NEWEST OF THE REPUBLICS
Panama'! Tirritorj, People, Products
Climate- sod Peonliritiet
SETTLEMENTS CHIEFLY-ON THE COAST
Dense Jungles of the Interior Mule
Paths and Abandoned Ports
Isthmus Sorely In Need
of Sanitation.
The territory of Panama, embracing the
larger part of the Isthmus, extends east and
west about 4H0 mllea measured In a straight
Inc. It adjoins the Republic of Costa Rica
on the wtst.
Panama and Costa R!ca have a long
standing boundary. dispute, and no one pre
tends to know how It will finally be decided.
The boundary shown on this map la that
adopted by the best cartographers pending
the decision of the dispute.
Near the boundary on the Carrlbbean elde
la Boca del Toro, the fine Inlet protected
by Islands, which was occupied last week
by a force despatched by the new govern
ment In purnuance of Ita policy to keep
armed detachments at the principal Inlets
along the coasts, particularly on the Car
rlbbean, so long as Colombia may maintain
h hostile attitude.
The eastern boundary Is the Oulf of
Darlen and the Atrato river, which Is navi
gable almost to Its source, In northwestern
Colombia. The river would not be promi
nent In ony hostilities that Colombia might
contemplate, because muddy, bars at Its
mouth preyent entrance to any but the
smallest veawls, And to take troops down
the Atrato to Panama would Involve the
crossing of almost Impassable mountain
ranges.
We have a little Island In the Pacific,
Guam, which, to some extent reproduces the
conditions found on the Isthmus of Pan
ama, though Guam la far more healthful.
Our government has made a map of Guam,
In which are shown all the Indentations
and towns along the coast, but the Interior
Is entirely blank except that one little
mountain Is ahown . in the northern part
from tha top of which about a third of the
Island may be seen.
Tropical Jung-lea.
The jungle Is so dense on Guam that
habitation is confined to the coast and even
the natives Havs never penetrated Inland.
It Is on accouut'of the dense thickets of
the tropical Jungles which cover nearly the
whole of Panama also that our knowledge
of the Interior of the Isthmus is still very
uiiaatisfactory.
When the American geologist, Robert T
Hill, made a geological reconnaissance
through the Isthmus several years ago lie
reported that our khowlcdge of the higher
summits and fhe topography of the country
beyond the low drainage valleys opening
on (he oceans was very deficient. We know,
however, that most of the interior is
thickly sprinkled with hills and low moun
tains most Irregularly distributed. The
courses of the larger rivers have been
traced and also some of the tributaries,
and the courses of some smaller tributaries
have been Inferred from the lay of the land.
But while most of the territory of
Panama la uninhabited except by scattered
bands of Indians, there are a ,few Small
areas of treeless upland country, particu
larly along the Pacific coast north of the
city of Panama, where a considerable num
ber of settlements are found and agricul
ture is followed. The towns and hamlets
are scattered over these upland regions or
dotted along the coasts, particularly on
the Inlets, or planted In the Interior along
some of the waterways within easy reach
of the sea or along the line of the Isthmian
railroad, between the cities of Panamaand
Colon, where the population Is moat dense.
F.stlmates of Population.
Panama is supposed to have about 250,000
Inhabitants; but no census has ever been
taken, and these figures are based only
upon an official estimate by the Colombian
government. The difficulties .of travel and
the Ill-famed climate have made the Isth
mus so unattractive to residents from for
eign lands that they have added little to
our knowledge of the people and country
except In the neighborhood of the railroad.
One of the most recent books, written by
a physician who was for two years In the
service of the Panama Canal company, is
entirely given to the region between Pan
ama and Colon. The writer apparently
saw no other part of the country.
Some of the towns are well worth men
tioning. David la the capital of Chlrlqul
province and stands within twelve miles
of the" Paclrlo on a grassy plain, flanked
on the north by the superb cone of
Chlrlqul.
Not far away is Bugaba, near where were
discovered old graves full of gold orna
ments, which, In 1860, gave the Chlrlqul
district a temporary renown as a new
El Dorado. One grave in about twenty or
twenty-five codtalned gold or copper ob
jects, chiefly figures of animals, particu
larly frogs,- that were evidently worn as
amulets by the natives. Some 1,600 gold
seekers were attracted to the spot and ex
hausted the supply after treasures worth
about 3200.000 had been unearthed.
Nata Is one of the oldest settlements In
America, dating from 1612, some time be
fore the name of Mexico was known In
Europe.
The city pt Panama owes all Its celebrity
to Its vital position at the narrowest part
of the Isthmus. It has flourished or de
clined according -to the routes followed by
International trade.
The work on the De Lrsreps canal gave
It a period of great prosperity, but It has
languished In recent years. It Is o won
der that the people of Panama and Colon
were cut to the quick by the way In which
the Colombian government has trifled with
their interests; for they can have enduring
prosperity only by the carrying out of the
canal enterprise.
Under the old regime of Spain the, only
line of communication between On two
oceans waa one simple mulo path crossing
the isthmus from Panama to Porto "Bello
on the Atlantic side. Porto Bello harbor
Is commodious and deep, but the fortifica
tions of the old seaport are now over
grown with forest vegetation and the place
has become an obscure hamlet occupied by
a few hundred negroes who do a little trade
with Colon, Colombia and Jamaica.
I nfavorable Climate.
The deadly "Ct.agres fever raged so ther
that the port was practically abandoned
and Chugres became the Atlantic terminus
of the lsthmUnroute from Panama. But
C hag res soon won fame aa a hotbed oC
marsh fevers and tho population rapidly
disappeared.
A new port was founded, therefore, which
waa called Colon In honor of Columbus,
who discovered the bay. It became known
also as Asplnwall. from the name of one of
the chief promoters of the Isthmian rail
road. This name, in late years, has been
very little used.
After Colon was burned In the revolution
of 186 It was rebuilt on a larger plan and
on better drained ground, but It la still a
very unhealthful place.
The late George B. Morrison, the civil
engineer. In his address in December last
before the American Geographical society,
said that the death rate on the Isthmus
could be greatly diminished. He attributed
the unhealthful climate to the fact that no
systematic sanitary wofk has ever been
undertaken.
v There is an abuialance of excellent water
In the mountain streams, but no village or
city has a water supply. There is no sewer
age system. f
Tlig women washed soiled clothes In the
streams and the people get their wster from
the same streams. Nearly every disease
mify be found there, and the filth of Cen
turies is kept under some of the houses.
He said that before the United States
could begin work on the completion of the
canal thorough sanitary Improvements
should be made. With sanitary control and
discipline exercised by the United States
the greatest difficulties thst hsve hitherto
beset the Isthmus of Panama would be re
moved. The conditions of the isthmus .would be
no worse than that of other damp tropical
countries. The hills along the line of the
canal would Turnlsh sites for gardens nnd
residences. Il thought It was not Impos
sible that In time this teglon, which has
been regarded as one of the world's pest
holes, might become a favorite winter re

LIVED ONE HUNDRED YEARS
Reminiscences of Brooklyn Woman
Who Had Passed the Cen
tury Mark.
There died In Brooklyn 15 Lawrence
street on Saturday morning last a lady
whose span of life covered an even century,
whose memory went back to George III,
who wns a years old when Thomas Jeffer
son died, and who was a mature woman
of 34 when Samuel F. Morse filed his
caveat In the Washington patent office for
the electro-magnetic telegraph. She was 8
years old when Thackeray wns born and
9 years old when Dickens was born.
Mrs. Marie Plarum Harrison wns the old
lady's name and she was born In Hampton
parish, Middlesex, about twelve miles from
London, England, In the month of Novem
ber, 1803. Her father, she was fond of
telling, was bootmaker to George III, and It
was in the vicinity of Hampton Court
palace that she frequently saw that
potentate In the course of the rambles about
the neighborhood which history describes
Farmer George as fond of taking.
Mrs. Harrison was a handsome and
sprightly young girl when George III died,
but her recollection of him went back to
the time when she was a little child and
when one day as the king met her In his
rambles he stopped and spoke to her, snd
chucked her under tho chin, as Mrs.
Harrison always related in recalling the
incident.
It was not until she was a married women
of 36 years that she came with her husband
to this country, and for 64 years longer
than the average lifetime of people who
ara considered pretty well on in years
when they die she lived in the United
States. , .
John William Bristow Harrison, whom
Mrs. Harrison married on the 17th of April,
1R.15. In St.. Mark's church. Kensington.
England, was In the dramatic line, and
when he came with his wife to this country'
he joined the dramatic company then en
gaged at Barnum's Museum, at Broadway
and Ann street, where the sky-scraping
St. Paul building now stands. Both Mr.
Harrison and his wife became celebrated
In what were known as monologue - arts,
and Mr. Harrison got much reputation as
an Impromptu -singer, - composing both
the words and the music as he went along
and often .taking somebody In the audience
as the topic and 'inspiration of his song.
The Harrisons were,Jrtng' associated with
Barnura, and with him and In other theatri
cal ventures went all over the country.
Their journeyings'iong ante-doted 'the
time when rollroadsr wore In general use,
and Mrs. JIarrlson;:'used to- relate many
Incidents of. adventures traveling '.n the
west and -south, adventures that Involved
stage coaches and Wfsebnck' riding, many
of them humorous anil -others full of -that
excitement and element of danger which
now has long -gone tut of travel, together
with Its romance. ' ' .
One of the things .which Mrs. Harrison
was particularly fond of recalling was her
scqualntance with Tom Thumb. Lavlnla
Warren, Commodore Nutt and all that by
gone generation of midgets. It was she
who was accustomecj .to Introduce Tom
Thumb and all the! rest of them to the
spectators, and It was her husband who
conceived the Idea of having a public ecret
mony when General Thumb and Miss Lav
lnla Warren were married.. , ,

rlson hed got together In her long lifetime
snd her wide travels wese many of the
