panama lies much better than does
Colon, being erected upon volcanic
rock, having good natural drainage.
The accumulated filth of the city is
largely washed away by the heavy
rains. Many of the buildings are, to
be sure, infected with the germs OF
yellow fever smallpox and other IN
fictitious diseases; but this is a condl-
ton which can be easily remedied. l
should, in fact, say that in the city
of Panama and in the third division
of the isthmus there are presented no
serious problems of sanitary engl-
neering, sewerage system, pure
water and plenty of it and a vigorous
disinfection of all the houses being all
that will be required.
my Investigations here have con-
WINGED me that the sanitary question,
as it is presented on the isthmus, is
not more stubborn than other similar
problems with which the army has
dealt in the last five years. Manila was
in a worse condition when we occu-
pied that city than is Panama to-day.
and what we did there and in Havana
has given us an experience upon which
we can rely in dealing with the stu
alton here. The work of establishing
good sanitary conditions here is moth
ing more serious than a question of
money. We know just what should
be done and how to do it, and, with
adequate allowances, the work can be
done speedily and effectively-that 1t
should be done and carried to compile
ton before any active effort is made
to dig the canal is apparent. For to
send men from Northern climates to
work in this country, with it in its
present state, would be heinous.
Must Educate the People.
Far more serious than making this
country sanitary, and, therefore, habi-
table will be the task of compelling
the people now here, and the labor tc
be imported for the canal construction
to avail themselves of the sanitary
facilities we shall provide, and to make

PANAMA'S HEALTH PROBLEM
Outline of Plan for Solving II.
BY MERRILL A. TEAGUE
Special Correspondent of the Morning News

Col R. P, Dec. 27.-The first, and
actually the greatest, problem which
will confront the United States when
1t sets out in earnest on the isthmian
canal problem will be that OF making
the is,hmus habitable by white men.
1t is to this work that the United
States must devote itself for weeks
and months before any real attempt
is made to cut the waterway and it is
a work which will call for the expendi-
ture of millions in money. Should this
feature of the isthmian problem be in
any way neglected our government
would be as guilty as if it were to
send large bodies of men through a
slaughterhouse to open graves. That
the authorities at Washington realize
the Importance of giving attention
first to the sanitary aspect Of this
problem is demonstrated by the fact
that it has already caused complete
sanitary survey of the canal zone and
all contiguous territory to be made by
experts.
Col William Murray Black, u. S. A.,
who is representing the United States
government on the work now in pro-
gress on the great Culebra cut, and
who, with his own hands, raised the
first Panamaian flag ever flung to the
breezes in this city, is the man who
cleaned up Havana" He was in full
charge of the sanitary work in the
Cuban capital during the American
military occupation, with what praise
worthy results everybody knows. HaV-
ana having under his direction been
transformed from a pesthole into a
delightful winter health resort. Col.
Black has now been stationed here for
months, and while his work has been
purely of an engineering quality, he
has made a close study of isthman
sanitary conditions and requirements.
On one of the earliest steamers leav-
ing New York after the establishment
of the new republic Surgeon Major
Guy l.. Edie, United States army, was
a passenger for the isthTnus. Dr. Edie
was the man in charge of the sani-
tary work in Manila during the Amer
lean military occupation of the Philip
pine metropolis, and his work there
was as successful as was that done
by Col Black in Havana. DR.. Eide
has just sailed from the isthmus for
the states, having executed his mis-
sion, which was, by direction of the
War Department TO thoroughly study
the problem of sanitation on the 18TH
mus and to report to the department
exactly what it will be necessary for
the United States to do in order
to make this Mt place for white men
to live in.

URGES PEACE IN CHINA.
United States Trade Would Be Hurt
 bv War.


 Washington, Jan. 4.-Reports of unrest in China and indications that the PeSin government Is inclined to join hands with Tokio in the event of war between Rus sia and Japan, have been received at the State Department with regret.
 The possibility of China becoming in- volved in such a conflict presents, 1t Is said, a very grave menace to American trade and the officials of the Washington government are disposed to bring to bear all the legitimate moral pressure at their command both at St. Petersburg and at Pekin to preserve peace between Russia and China even if war between Russia and Japan cannot be averted.
 Although no direct representations have reached the State Department recently from Pekin on the subject the statement is made that the United States will gladly support any proposition coming from St. Petersburg or Pekih looking to a refer ence of the Manchurian question to The Hague tribunal for settlement The Washington government sees nothing in this problem which could not be carried to The Hague.
 Unofficially our government has learned that China is disposed to refer the Man churian question to The Hague and agree not to mix in a war. between Russia and Japan,

At all times he declared the county officials had the mat ter well in hand, there was never a danger of lynching or of riot and the sending of militia into Wilcox which he understood had been talked of seemed to him super nuous in the last degree. He had never apprehended trouble. fs
 The aplication for a writ of habeas corpus which was to have become before Judge James T. Beck of the Probate Court tomorrow will 1t Is understood be abandoned in view of the immediate con- vention of the Circuit Court. The defen- dants and their counsel have expressed themselves as desirous of speedy trial and it is taken that the meeting of the court this week will make the proceeding for a writ of habeas corpus unnecessary.
 The prisoners when interviewed today seemed in fine spirits and said they were confident of acquittai. They would make no statement bey0nd this.
 Convention of Court.
 The convention of the Circuit Court to- day made little stir in the county. The court room in Camden was fairly we'll filled with spectators. some of whom had come from Pineapple when the court was called to order. Judge Moore pre- sided with Solicitor ouaries representing the State and Messrs Miller and Miller and Messrs Jones and Jones counsel for the defendants present. Judge Moore drew the jurfes.

Jenkins, W. H. Holt. A venire of thirty was drawn for the pettit juries which were summoned to meet Thursday morning. Court then took adjournment. It is possible that if indictments are returned by the grand jury the case may be called in court Thursday or Friday. but it is expected that 1t will hardly come to trial before Monday of next week.

Paris, Jan. 4.-The Japanese legation here understands that the two warships purchased by Japan from Argentina will sail for the Far East in the latter part of January. No objection will be raised by Japan, it Is said, to the dispatch of the Bizerta division of Russian warships to China, the naval authorities at Tokio having considered that the ships form part of the Russian fleet in the Far East and having made preparations accord ingly.

Faith and Fact.

Faith is one thing and fact is another, it sometimes takes any amount of faith to produce one fact. Years of earnest work and faith have produced one fact about medi- cine that is deserving of mention here. If people who are troubled with general weakness through overwork, dissipation or exposure can get remedy that will make rich red blood from the food they eat, their return to health is as- sured. Good blood is the life of the body as we'll as the nerves. Weak, sickly, pale people who suffer with indigestion, dyspepsia, sick head ache, loss of strength and ambition, having dizzy spells and always tired, can be cured sound and we'll with Dr. Gunn's Blood and Nerve Tonic. Sold by druggists for 75c. per box, or 3 boxes for $2. This Tonic acts in a common sense way, curing disease by giving strength to resist it.

The Val Verde smelter will be re- built immediately, better than ever. There is 25O-ton smelter on the road now that will be installed and in running order within the next sixty days, unless some unlocked for delay occurs.
