Chief Trouble Is Securing Of Satisfactory
Lahorers 10 DO The Work.

New York, Oct. 1-Charles f.
Maguon, the retiring American minis
ter to Panama and governor Of The
canal zone, arrived here today on tn.
steamer Panama from Celon. He was
accompanied by Joseph w. ]. Lee,
American minister to Ecuador
Thomas W. COOK, collector of revenue
for the canal zone ana j. Gabriel
Dnquc, Panama newspaper man.
Coy. MaGoun said that conditions on
the i:thmnS are most Favorable. The
canal zone he considers Well governed
and III" people happy and prosperous.
He said that work on the canal Is
progressing satisfactorily, although it
IS still in the preliminary stages. He
said that he had not been Informed
concerning his successor as Minis
ter to Panama and declined To discuss
the possibility of himself going 10 the
Philippines. He is not sure that he
is going to the Philippines, he said.
Discussing conditions on the
isthmus Governor Magoon said:
The main difficulty there is the
labor question. our labor is drawn
from Jamaica and Barbados. These
people are intelligent and with some
education but the trouble il that the
West Indian is bird of passage. You
get him to understand what YOU want
and fairly educate to his work when
he suddenly drops everything 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 its head to instruct
them in the work ana to advance
those who become proficient in any
line. Organization along this line is
under way at the present time"
Governor Magoon is not flvorably
impressed with the Chinese as a factor
in canal construction. He declared
that they are not 50 reliable as tn"
Earbado,S or native negro. They
might he successfully used, as they
have been in other parts Of the world,
under crulie contractors. but the GOV
ernur said this would amount to a
system of pcnnagr which the United
States would not tolerate.
Duuur, who is proprietor of the
Panama Star and Herald, said that
the transfer of Gov. Magoon has met
with great opposition from residents
Of all parts of the iSthnuS. A petit
ion bearing thousands of names was
was forwarded to President Amador,
raqIt..;ting him to do All in his power
