PANAMA CANAL NOW IN USE
TRAFFIC PASSING THROUGH is
THE REPORT.
TweIve-Hour Barge Service From At
lantic 70 Pacific in eject,
Washington Dispatch Says,

Washington, May 15.-F0r the first
time in the worlds history water
borne traffic between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans is now passing through
the Panama canal, according 10 the
reports that have been received at the
headquarters of the Panama railroad
in New York, forwarded here.
Though confirmation of the report
has not yet reached the Washington
Office OF the isthmian canal. it is
known hat ample provision had been
made by Colonel Goethals for the in
stitution of water service, limited at
first strictly TO barges. beginning not
later than May 10. AS a matter of
fact. according 10 the Panama railroad
reports, the service actually began last
Saturday and a steady stream of
barges in tow is now passing through
the canal.
Colonel Goethals has not yet report
ed TO Washington just when the canal
will be opened TO merchant shipping,
but the understanding here is that the
waterway is practically finished and
that even now there is a sufficient
channel through the Culebra cut for
almost any warship or liner.
1t is understood that this barge ser
vice is to be operated on about twelve
hours schedule from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. which allows about an
hours delay in each Of the locks.
