VOLCANO SAID
TO THREATEN
Clouds of Steam and Blue Smckc
Rislnp From Newly Turned Earth
in Culcbra Cut Giving Rise to Ap
prehensions. Special Report of Division Engineer
Lends Color to the Published Ac
counts. NEW YOHK, March 13. Tho
statement that a slcoptnp volcano,
dormant for many centuries, is threa
tening the safety of the Panama
canal is made in Hpccinl roports from
Colon published bore toddy.
The volcano is said to underlie tho
CulebraCut.
The fear of volcnnic trouble, had its
origin in the fact that clouds of
steam and blue smoke havo been ris
ing from newly turned earth. Every
drill hole in the affected area is test
ed with a thermometer before dyna
mite h? put in to prevent a premnturo
explosion.
The division engineer's report of
the phenomenon is in part as fol fel fol
eows: "Tliree weeks ago I noticed that
the locality described which con
sisted of a sat ratified sedimentary
rock beneath which there nppcurod
some lignite of a low grade, was
sending up a thick cloud of white
steam or vapor. I cxnmtncd the spot
and found Hint the entire mas was
heated to a considerable tempera
ture. "Steam was escaping from num
erous small openings "and from four
principal vents. The sides of tho
vents were encrusted with whito ami
yellow powdor material, the yellow
appearing to be sulphur.
"Within tho last fivo days there
has been quite a change in the char
acteristics. Tho temperature bus in
creased and a pule blue smoke, in
stead of steam is now coming from
tho vonts. To givo an idea of tho
temperature of tho largor vont I took
a piece of whito pine and hold it for
three minutes in the mouth of tho
largest vent and it was completely
charred."
Tho canal commission's geologist
declares that the steam and smoko
aro duo only to tho oxidization.
