The Panama Canal. A TREMENDOUS CAVE-IN.
Official accounts have reached Washington, D.C., detailing the great cave-in on the De JJesseps canal. The slip was caused by underground currents of water, which had been disturbed and diverted by the canal excavation. The work now Btands about where ib did before a spadeful of material was removed. The cut is filled in solidly for a long dißtance with earth and rock, the latter in great masses. The engineers are preparing to begin work on the Culebra Cut which, it is calculated, cannot be accomplished in less than six years.
Mr Richard Waddington's colonial experiences in Australia and New Zealand nave jusfc appeared in pamphlet form.
