Continued from lsl pajc
not exceed G000000 Wo nro asked
to stake altogether too much upon the
ilnm at Dolilo
There are other uncertainties along
tlio Panama loute The Culchra cut
ia a question of doubt with its land
slides and creeping clays and its In
duratcd clay that melt3 In water
Thejo is doubt as to whether a dam
at Alhajoula Is necessary to control
the floods in the Charges and to sup
ply the canal with water Impounded
there in reserve for the dry season
Whether the Charges will repeat the
floods of 1870 and whether In such
an event It can bo chut out from the
canal is a matter of dout Whether
any dam can stand such terrltoi lal floods
and escape the fate of Johnstown and
Austin are questions that only the
Charges River will settle In the course
of time A safe haibor at Colon and
the safe passage of chips through a
submerged channel three and one half
miles long vhen the wind rises and
the tide is at ebb are matters of doubt
The abandoned anchors In tho bay of
Colon left there by vessels that could
not wait long enough to set them
aboard When northers drove heavy
seas the shallow Lay are mute
witnesses to the reasono for such
doubts
AH these doubts and many others
that l elate to the cost of maintenance
and the time of transit of ships from
our Atlantic to our Pacific poits are
lcsolved In tno opinions of a great
number of engineers against the Pa
nama loute These doubts cannot be
removed nor compensated for foy any
sum of money saved in the estimates
for a canal Especially Is the sum of
GG30704 Insignificant when compar
ed wjth these uncertainties Tho Unit
ed States cannot afford to take such
large ilsks for a supposition gain of
si small a sum
The health of the Panama route
cannot foe classed with the matters
of doubt It Is a Axed condition that
is in constant warfare with human
life It depends upon natural condi
tions that are beyond remedy and
us it fatal impediment to a successful
gateway for the world It is beyond
doubt It has been suggested that
whon the natural causes are remoyed
Panama can bo made as Immune from
yellow fever as Haana and Santiago
de Cuba appear to be But the causes
are immovable The tides at the coast
of ClilM rise to the height of from
twenty to thirty six Inches and leave
very small margins of sea bottom
vhn they ebb But at Panama the
tidet risp eighteen to twenty one feot
and when they go out they leave a
naked and vast Inclined plane of many
square miles covered with mud and
ooze and sea slime In which shellfish
and sea animals abound to die and du
cay under a hot sun The average
width of this exposed area around tho
Uay and Quit of Panama is not less
than two miles and the poisoned air
Infects all the coasts The true his
tory of the death rate at Panama was
never written It has been suppiess
ed But we know that for centuries
plague has existed there claiming Its
victims by the thousands Yellow fe
ver Is Indigenous at Panama and al
ways must be Along the Nicaragua
lino no such conditions obtain It Is
a salubrious and healthful country
Our own commission has reported
most emphatically iipon this point The
myriads of people of coming genera
tions that will pass through a canal
piercing tho American Isthmus will
have the right to reproach us It we
choose for them a routo that anturo
has made fioe from such dangeis
Among the many and controlling
advantages which the Nicaragua routo
possesses over the Panama route Is
tlo shortor coast lino which the form
er gives us Official flgiues propared
by the Nayy llepaitiuent sljow that If
the Oregon on West had been able to
use the Panama Canal she would have
bpen sayed fpity nlno days time but
if she had been ablo to isp tlvo Nlcarn
gua Canal sho would have saved fifty
ono dayo time Tho diffeienco n cost

of the Nicaragua louto over tho Pana

fact that on account of tho calms in
