Navy report on the progress of the Panama Canal, including maps and photographs.

W. W. Kimball recommends a plan for constructing a canal in Panama that will require the least amount of resources to protect and defend it from other countries. Kimball believes a canal in Nicaragua could be better because America would be able to have better control over it. He thinks it will be easier, diplomatically speaking, to build a canal there as well. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty has already made it easier to build a canal there than in Panama. He will always be available to give President Roosevelt opinions on the matter.
