SOIL is FIRM ENOUGH
Foundation of Federal Building
viii Go Up on Original Sight
Business Notes.

II was definitely determined yester-
day by Structural Engineer Averill
and Superintendent Ash of the federal
building, that the proper method to
pursue in providing a firm foundation
for the structure of the United States
court house and postoffice would be
TO double the width of the footing
courses to thirteen feet on three sides
of the square so as to reduce the pres
sure of the subsoil. Authority has
been requested from the treasury de-
partment at Washington TO modify the
building plans in accordance with this
decision, and as soon as permission is
given. Contractor Campbell will COM
mence the work of laying the founda-
ton courses and walls.
After the fourteen-ton load had stood
through the night the foot beam IN
the soft south trench settled only an
inch and half. During the noon hour
one of the supporting stakes pulled
out and the load toppled over. How
ever, this was regarded as another fair
test
Superintendent Ash said yesterday
that even though the character of the
subsoil were softer, there would be no
likelihood of changing the building site.
for piles could be driven to support
the heavy walls.
Having completed the inspection
upon which he was detailed TO come
here, Mr.. Averill left last night for
Leadville to examine the subsoil Of
the federal building site at that place.

Detailed Account Received at the

tailed and official account of the ex-
act situation on the Isthmus Of Pana-
ma, as il stood on Aug. is, is con-
tanned in the following report just re-

Commander William P Potter of the
United States steamship Ranger,
which now lies at Panama:
Il have the honor to inform the de-
partment that no reliable information
has been received in regard to the re-
suits of operations at Aqua Dulce. 1t
is believed that the government forces
are surrounded and cannot hold out
much longer. In consequence of the
report that the revolutionists have
landed at San Carlos. about forty-five
miles from here, and intended to ad-
vance to Panama. l went down the
coast yesterday in company with the
consul general on the Panama Railway
company's tender Bolivar as far as
that point. but saw nothing to indi-
cate that such a landing had taken
place.
1.-THE authorities are very apprehens-
i've of an attack on Panama and have
very few troops TO defend the place,
and have no means of bringing more
from other points. The health of
Panama is in the same satisfactory
condition"
