CANAL WORK SOON.
Uncle Sam Ready to Push the Great
Commercial Enterprise.
Yankee Methods'' Are tn Prevail, Even In
Sanitation-Two Immense Engineering
Eeats Must he PERFORMED Machin-
cry ON the Ground.

Washington, March 23.-An eyes
| will soon be turned toward Colomb i;i,
| watching developments in that coun-
| try in connection with the ratifica-
ton of the Panama canal treaty. The
United States government is ready
| with the cash, the men, the plans,
and all that is needful to commence
work on the canal when the diplomat
ic negotiations are concluded and the
title deeds passed.
All the work will be done under the
direction of the canal commission and
the president of the United States.
There will be no delay in commencing
actual work. The canal has been
commenced, and a portion of the
work materially progressed. Machin-
cry to the value of several million
dollars already is installed, and it will
| simply be question of putting new
men in control.
But the very first thing that Uncle
Sam will do in the way of actual work
will be to -"clean up the isthmus," as
one official expressed it. That will
be an important task-to improve the
sanitary condition and make the place
fit for northern men to live in and
work in.
Go, eminent ownership of railroads
will be realized on the isthmus. The
United States will operate and own
the Panama railroad, as well as some
steamships connecting Herewith
There will be large signs at appropri
ate intervals along the railway war;
ing the Central American re rolution
lists to look out for the cars. The
habit of the Colombian dictators of
holding up trains will be promptly
discontinued. There will be no daily.
ing with the switch in the future.
Yankee ingenuity and determine.
ton will be brought into full play in
the construction of the great work.
Two immense engineering feats are
to be performed. The most monstrous
cut" known to engineering will be
made on the isthmus when the canal
will be dug through a hill 800 feet
high and half a mile long. Another
great work will be the construction
of the Bahio dam. They will have
to go down 12O feet for foundation,
and the dam will be 22O feet from top
to bottom, and half mile long. All
of these immense projects will re.
quire men and machinery, and mate.
rial, world without end. The men
will have to be fed and clothed and
doctored, and all of that will maxi
business good for somebody.
