Show Panama Canal Region Unhealthy. General Haines, a member of the Isthmian canal commission, who has just returned from the isthmus, says that fever is prevalent there, and that it is quite dangerous to white men. He says it is either yellow fever or such a malignant type of malarial fever as to be as bad as yellow fever. The condition con-dition can be improved, but it would require control by the government of sanitary measures. He thinks it would take a year to place the canal region in proper sanitary condition. |
