SLIDE TIES UP THE CANAL
Only Light Draft Ships Can Pass at
Panama
Panama, March 6. The Panama
Canal has been closed to all except
the lighter draft ships by a rapid
slide of earth from the top of the
Culebra Cut at a point north of Gold
Hill. A further s,yde is probable, but
no serious tie-up is expected.
The present channel is sufficient for
navigation by ships with a draft of
twenty- feet. At one point the pi'es
ent channel is very narrow. It is not
likely that ships of 30-foot draft will
be able to pass through the canal un
til the middle of next week.
