FOR CANAL CONTRACTS.
GOETHALS TELLS VIEWS.
In Tentative Report He FoUors
Letting Work By Sections.
IFrom The tribune Bureau.l

Washington, July Lieutenant Colonel
Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama Canal,
has made tentative report regarding the con-
struction of the canal in which he expresses the
conviction that it will be found advisable to
divide the work into sections and classes and
to let contracts for many If not all of these
subdivisions. The chief engineer has expected
from the start to deal exhaustiveIy with the
question of contracts some time before the con-
veninG of Congress. and his preliminary recon-
mendatiOns seem clearly to forecast the nature
of his final report
In view of the fact that Secretary Taft will
leave Washington for the Philippines about Sep
TENDER ]. it is probable that Colonel Cioethals
VIII come here to confer with the Secretary some
time during August The Secretary now expects
TO start for Murray Bay on Wednesday and to
return to Washington about August 3. Lieutea-
ant Colonel Cocktails is expected TO arrive in the
capital soon after the latter date
Lieutenant Colonel Cocktails was opposed. all
along 10 the blanket form of contract pro-
posed by Chairman ShOnts and Chief Engineer
stevens having entertained the opinion that it
would lead TO endless controversy regarding the
character OF the work and the price to be paid
therefor II was this opinion, doubtless which
went FAR in deciding the President and the Sec
rotary Of War 10 reject all bids submitted under
the ShOnts- Stevens uIan
Inc chief engineer purposes using the form Of
contracts under which practically all the work
done under the supervision of the army en-
Sineers is now carried on. both for fortfca-
lions and river and harbor improvements These
contracts would not be SO large as to impose a
greater responsibility than could be undertaken
by the individual contractor. Being limited each
to certain well known conditions the specfca-
lions could be Complementary and accurately
drawn and the closest and most effective super
vision could be maintained while there would
be no occasion for controversy over the COM
pensation which. in the opinion of army engi-
neers, would certainly arise with contract let
on the percentage basis.

mel Cocktails suggestion. and none is likely 10

Is bending every energy to accumulate data and
prepare a report which will on It's face present
conclusive evidence in support OF the PROPOSE
tions he expects to submit.
What would appear 10 be a conclusive con-
tradiction OF the reports recently published in
this country that the army officers engaged in
the work of constructing the Panama Canal are
endeavoring TO be relieved Of that task is con-
tanned in the following cable dispatch received
at the War Department to-day from Panama:
