Washington. Dec. 121.-No little ex-
citement has been caused IN official
circles here by the criticism of Bunan
Varilla, formerly chief engineer OF the
Panama canal under the French re-
gtrne. Mr., Varilla predicts that the
great work of the Panama canal will
end in disaster unless the site now
proposed for the immense dam to sup
ply the locks is changed
+ Already President Roosevelt has ca :
bled Col. G. w. Gothals, u. S. A., who
is now actively in charge OF the canal
project, regarding the criticism OF the
Panama work, and wants to know the
exact conditions. In an interview Mr..
Varilla states that the Americans have
made a great mistake in not putting
through q sea level canal or II they
desire the locks system that they did
not use other sources where the found
ations could have been soIidly in1bed-
ed.
The criticism has come about by the
recent washouts and sinking Of the
dam foundations, owing to the heavy
rainfall and flood in the canal zone.
