Senator Hanna of Ohio resumed his Isthmian Canal debate in Washington, contesting Mitchell’s Nicaragua notes and a Hanna commission report. He argued Panama is feasible with modern engineers, questioned Capt Merry’s Nicaragua stance, warned of volcano dangers near Lake Nicaragua, and cited a forecast of volcanic risk while supporting seafaring master testimony favoring Panama for 400 foot ships. Secretary Hay letters on earthquakes in Panama were referred to the Interoceanic Canals Committee.
