TIE CENTRAL AMERICAN TREATY.--lWe per-
ceiye that the Committee on Foreign Relations
has presented favorable report on the Central
American treaty. Although this instrument Is
not in all respects what we might have claimed,
we are rejoiced at the prospect of its ratification
by the Senate AS We cannot get rid Of the
Clayton-Bulwcr treaty without mourning the
charge of bad faith, it is better that wt should
concur in convention which modi6ds and
ncu,ralizes some of its most obnoxious provisions.
There is another consideration, too, which imparts
10 the new treaty peculiar value at the present
time The important events which are at present
