1t Is No Place to Go Now in Search
of Fortune.
Washington. Sept. 9.-John Barrett,
the American minister TO Panama, has
made a special report to the State
Department relative to the present and
future conditions on the isthmus as
affected by the building of the Pan
vent sore disappointment on the part
of adventurous Americans attracted
toward Panama by resumption of the
vast enterprise. The report in sub
stance is as follows:
'First-NO man seeking a position
as clerk, stenogra pher, typewriter, en-
gineer, foreman, or any similar class
of labor which the average American
is willing to perform should come to
the iSthmus in expectation of securing
a position unless he has made some
previous arrangement for employment
"Second-There are not at present
many opportunities for the establish
ment of many new mercantile, business
and professional firms.
"Third-Both Americans in the
United States and Panamaians here
have greatly exaggerated the increase
of population which will result from
the construction of the canal In
Guiding those who will be employed
on the canal and others who will come,
the increase will be only about $4,000
people.
"Fourth-There is not yet any real
boom in Panama, in Colon or in the
zone, but rents for houses, stores and
offices have doubled and tripled dur
ing the last few months and are now
almost exorbitantly high"

LONGEST AND BL00DIEST
BATTLE IN HISTORY,

That Is Believed of the Fight at
Lao Yang.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 4, 2:4O a. M
The battle of Lao Yang, which began
with a Japanese advance on Aug. "a,
the day OF the christening of the Care
witch, and concluded Saturday Sept.
3, with the retreat of Gen. Kuropatkin,
is believed to have been the longest
and bloodlest in history. Both sides
repeatedly came to hand-to-hand en-
counters in bayonet charges, and the
men of both sides were often so near
each other that they could distinguish
features and hear words of command.
In one instance they were separated
only by the width of the railroad, and
actually threw stones at each other.
Correspondents state that several of
the bayonet attacks made by the Jap
anese throughout the battle have been
forced by the depletion of ammunition.
The Japanese came on with empty guns
and with hopes of finishing the attack
with cold steel but it was proved at
