PANAMA CANAL TROUBLES.
A Gloomy state OF Affairs on the 18TH
mus-Unemployed Workmen.

muo-O WofkHnoh.
PANAMA, March l6.-The condition of af-
fairs on the isthmus has been critical for
some weeks past, as already reported, and
everything has worn agloomy aspect. Thou
sands Of men were thrown out Of work, and
similar results ensued TO those anywhere in
the world when work stops and thousands Of
men are left with their hands In pockets
which contain no money. Fortunately en-
igration on an extensive scale has ensued,
and IL is expected before a month will have
elapsed at least 5000 men will have been
sent hence.
Commercial matters all over the isthmus
are in n bad condition and there is little bus
iness doing. The Colon storekeepers and
dealers have united in p%etitioning for a re-
duction OF all kinds Of taxes owing 10 the
complete stoppage of trade in the city. In
the city OF Panama things are much In the
same condition. A meeting has been held
at which Panamaians, foreigners of differ
ent nationalitics alike, spoke, and n decision
was reached that the supreme government
be petitioned 10 reduce the commercial con-
tribution, which Is enormously high as com
pared with the amount Of business which Is
being done. An Instance OF the condition OF
afniis has been given by Gov Aycardi, who
has issued n decree su%spending payment OF
the debt of the former state OF Panama,
aud eflccting other economies. Gov. Aycar-
III states that these measures have been
adopted owing to the suspension OF work on
the canal having reduced the receipts OF the
government which will be further dimin-
ishcd owing 10 the receipts from taxes SINH
larry falling Off
In consequence of the collapse OF the local
freight and passenger traffic on the Panama
Railroad, the number OF employees has been
considerably reduced. At present only two
passenger aud two freight trains cross the
line daily from either end. This reduction
in traffic Is, of couisA due to the stoppagc Of
canal work.
