MORE CANAL TROUBLE.
DilatOry Methods of Paying Labor
Labor Problem Serious.

Panama, July 15.-The bubonic
plague quarantine against La Boca has
been raised by the order Of Governor
Magoon. Owing to dilatory methods
of paying labor, a general exodus Of
workmen is taking place among the
day employees Of the canal. Reports
from Culebra indicate that laborers
are quitting in scores and taking to the
woods for bananas and other tropical
fruits to ward off starvation. Unless
q speedy change is made in the Treas
nary department methods Of paying
wages, local labor cannot be obtained
for the canal work. The labor problem
is very serious and unless some way
can be found to meet the effect Of the
ruling of the attorney general in re-
gard to contract labor, the time for
digging the canal must be extended in
definitely.
