FUTURE OF THE TREATY.
ONLY AMENDMENTS NEED BE SUBMITTED
TO GREAT BRITAIN

TO GREAT BRITAIN
Washington, Dec. 20.-Inquiry at the State De-
pertinent to the future of the Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty. just ratified with amendments by the
Senate. develops the fact that contrary to the
common understanding, the document does not
need to be returned at this stage to the British
Government. even if the President is of a mind
to go on with the negotiations Secretary Hay
will await an indication of the Presidents wishes
in the matter, and if the latter as has been al
ready indicated by official statements, concludes
10 give the British Government an opportunity
to pass on the amendments. then the State De-
partment will forward TO that Government not
the treaty itself but the terms of the amend
ments. In diplomatic language, the British Gov
eminent will be informed of the amendments
According 70 the statement Of the officials of the
State Department. reasonable time must then
be allowed 10 Great Britain within which TO ac-
cept reject them. AS to what would consti-
tute reasonable" time direct expression
be mad but attention directed 20 the
fact that the United States Government had had
the treaty under consideration for a year and
that the amendments made to-day were beyond
dispute vital.
The Ministers from Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
were in consultation with Secretary HAY to-day
with reference to the action of the United States
Senate the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty Neither
of the Ministers was prepared to admit knowI-
edge Of the intentions of his Government if the
treaty is finally adopted in its amended form
The protocols drawn up between themselves and
Secretary Hay provided for the acquisition by
the United States Government of such rights in
Nicaragua and Costa Rica as may be necessary
for the construction Of the canal, are broad in
scope probably purposely made so by Secretarv
action. Therefore. 1t is probable they NAV be
sufficient in themselves, and without further
amendment, to constitute the bases for the prem
aration of the treaties which must precede any
canal construction by the United States
The State Department is about 70 submit a
comprehensive answer 70 the inquiries OF Sens-
tor Tilman and Senator Morgan respecting the
exact position OF the Panama Canal Company
and the nature Of the tenders that have been
exchanged between II and the United States
Government, with the purpose of supplying Con-
gress with material for a choice between the
Panama route and the Nicaragua route IL proh-
ably will be shown, among other things that the
Canal Commission, or the State Department
thought SS3.000.0O0 was sufficient 10 paw for All
, the rights and properties which the Panama
Canal Company could turn over to he United
States in the event that the choice fell on IFS
route. The canal company regarded this sum
as ridiculously inadequate
