SANITARY CONDITIONS BAD.
The Panama Canal Place Of Much
Sickness,

Washington, u. c., Feb. 29.-Sani-
tary conditions at Colon. Panama, and
along the route of the Panama canal
are the subject of an exhaustive report
made by Surgeon ]. C. Perry, OF the
United States public health and ma
rine hospital service. The report is
anything but encouraging for those
who will be engaged in constructing
the big waterway. as at Colon and
Panama and along the route the land
is low and swampy. the climate Is de-
cidedly enervating. malarial fever Of
the most pernicious type exists. and
tuberculosis. smallpox and yellow fe
yer are quite common.
These unfavorable conditions can be
improved. according to Surgeon Perry.
The island on which Colon is situated
is only few feet above the level OF
the sea. and may be divided into two
portions. That occupied by the build
ings of the Panama Railroad and Ca
nal Company comprises narrow strip
along the shores of the bay. and has
been filed in so that this section is
dry. The rest OF the island, portion
of which is occupied by the town prop
er. is low and swampy. the houses be-
ing built in swamp which Is covered
with water during the rainy season.
The streets are macadamized and in
fair condition, and are higher than the
lots on which the houses are built.
Water stands in stagnant pools I'M
der two-thirds Of the houses during the
rainy season. and even during the dry
season there are many pools of stag
nant water. An unoccupied portion of
the island is a primitive swamp, COW
cred with dense TROPICAL vegetation
and stagnant water. furnishing adj
mirable breeding places for millions of
mosquitoes. The water supply is de-
rived from two sources-rain water
collected in cisterns and barrels ana

number OF years. antedating in Its
commencement the incumbency OF the
present commissioner acknowledged
that, he had no personal experience
upon the subject. but had depended
upon the records at the station. and
the Information of others to Justify
the charges he had made. He refused
to disclose the names of his informs

Third - That the charge that there
has been deportation of large numbers
OF Immigrants who should have been
allowed to land, is not supported by
any evidence. the commission finding
the contrary to be the fact.
i'ourth.-That complaints about the
methods OF the boards of special in
quirv have not been sustained, except
on the question OF the Interpretation o.
the law, which leads to the exclusion of
Interested parties and representatives
OF the immigrants from hearings
Fifth. That the charge that there is

rs larger quarters are not at the dis
posal of the authorities this difficulty

sixth the charge that there
are unclean conditions in and about the
buildings at Ellis Island has not been
supported by the proofs. on the con-
trary, the buildings and appointments
We're found exceptionally clean. except
ms to the sufficient disinfection of the
blankets.

pointments and extents IL fully sus-
tanned
Tenth.-That the charge that chill

trary, with every possible considera-
ton. so far as the inadequate facilities
at Ellis Island will permit. He is well
fed. fairly we'll housed. taken care of in
the hospital when sick-all without ex-
pense to himself. If permitted to land.
that permission releases him instantly
from the direct control of the Ellis
Island authorities. If. however, friends
or relatives who will act in the nature
of special protectors are expected to
call for him. he is again given his food
and lodging, without expense to him
self, until their arrival. The commits
sion is under the duty to unhesitnting-
