ClaytOn-Bulwer Treaty.
Conclusion of Mr.. Blaine's letter.
The following is a summary Of the changes
necessary to meet the views Of this gov

Great Britain and the United States agree
to make no acquisition of territory in Cen

voluntarily coded to the United States by the
Central American States is not to be regarded
