be dredged away, according to passen.
gers ON the T. X. X. steamer Kiyo
Maru, in port today. The vessels are
of all kinds, ranging from small
schooners to large freight and pas
senger steamers.
That the army transport Buford
never entered the canal at all, but was
at Cristobai. a suburb of Colon, wait
ing to go through when the heavy
slides occurred, was also stated by
passengers who boarded the Kiyo
Maru at Balboa.
There are 95 women and children,
officers wives and families, staying
in hotels and at the homes of army
friends in the Canal Zone waiting for
the canal to open again, so that the
Buford can sail for the Philippines"
said Mrs. Walter III. Chatfield, wife
of Col Chatfield, the new command
ant of Fort Shafter.
Col. Chatfield brought the news
that the, only other army man ordered

ing at a hotel there. AS he is COM
ing at government expense, he is not
allowed to come up on a passenger
steamer. Col. Chatfield had to secure
permission from the war department
before he could leave the transport
and come on the first available
steamer at his own expense.
Troops of the Buford are Quartered,
according to Col. Chatfeld, at four
different sections of the Canal Zone,
three infantry posts and one artillery
post, Fort Grant. The regiment
which was coming on the Buford
when the slides tied up traffic for an
indefinite period Is the 9th Infantry.
In this way they are sheltered in
permanent army buildings, and are
able to keep well and protected from
the heavy rains now falling there.
Col. Chatfield reported the regiments
health, also the physical condition of
everyone of the transports crew and
passengers, as excellent, with no sick
ness. r~ ~.-.@ = ~
At the time Col. Chatffeld left the
canal engineers we're having trouble
with the big dredges sent down to
clear away the slides and were hav.
ing to use the old French dredges to
clear away enough debris to enable
the bigger and more powerful Ameri-
can excavators to gain large enough
space in which to begin work.
