TO CONSIDER VARILLA'S PLANS.
EnEineers Doubt That Panama Canal Can

Engineers Doubt That Panama Canal Can
he Made Navigabie In -Four Years.
WASHINGTON, May 9.--It was announced
to-day that NJ. Bunau-Varilla, one Of the
engineers Of the old French Panama Canal
Company and the Panama Governments
first diplomatic representative In this
country, had prepared plans for building
tho canal which were now in the hands OF
the Canal Commission. They will soon be
turned over to the members OF the Canal
Commission comprising the board Eof engi-
The board will give NJ. Bunau-Varilla' 9
plans most careful consideration, and Chief
Engineer Wallace will take them TO
Panama when he goes next week. NJ
Binau- Varilla's declaration that ny MS
plans the canal can be made nAvigable in
four years Is greeted with great deal OF
skepticsm by the engineers here. II II
reRa rded as well nigh impossible 70 dig
through CulebTa Cut In that time.
The executive committee OF the canal
Commission has fully a score OF plans on
its hands. Some have been sent in by
cranks and some by engineers OF ability
who have stIdied the situation in Panama.
All will be considered, and while no par
ticular one is likely TO be adopted as a
whole, IL L. regarded as extremely posslb BILE
that the oomrnission's engineers will gather
IDEAS from the various plans. The Work
on the canal can progress for two yeaH
before II will be absolutely necessary to
have a definite working plan. The con-
Eulting board Of engineers will meet next
September TO decide on final plans
