The present schedule seems to

LAST BARRIER BROKEN.
Blown Out by Dynamite Sunday
MOrning-Large Number of Spec
Ia Drs on Hand.

Panama, Aug. 31.-The last re-
naming barrier at the Pacific end of
the Panama canal was blown out by
dynamite this morning. 1t was an in
tensely interesting spectacle. At exact
ly $50 O'Clock an electric switch was
turned on and the 1900 spectators, in
Guiding the Shriners visiting here from
the United States and officers of the
British cruiser New Zealand, were re-
warded by a wonderful sight. Hun
dreds Of tons of mud and stones were
thrown high in the air and the thun-
derous roar of the explosion reechoed
in the nearby hills.
About 20 long tons, equivalent to
44,SOO pounds, of As per cent dyna-
mite constituted the blast, which was
one of the largest ever set off i'm the
canal.
The charge, which was planted in
BAL holes at an average depth of 80
feet, tore big gap in the barrier, but
not to sufficient depth to permit
water to flow through, as the sea lev
ell channel was at low tide.
Equally interesting as the explosion
was the actual breaking of the bar
rier this afternoon, the tide creeping
steadily up until at 1.35 o'clock it was
level with the top Of the gap. A work.
man seized a shovel and made a small
trench through which a rill of water
trickled. Gradually it widened, until
an hour later a raging torrent, with
35-foot fall. poured through an open
ing 400 feet wide into THAI part of the
canal between Gamboa dixie and the
Mirafiores locks which previ usly had
been excavated by steam shovels.
This cut, which is 5000 feet long,
500 feet wide and Al feet deep below
mean sea level, was entirely filled by
o'clock, when the waters of the Pa
Gifted laved for the first time the solid
masonry Of the Miraf1ores locks.
Dredges passed tonight through the
opening and in a few days the last
vestiges Of the barrier will be re-
moved, giving practically completed

dredges will begin September 2 to reA
move the last barrier of the Atlantic
channel.
