There are otlier uncertainties along
tho Panama route The Culebra cut
li a question of doubt with Its land
slides and creeping clays and Its In
durated clny that mclt3 in water
Thcro Is doubt as to whether a dam
at Alhajeula is necessary to control
the Hoods In tho Charges and to sup
ply the canal with water Impounded
there In reserve for the dry season
Whether tho Charges will repent tho
flootlo of 1879 and whether in such
an event it can bo chut out from tho
canal is a matter of douht Whether
any dam can stand such territorial flooiU
and escape tho fate of Johnstown and
Austin aro questions that only tho
Charges River will settle in the course
of time A safe harbor at Colon and
the safe passage of chips through a
submerged channel three and one half
miles long when the wind rises and
the tide is at ebb aro matters of doubt
The abandoned anchors in tho bay of
Colon left there by vessels that could
not wait long onouch to set them
aboard when northers drove heavy
seas the shallow bay are mute
witnesses to the reasons for such
doubts
AH these doubts and many others
that relate to the ccst of maintenance
and the time of transit of ships from
our Atlantic to our Pacific ports are
resolved in tno opinions of a great
number of engineers again3t the Pa
nama route 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
DG307O4 Insignificant when compar
ed wjth these uncertainties The Unit
ed States cannot afford to take such
large risks for a supposition gain of
si small a sum
The health of the Panama route
pnnnpt be classed with the matters
of doubt It s a Axed condition that
Is In constant warfare with human
life It depends upon natural condi
tions that are beyond remedy and
us u fatal impediment to a successful
gateway for the world it Is beyond
doubt It has been suggested that
when the natural causes are remoyed
Panama can be made as Immune from
yellow fever as Haana and Santiago
de Cuba appear to be But the causes
arc immovable The tides at the coast
of Cuba 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
tides rlso eighteen to twenty one feet
and when they go out they leave a
naked and vast inclined plane of many
square miles covered with mud and
ooze and sea sllmo in which shellfish
and sea animals abound to die and do
cay under a hot sun The average
width of this exposed area around the
Uuy and Quit of Panama jfi not less
than two miles and tho poisoned air
Infects all the coasts The true his
tory of the death rate at Panama was
never written It has been suppress
ed But we know that for centuries
plague has existed there claiming its
victims by tho thousands Yellow fe
ver Is Indigenous at Panama and al
ways must bo Along the Nicaragua
lino no such conditions obtain It Is
a salubrious and healthful country
Our own commission has reported
most emphatically upon this point Tho
myriads of people of coming genera
tions that will pass through a canal
piercing the American isthmus will
liavo the rot to reproacl us It we
choose for them a routo tliat antmO
has made free from such dangers
Among the many and controlling
advantages which the Nicaragua routo
possesses over the Panama route is
the shorter coast lino which the form
er elves us Official figures prepared
by tlje Nayy Jjepartiijont show that If
tho Oregon on West bad been able Iq
use tho Panama Canal she would have
bpc ji saved forty nine days time but
If she had been ablo to ubp tle Nicara
