AMICABLE AGREEMENT.
United States and Great Britain
Reach One On Clayton-Bul-
wer Treaty.

Washington, D. c., Feb. A.
The United States and Great Bri-
tain, it was definitely learned to-
night, have reached an amicable
agreement respecting the opera
tions of the CIayton-Bulwer treaty
as affecting the right of coDstruc-
ton and control by the United
States of the proposed Nicaragua
canal. The result marks the ter
minatiOn of conferences between
the officials of the State Depart
meDt and LordPauncefote Of fully
a years duration, during which a
number of meetings were held and
the subject fully discussed by the
representatives of the government.
Great Britain agrees to nodiica-
ton of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
by which she practically releases
any claims respecting a legal con-
troll Of :he Nicaragua canal after it
shall have bOen constructed. The
result therefore is to eliminate
that feature Of the treaty bearing
upou the subject of dual con
troll and to leave the United States
free to construct and thereafter
control this great iuteroceanic
waterway. In all discussions
which been had, both in Con-
gresS and out of it for a long
number of years over the proposed
canal the question of England'S
rights under the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty has formed a prominent
feature and on more than one oc-
casion has given rise to the query
whether or not the United States
government had the moral right to
provide for construction Of the
canal without a modification of the
treaty. From the same authorize
tive quarter it is ascertained that
England has made no demands for
a quid pro quo for her abandon
msnt of whatever rights she may
have had under the treaty, and
which she now promises to relin-
quish. Just what shape the agree
ment between the government in
terested is to take is not stated,
though it is assumed that some
formal instrument will be drafted
and sent to tie Senate for its con
frnatiOn.
