ST. LOUIS, Nov. MAX Reber, a

says that the work upon the canal from

ed into the interior about thirteen and

A railroad running ten miles into the
country has been built by the company
from Greytown through the swamps to
the divide cut for transporting its men
and material 1t is built entirely upon
the corduroy pontoons of felled tree
logs. The work at the rock divide cut
is the most difficult of all, as it is
through the solid rock. The balance of
the construction will be comparatively
easy to the Pacific coast and will be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
The canal will be completed and open
for traffic in the next four years.

DEFECT IN THE CRUISER MAINE,
A Flaw Discovered That VIII Cause
Great Delay and Expense.
NEW YoRE, Nov. IA defect has
been discovered in the armored cruiser
Maine, which is to be launched in few
days, so serious that il will take months
of time and thousands Of dollars to re-
pair it. A hole three quarters of an
inch in diameter has been discovered on
the inside of the port shafts strut
hanger. A shaft strut is a heavy cast,
ing with two arms meeting at an angle,
at the apex of which is a big aperture
bored out to admit the ponderous pro.
peller shaft The ends of the arms are
securely riveted to the lower side of the
stern of the ship, the purpose served by
the whole arrangement being to carry
the weight of the propeller shaft. which
extends from the BODY of the ship and
the screw at the end Of the shaft, it is
highly important that the steel of this
brace, which itself weighs several tons,
should be entirely free from flaw owing
to the weight it is required to carry and
the great probability Of disastrous re-
suits should it break and permit the ac-
tion Of the screw to he deranged The
hole was made by drill and entends a
foot into the arm itself, IN which the
drill was driven with little or no diff
entity. This fact was enough to con
vince inspectors, who had been sent
posthaste from Washington for the pur-.
pose, that the casting must be removed,
notwithstanding the enormous expense
and long delay that must attend such a
change. sa
