TIE Authentic copy, which has litely come to
hand, Of the notifications proposed by the Con.
erets Of Nicaragua il the Cats Yrssarr treaty does
Lot vary very materially from the statements hith.
erto published.
The orisiosl treaty provided that 10 tunnsgs or
other duties should be levied at the ports to be

ton in Nicsrsgus- The Nicarsgusn Congress pro-
po.es that only such duties shall be levied as may
be sgreed upon between the two Governments.
There dots 70. appear to be any reasonable objes-
ton 10 this modification. 1t is by no means impos-
sbe that some expenditures may be necessary for
the security Cf the route, to which it may be no
more than reasonable that all who enjoy the adyan-
tsge Of il should contribute, and the consent of the
United States made Necessary for their imposition
is sufficient guaranty that, if imposed a. al, they
shsl be reasonable and just.
The authority given to the United States By the
oIeI al treaty to transport troops the Isthmus
it is propostd to modify, ft BY requiring previous
notice to the Nicarsguan Government; and, sec.
Oncly, by provision that the de.tinstion of tn ?
territories Of the United States, or at least that
troops sbal Lot be cent BY this route agaiR,t the
Spanish American republics or other n,tions, with
whom Nicaragua may be at peace.
This provision seems 10 US just and reasonable,
since if it we're omitted it would be in our power TO
make Nicaragua a party to all our quarres. We
do not seek the privilege Of transporting troops
fha Tstb pis to
lions sg,iLst cur ne ghboI.. The sole object is to
facilitate military comnut icstion with California
and Oregon. To object TO this proposed alteration
would subject US TO the imputs.on OF wishing to
use the territory Of Nicsugus a, brifge 10 the
conquest Of South Ame,ics Il would only be to
shoId new occasion for suspicion aad to strengthen
that feeling ssaitst US which prevails in all the
Spanish American States.
TIE proposed modification Of the sixteenth arti-
cle, BY which the United States is not 10 employ
force f tie prot, eton Of tse Istbmus route except
when called upon to do 90 by the Nc.rsgun Govern
me nt was doubtless c.ated BY the de., that other
Wi,e the ,overe gn:y OfNearssu, over the Isthmus
would be abandoned. Tlis provision for calling in
the sd Of the United Sss,es TO protect their route
is ade, We suppose, not 30 much Win the idea
that this interference msy be practically rq1ired,
d. in trro,eu, or by way o. warning to those who
ght be disposed to interrupt il. In this point Of
view the proposed amendment might serve equally
well with the or nal provision.
The ony other charge proposed to be made is a
stipulation that the Government Of the United
States shall prevent the setting on foot OF N ltary
eIreditiors frt their territories against Ncarssua,
evsn though the preteIt be ret Up Of aiding some
one of tie parties by which that country may be
divided. As We shall thus only stpulase IN fact,
to put our own laws in force, it does not appear
low We can with ally grace object to this adj iihou
TO the treaty. When We remember that The
TiM sit Route has been interrupted AID broken "
