Goethals Reports on Conditions.

The last official word regarding the
probable date when the canal can be used
is the following from Col. Cocktails. which
has just been received in Washington:
We had every reasonable expectation
that the canal would be opened for COM
merce by July /, but due to renewed mo-
tons of Cucaracha slide. whether this will
be realized or not it is difficult to state at
this time. The heavy rains have nat
tened out the surface very materially and
caused a movement which was not antici-
pated. While we have ample width OF
channel. and, with the exception of 200
feet. ample depth for the passage Of boats
drawing not over thirty feet. 1t is uncer-
tain how long this can be maintained I'M
der existing conditions. Until we are in
position to feel assured that when boats
are once started through the canal there
will be no subsequent interruption I will
not allow any boats to pass. AS soon
as this condition is arrived at 1 will cable
