 Mr. Daniels had a further confer euce during the day with Captain Hugh Rodmau. marine superntend- ent of the canal, who told him that al though a vessel drawing 30 feet o1 water could be towed through the waterway at this time, the canal was only being used by day and dredging was going on steadily every night.
 Major General Goethals talked with the secretary yesterday and it is un- derstood advised that while 1t will be possible 10 put the battleships through now. he could give no assur- ances of what conditions would be in June and could not promise that the fleet once through would not have it's return blocked by new slides.
