John ]. Condor Unfavorably Impressed
With Panama Climate.

John J. Condor OF this city has just re-
turned from the isthmian canal zone, where
he spent some time on the construction
work of the Panama canal as general
foreman. Mr. Condor was located at Pan
anna most Of his time. but in his investiga-
lions made short trips to different parts
OF the isthmus. He says the climate 10
hardly endurable by any other than the ma
tive born Inhabitants. The laborers en-
ployed by the commission are composed
largely OF natives. controlled and worked
by Americans assigned to positione as fore
men Many of the native Americans soon
after their arrival are attacked by some
form of dangerous disease, he says, such as
yellow fever or an aggravated form of ma
laria. Mr.. Condor did not escape, and for
some time was Ill and was treated in the
Ancon Hospital, an American institution,
where the sick are given the most skilled
medical attention at the expense of the
government.
Mr.. Condor had many words of praise for
the excellent hospital service and attributed
his recovery to its fine management. He
will probably remain here w...i his family
at 81 H street northwest.
