Is No Place for Americans.
Postoffice Inspector Letherman, in
charge of the New England postal dis
trict. has just returned from n three
months trip to Panama, where he has
been introducing the United States postal
service into the canal zone. He is not
very enthusiastic over that country. He
states that the climate in the present sea-
son is very poor, and conditions there
just now are not propitious for Ameri-
can occupation Gen. Davis, the military
governor Of the canal zone, has applica-
tons from 1000 young men for positions
in the district, and he has written to
all that they had better wait until condi-
lions become more favorable.
The climate is especially bad at this
season of the year, and the sanitary con
ditions are Of the poorest sort Yellow
fever dysentery and tropical complaints
are scourging the country, and the death
rate is 80 per cent higher than that Of
New Orleans, which has the highest
death rate of any city Of the United
States Several died OF yellow fever
while he was down there. and Chagres
fever has ravaged the districts which
border on the river of that name.
The engineers working over the canal
force have to wade in mud over their
knees all day long. Several have died.
The work Of surveying is still going on
all over the zone. and the men have to
work under great disadvantage. At Guile
bra, where the big cut is made. there are
300 Jamaica negroes digging the trench.
They are used to the climate.
