Mr. Egan to Mr. Blaine.

No. 189.]

Sir: I beg to say that all of the telegrams which have reached me recently by way of Europe and the transandine route have arrived in such an unintelligible condition that I have been obliged to have them repeated, in some cases two and three times.

The Central and South American Company will be found much more expeditious, cheaper, and more correct.

I have, etc.,

Patrick Egan.
