On the day after Cannae, the greatest

man senate offered for sale the land On
which the Carthaginian army was en-
camped. That was the spirit which
made the Romans the masters of the
world. And such spirit yet survives,
and is heroic in ruined San Francisco,
where the people, amid the ashes of
their homes and contemplating the
devastation of their wealth. have grim
~ resolved to rebuild their city and
make a greater San Francisco That
they will succeed, there IS not the slight-

It was the prediction of Thomas H.

but as the Pacific is the greatest of
waters it's traffic. in course of time,
must surpass the trade of the Atlantic.
When that time shall come, immense
cities will spring up on our west coast,
and San Francisco must become chief
of them. The proper spirit is there,

HIM. Byers, the author of Sherman
March 20 the Sea, gives a vivid picture
of the action in which he took part at

won the battle Just as orders arrived
from Sherman not to make the attack.

That was all The terrific fighting

CLEANLINESS KILLS NEGROES.
lsthmian Sanitation and Fresh Air Too Much
for Lungs of West Indians.

Washington, July 16-Perfect sanitation and
cleanliness are proving fatal to the West Indian
Negroes employed on the Panama Canal AL
though Colonel Gorgas and his assistants have
banished yellow fever and other tropical fevers
which made the canal zone one large burying
ground for the French canal builders, they have
found that sanitary precautions taken in the
quarters occupied by workmen make the ia
maican Negroes especially susceptible TO pneu-
monia and other throat and lung troubles
West Indians are not accustomed to an abun-
dance OF fresh air and well ventilated, cleanly
quarters. Living for generations in small huts
where large families crowd into rooms tightly
closed against the night air. the Negroes from
Jamaica and other tropical islands have lungs
with cramped capacity, unable to Withstand
changes Of temperature
The officers in charge have found that the
West Indian laborers cannot be induced to eat
sufficient wholesome food to keep them in good
health, even when supplied at cost price and
made attractive at great expense to the Canal
Commission.
Chief Engineer Stevens, Governor Magoon and
other men identified with the work on the
isthmus have agreed that lack Of lung capacity
and insufficient nourishment, rather than lazi-
ness, are responsible for the inability of the
West Indians to perform an amount of work
equal to that done by white laborers from Spain.
The Negroes paid only 80 cents day, while
the white men from Spain and Cuba are paid
twice that amount, and many OF the bosses on
the canal work are OF the opinion that the white
men really do much more than twice as much
as the Negro laborsrs.
The SpaniardJ have been found to be thrifty
and cleanly inELheir habits. They take their
families 70 the isthmus and maintain homes
in which wholesome conditions prevail and good
food is served. Most OF the Spaniards now en-
ployed on the isthmus went there from Cuba,
but they are natives Of Spain who had obtained
employment in Cuba. It is expected that Spain
will grant the commission permission to take
large numbers of Spanish laborers TO the
isthnus
To abandon Negro labor according to the
commission, would be practically impossible.
But Chairman Shonts and other members Of the
commission feel that it is unsafe to depend on
any class OF labor, and because Of the un-
satisfactory results with Negro labor, are not
only turning to the Spaniards. but will probably
try Chinese labor later IL is not believed that
sufficient Spaniards can be had to meet the de-
nands when the canal work becomes more ad-
Vanced.
