FAVORED IN CENTRAL. AMERICA.
THE HAY-PAUNCEFoTE TREATY MEETING
WITH GENERAL APPROVAL.

Washington, Feb S.-oficiaI dispatches have
been received by several of the Central Ameri-
can representatives in Washington stating that
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty meets with general
approval throughout Central America These
assurances come not only from the two coun-
tries most directly concerned, but also from
Guatemala and Honduras, which, to some ex-
tent, share in the prospective advantages the
canal VIII bring. So far Costa Rica is con-
cerned, Minister Calvo expresses the most
hearty approval of the new treaty and the mes
sages he has received from his Government
show that this sentiment is held by IT. AS the
proposed route Of the waterway is by way Of
the San Juan River. in which and the adjacent
territory Costa RIGA is interested, this friendly
attitude is received with satisfaction by off,
Gals here. The bill before Congress empowers
the President TO negotiate with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica for the right of way for the canal,
and the friendly assurances now conveyed are
taken as an evidence that these negotiations will
be received in a cordial spirit.
