HEALTH ON CANAL
GRATIFIES SHONTS
Engineer Stevens Writes Of
Excellent Conditions of
Spanish LabOrerS.
BETTER THAN JAMAICANS
Secretary Bishop Reports Yellow Fever
Entirely Wiped Out and No
Danger of Return.

Chairman Theodore Shonts. of the
Isthmian Canal Commission, has re
ceived a letter from Chief Engineer Ste
Yens, Of the Canal Commission, which
shows a very encouraging condition Of
health among the laborers who have
been brought from northern Spain TO
work on the canal Since the first Of
January last there have been about 800
men brought 10 the canal zone from
that section Of Spain, and of this num-
Der not one has died from disease.
They have malaria 10 about the same
extent as American whites. but not at
all TO the extent 10 which the negroes
have 1t, and there has not been single
case OF yellow fever among them. In
the opinion of Colonel Gorgas, the
chief sanitary officer of the canal, the
general condition OF these employees is
about as good as it was when they
were In their homes IN Spain, and they
stand the climate much better than the
negro labOrers.
MIR. Stevens writes that he is con-
Vinced by this experience that 'auy
white man, so called, under the same
conditions viii stand the conditions on
the isthmus very much better than the
blacks, who are supposed 10 be immune
from practically everything. but who,
most everything"
Chairman Shonts Pleased.
This report was received by Chairman
Shonts with "A great deal of saJisfac-
tion, and even surprise, as it is entirely
contrary 10 the prevalent idea that the
negro is less susceptible to malaria than
the white man. even Of tropical COun-
tries. The Spanish labOrers. for this
reason alone. are expected To give far
greater satisfaction than the Jamaica
negroes.
This report shows the health condi-
tons on the isthmus to be the best ever
known, and even better than had been
this time last year.
Yellow Fever Stamped Out.
