Thousands on Hand


Panama, October 10.--The Gamboa
dixie, the last artificial barrier 10 actual
communication between tthe Atlantic
and Pacific oceans by way OF the Pan
ANA canal was rent in twain by the
hand of President Woodrow Wilson at
2:02 o'clock this afternoon. Between
three and four thousand persons from
Panama and Colon cities, and various
sections of the canal journeyed to the
scene to witness the demolition of the
barrier and while the event OF destroy
ing the dixie, to degree was success
ful in every detail, some disappoint-
ment was evinced because the entire
dixie was not destroyed. Entire de-
molition today was not carried out be-
cause of the fear that the concussioil
might damage the railroad trestle
crossing the cut near San Miguel locks.
The two remaining sections will be dy-
namited at some future date. The spec
tators lined the banks of the cut, out
side the zone of danger. occupying
every available vantage point. AS the
hour approached when President Will
son would press the button to explode
the numerous charges of dynamite in
the. take a hush of expectancy fell over
ALL When the minute hand of watches
passed the hour of two o'clock the sus-
pense became still greater and the en-
suing two minutes seemed like as many
hours.
Then suddenly came the muffled roar
of the discharge of 1900 pounds of dy-
Mantle which sent a shower of water,
mud and rock high into the air, spread =
ing out as 1t went upward, the whole
heavily yelled in a cloud of smoke. 1t
was considered among local dynamite
experts as a remarkably clean explo-
sion. A section of the dixie sixty feet
wide was lifted bodily from it's bed and
its component parts scattered far and
vide
Crowds Cheer
As water began to pour through the
rent made by the explosion whistles
were tied down and the crowd sent up
a great cheer. Not an obstruction was
left in the opening except some iron
pipes which stuck up here and there.
AT the hour that President Wilson
set off the blast the water in the cut
was exactly six feet below the level
of Lake Gaun and the inflow cf water
afterward was in such volume that the
cut was filed to lake level within an
hour and half
There was only one accident, woman
spectator was struck on the head by a
rock which was dislodged by others from
the hillside where she was watching the
explosion. Her injury is not serious. All
the heads of the canal departments were
present for the epoch-makng event. as
also were all the members of the cabi-
net of President Porras, himself unable
to be present.
1t was Colonel Goethals' day and the
chairman of the Panama canal commits
sion was the recipient of a shower OF
congratulations Half an hour before the
! blast was set off Colonel Goethals took

as the time neared for the explosion he
