The writer is just in receipt of a
letter from his brother-in-law, formerly
OF this state, who is conductor on one
of the. work trains at Culebra on the
lsthmian canal. We give here a few
extracts which may possibly be of
interest to Tribune readers. He says:
Eve are in the rainy season here but
it has not rained very much till the
last week. Now it rains little every
day. Some days this place has a very
busy appearance but today it looks
pretty dead. We had hard rain day
before yesterday, which caused soft
tracks and several land slides and
derailments and SO six of ten steam
shovels are tied up. Culebra is stu.
ated where the big deep cut four
miles long is being dug on the canal
eleven miles north of Panama and
thirty-six miles south Of Colon. The
canal will be north and south or about
So; do not like the climate and con.
ditions here, though have not been
sick before since leaving the states.'
He has touch of malaria fever.
There is some yellow fever and con.
siderable malaria on the Isthmus hut
Culebra is the highest point and most
free from both. The work has not
been commenced outside the cut yet,
that is the Americans : have not
touched that point yet, though the
French did lot of work all along the
line of the canal that will be of use
when that part is reached. Some of
their old works are grown over again
with jungle but they dug an immense
amount of earth in many places and OF
course all this will be so much done
now. But our people are not doing
much and a great deal OF time is
wasted on account of poor tracks, de-
railments and poor equipments that
they will have to change for the better
II they ever get the canal dry.
guess Teddy is determined to put it
through, SO guess he will get some
one that has head enough to go at 1t
right and build proper tracks that win
