X london, pso. M.-Thsre seems to Pc
little doubt thst Great Britain VIII
hgree TO abrogate the Clayton-Bulwsr
treaty. Theitemper Of the cabinet and
public opinion, which largely influences
The governments policy, points to such
potion. though no definite understand
ing with the United States he's yet
been reached.
Great Britain desires that the Mica
Fsgusn canal be constructed, and Il
willing that the United States should
pontrot Il the United States guarantees
IL neNtrality and safeguards British
interests.
The reports from Warrington that
the. ritish ambassador there. Sir Ju-
Aiani Pauncefote. has been Instructed
10 Negotiate the abrogation Of the
kxefty, are incorrect, though ills likely
Asfwin soon receive Instructions to that
Aabot.
The Impression here Is that the Brit
lab foreign Office and the United States
charge d'a6aires, Mr.. Henry White, In
kddental to his visits to cabinet minis-
fsrs, Will arrange the basis OF action.
Il. White spent part OF the week With
