COLON, Colombia, July 2b-Tho situa-
tion is becoming worse. The strike of the
wharf and ship laborers, which commenced
on July II, and which later extended to
the switohmen and others on the railroad
continues. All the steamers at Panama
are idle, and all business is paralyzed. If
labor is not procured promptly the tran
sit of the isthmus will be threatened. In
a place such as this, where thirty odd
steamers arrive every month, this COM
plete stoppage of business is a very serious
matter to business men here, as well as
to the Panama railroad.
