Of new arrivals. It's their only fun.
They have q cheerful little song

PANAMA., lsthmus of Panama,
July 14.-Louis Van de Putte, who
was DeLesseps' chief engineer, and
under whose direction was made
most of the canal building progress
of the French, has come back to
the isthmus to view again the work
he deserted a score af years ago,
fleeing before a scourge of malar
ial fever which, he says, brought
death to every member of his i'm
mediate party of IS except himself
and one other.
Monsieur Van de Putte is
Partisan. After week on the
isthmus he WI go to Columbia to
look into the practicability of a
new railroad system.
Van de Putte shook his head sad
ly, as he stood at the foot of Guile
bra hill, mid the hum of the toiling
thousands, with theeir steam shov-
els, drills and locomotives.
II shall never see the Panama
canal" said he. mo, not II l live
to be-what do you cal lit-a cen
tenarian. For at the present rate
of operation it will take so years
to complete the work, and after
awhile they are not going to work
so well as now. Not that there are
any engineering problems. That
is the simplest part Of the whole
project. But there's malaria down
In those swamps, and there's yell
low fever in that jungle, and there's
death awaiting eight men out of
every ten who come here. The
Americans, it is true, have done
much to improve conditions, but
they can do no more than promote
cleanliness. But the fevers are in
the soils below, and in the rains
from above"
Needless to say, none of the
on the isthmus share
Van de Putte's pessimistic views.
From Stevens, the chief engineer,
down, they say the canal will be
built, and within Is years; that the
mortality Of the zone, low already,
will diminish instead of increase,
and that there is practically no yell
low fever or malarial fever on the
isthmus at the present time.
And If there really is, it is con-
cealed with admirable success.
There are people in the hospitals,
but no one knows why. From time
to time men are missed from their
accustomed places of labor. Occa-
sionally natives carrying long
narrow box may be seen making
their way to the little graveyard on
the hillside. Still no bulletins are
posted, and few people learn Of
these things.
But there is sickness that the
naked eye of the layman can de-
tect among the Americans In every
town and camp. Nearly everybody
has it. That's inconsistencies. Some
men purpOsing to work on the
isthmus get as far as the camp to
which they are assigned, where
they work week OF till they
have the price of the return pas
sage; others, more fortunate, have
the wherewithal when they reach
Colon One glimpse at that dismal
city and they invest it in a trip
home. About half. heroes every
one of them, stick.
Make a stake; then skidoo."
It's the big money that attracts.
Here are some of the wages paid:
Steam shovel men, $21O a month.
Railroad engineers, $3.50 month.
Plumbers, Is cents an hour.
Stenographers, $125 to $3.50 a

RELEASE SEVEN YOUTHS
Pressure in Detention Home Such
That Best Behaved Boys
Are ParoIed

The problem of finding accommoda-
tions for the daily increasing number
of delinquent boys is one that the de-
tention home authorities cannot see
the solution of as yet.
The home is full and overfowing and
nearly every day sees the number OF
boys increasing. Yesterday, as a last
resort, seven of the inmates were sent
to their homes to be taken care Of
by their parents.
Great excitement reigned in the home
before it became known who would be
the lucky boys to escape the discipline
imposed upon the youths. The seven
were chosen from among those who had
the best record for good behavior.
They will be put on probation until
after the legal holidays, when they will
have to appear before the juvenile
court.
Two boys sent to the horne yesterday
were refugees from San Francisco.
They were Joseph Callan and William
Mccarthy, picked up by the police.
They will be detained until their rel
atives are found or a good home is Of
fered them.
