PANAMA, Dec. 1.-Panama has agreed to cooperate with the canal authorities in the suppression of opium traffic. Notice has been given to Low Lam, the chinaman who has for years enjoyed monopolistic con- cession for sale of opium in Panama, that his contract will be terminated at the end of thirty days time. By this action the Republic will lose S2O, 900 annual revenue, which was the price Low Lam paid for his cOnces- sion.
 The abrogation of this contract sooner or later had been fOreseen, since Panama was one of the sigma tories to the international convention for the suppression of opium traffic, but Panama would not be bound to observe the convention until its gen. eral ratification.
 The action is highly gratifying to the canal authorities who have been fighting against a spread of the opium smoking habit among the Chinese and others in the canal district. Several cases involving the prosecution of alleged opium smugglers have been set for trial in the United States dis trict court for the Zone.
 It is said that a quantity of the drug is being smuggled across the Columbian border. The Panama government has sent a special police force to that section in an effort to stamp out the alleged smuggling.

HAVANA, Dec. 1.-Distress in the tobacco-growing region of Havana and Pinar del Rio has become so acute that the gOvenement is at a loss to find means for relief. Many tracts, once of enormous value for the cuIti- vation of the finest tobacco and fit for little else have been abandoned, or partly utilized for sugar or vege- tables for the Havana market. Mum erous causes are ascribed, the fore most being that the world has de- creased it's demand for the once un- rivaled Cuban leaf. This has been the case particularly as concerns Europe.
 A governmental commission is now working in India and the Philippines in the hope of finding some crops which may be grown with reason able profit on the abandoned tobacco plantation of Cuba.
