCRUGGS.
