NO BACKING DOWN.
The President and Cabinet Unanimously
I'm Favor of the Hay-Pauncefore Treaty
Regarding the Canal

Washington, Feb. 27.-As there
have been many rumors about the at
titude of the administration in regard
to the Hay-Pauncefote convention, it
may be stated as the result of care
full inquiry that the president and the
cabinet are unanimous in it's support:
that they all consider it provisions the
best that could have been obtained
and the best now obtainable; that
consequently they all desire it's early
ratification; that there is no intention
of withdrawing it, and no belief that
it can be amended to any great extent
without destroying all hope of it's rat
ification.
Furthermore, it is the opinion of
Secretaries Olney, Day and Hay, in
which they say they have the support
of the best international lawyers of
the country. that the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty is in full force and effect, and
that it cannot legally be got rid of
except by mutual consent. If the
treaty now before the senate is re-
jected, in the opinion of the admins
tration, no legislation can be had for
the building of an Isthmian canal, ex-
cept through the reputation of the
Clayton-Bulwer compact.
