Panama. January 3O.-The British ad-
miralty apparently is displaying much in
terest in the condition of the Panama
canal Sir Claude c. Mallet British min
lister to Panama, has been instructed, it
is understood. to ascertain the status OF
the recent landslide.
Sir Claude told canal officials reports
had been received in London that the
waterway probably would be closed in
definitely because of unfavorabe condi-
tions at Culebra cut. and that appar-
emily British shipping interests had re-
quested the government 10 learn what
conditions actually were. 1t is believed
here the reports in London were caused
BY a misunderstanding of the announce
meht from Washington that the formal
opening had been delayed
The condition of the channel was bet
ter today than at any time since October
Is, when it was closed. Five vessels Of
heavy draft safely navigated the water
way during the day. The channel Is be-
ing prepared for the Kroonland and the
Great Northern, which are expected Mon
day and Tuesday. Each of these draws 81
feet
Postponement of the formal opening OF
the canal was announced Monday al
Washington. One of the factors said tc
have been responsible was difficulty in
controlling slides Governor Goethals is
said to have told President Wilson he
could not promise that large battleships
could be sent through in March. when
the opening was to have taken place
