Just before noon the American and Span
ish commissioner, General Castellanos, the

Britain Is Willing

LONDON, Dec. 23..-There seems to be
little doubt that Great Britain will agree
to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The
temper of the Cabinet and public opinion,
which largely influences the governments
policy, points to such action, though no def
mite understanding with the United States
has yet been reached.
Great Britain desires that the Nicaragua
canal be constructed and is willing that the
United States should control it if the
United States guarantees its neutrality and
safeguards British interests. The repre-
sentations from Washington that the Brit
ish ambassador there, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, has been instructed to negotiate the
abrogation of the treaty are incorrect,
though it is likely he will soon receive in
structions to that effect. The impression
here is that the British foreign office and the
United States charge d'affaires, Henry
White, incidental to his visits to cabinet
ministers, will arrange the basis of action.
Mr.. White spent part of the week with the
Marquis of Salisbury at Hatfield house and
he goes today with his family to spend
Christmas week with the Duke of Devon
shire at Chatsworth house, Derbyshire, the
country seat of the duke, who is lord chan
cellor to the council. Here Mr. White will
meet another influential minister, Lord
George Hamilton, the secretary of state for
India. Anglo-American questions naturally
will be discussed
