Victims of Wreck
Bear Troubles
Gracefully.

The army transport Sherman, Cap

expected sojourn at Honolulu, but they
bore that and their other tribulations
with good grace and in their thankful
ness at being safely home again have
already forgotten the worst OF their
troubles. Some of them take solid
comfort in the experience which, they
feel. viii always insure attention for
their views when future conversations
deal with the subject of shipwreck. AS
a "Reminiscences IL was worth the cost
and most of he-victims are sufficiently
philosophic TO accept that view Of 1T.

Colonel Tisdel says that all signs of
the recent revolution have disappeared
and that the soldiers have laid down
their arms and gone back to work on
the plantations. Tt was feared that by
taking SO many men away from the
fields the revolution would cost Guate-

prOD+em Is the most serious obstacle
that confronts the canal builders He
also deploFes the lack of esprit de
corps among the working forces. The
~knocker," he says, is busy from Colon
to Panama and no two departments
are working together. Sanitary eondi-
tions are good. he says, and comfort
able quarters have been provided for
all classes of employees, but there is
still much room for Improvement in
the food supply, which Mr.. Thomas de-
scribes as rotten. he thinks the
canal might be finished in about twelve
years. He has quit the isthmian serY-
ice and has come to San Francisco to
take advantage of the golden opper-
tunities offered by the work of re-
construction to men In his business.
