NOT SATISFACTORY
so SAYS CHARLES E. MAG0ON
OF PANAMA
Retiring American Minister Deolarei
Chinese Cannot Be Depended
Upon-Work on Canal Pro-
crosses Rapidly
Nv Associated Press.


NEW YORK, oct. t,v-Charles q. Ma.
COON, the retiring American minister
to Panama and governor of the cana
zone, arrived here today on the steam
er Panama from Colon.
He was accompanied by Joseph w
j. Lee. American minister to Ecuador;
Thomas w. Cook, collector of revenue
for the canal zone, and J. Gabriel
Duque, a Panama newspaper man.
Governor Magoon is not favorably
impressed with the Chinese as factor
in the construction Of the canal.
There are at present from two tc
three thousand Chinese on the 18TH
mus" said Governor Magoon, "and as
citizen 1 do not think they make
desirable laborers. They cannot be de-
pended upon as can the Barbados OF
the native negroes. AS soon as the
Chinaman has earned enough money
he starts a shop of his own and the
government loses a man."
Governor Magoon said that condi-
tions on the isthmus are most favor
able. The canal zone he considers well
governed and the people happy and
prosperous. He said that work on the
canal is progressing satisfactorily, al
though it is still in the preliminary
stage.
He said he had not been informed
concerning his successor as minister
to Panama and declined to discuss the
probability of himself going to the
Philippines. Discussing conditions on
the isthmus, Governor Magoon said:
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-02
Work Progressing Nicely

"The work on the isthmus is going
on we'll. l can safely. say that the
government of the zone is as good as
that of any locality in this country.
My relations with the Panama gov
ernment have been most pleasant
throughout.
THE canal work is progressing as
rapidly as possible but as yet 1t is
merely the work of preparation. The
main difficulty there is the labor ques-
ton. Our labor is drawn from Jamaica
and Barbados These people are in
telligent and with some education but
the trouble is that the West Indian
is bird of passage.
You get him to understand what
you want and fairly educated to his
work when he suddenly drops every
thing and goes away. What is needed
on the isthmus is organization of the
laborers. They should be divided into
gangs with a skilled man at the head
of each gang to instruct them in the
work and to advance those who be-
come proficient in any line. Organiza-
ton along this line is under way at
the present time"
