FIFTY JUMP INTO THE SEA
THEY REFUSE TO SUBMIT 70
THE AMERICAN SANITARY
REGULATIONS.

Colon. Oct. 3.-Six hundred and fifty
laborers from Martinique. brought
here Friday on the French steamer
Versailles under contract to work on
the canal, refused to disembarll or TO
submit TO vaccination, which is inn
perative under the American sanitary
regulations. They clamored to he
taken back TO Martinique, asserting
that they had been misinformed as to
the conditions here before they enl-
barked. and that later they learned
these conditions were intolerable and
deadly.
Yesterday morning. however, 500 of
them were with difficulty persuaded to
land and these We're sent to points
along the line of the canal. One hum
dred and fifty remained on board and
Declined to Leave
the ship under any consideration.
These We're forcibly elected from the
vessel by PanaMan and canal zone po-
licemen, but not until nearly every one
of them had been dubbed and several
were bleeding from nasty wounds All
Of yesterday and last night the Ver-
sailles was guarded by Panaman po-
licemen.
Early in the morning the French
consul at Colon. NJ. Bonhenry, ap-
pealed to the men to listen to reason,
explaining that they had left Martin
ique under contract with the canal
zone emigration agent guaranteeing
the payment of their passage here,
and that while working on the canal
they would have, inaddition to their
wages, the guarantee of free quarters
and free medical attendance. The
men, however.
Were Not Amenabie
to this reasoning. notwithstanding the
efforts of the consul and of the Pam
aman and American officials, and
despite the information given them by
several of their countrymen that
health and other conditions on the
isthmus were satisfactory,and that the
terms of their employment would en-
able them to save money. they persis-
tently refused to leave the ship, bar.
ing their breasts and invoking death
in preference to going ashore.
At 2 o'clock the laborers were in
formed that they would be given two
hours to reconsider their decision, and
at O'Clock three Of them consented
to disembark, the others still holding
out. Then the Panaman police, armed
with clubs. approached the laborers,
and on their refusing to quit the ship,
began TO
Club Them Right and Left.
The zone police a few minutes later
assisted in the clubbing, but with bet
ter judgement and less indiscriminate-
ly. About fifty of the laborers leaped
into the sea, but all of the men were
able to swim. The captain, however
lowered a boat. which picked them up.
Nearly every man had received blows
and several of them were bleeding
from ugly wounds
Seeing that resistance was useless.
the men yielded. came ashore and he
gan to eat the food which had been
placed on the dock in sight of them
for several hours. Many of them had
not eaten since Saturday. At S o'clock
all the laborers. who were in pitia-
BILE condition. were placed on board q
train which left for Corozal, where
they will. be put to work.
