HAY-PAUNCEFOTE
 TREATY SIGNED
United States Now Has Free
 Hand Regarding the Canal. :
SOME SURPRISE IN LONDON
Great Britain Readily Agreed as Clay ton-Bulwer Treaty Was Made When Entirely Different
 Conditions Existed

Washington, February 1.-The Hay Pauncefote treaty, amendatory of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty relative to the con- struction of the Nicaragua canal was signed today at the state department by Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote for Great Britain. Though the consummation of the treaty occupied some time owing to the necessity for comparing the two drafts, there was very little formality about the ceremony, and convention that is expected ito be for the United States at least of the most far-reaching importance and value, came into being without any theatrical sur roundings.
 There were present, besides Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote only MT. Brom- 2 ley, honorary attache of the British em- bassy; Sydney Smith, chief of the diplo- matic bureau, and William Gwynn, the faithful and discreet messenger of the de- partment of state, who placed the seal upon this convention, as he has upon nearly every treaty of importance to which the United States has been party for the last thirty years.
 MT. Smith carried the freshly signed treaty to the white house. where the letter of transmtttal was signed by the president so the treaty could be dispatched at once to the Tinted States senate for ratification rrha letter of transmittal was purely for unal. simply commenting the treaty to the senate without entering upon any argument to demonstrate it's great value.

Jondon. February 5.-While the puolica- lion of the dispatch from Washington re- eardtng the argpulllng of the Ciayton-Bul- 1yer Nicaragua canal treaty and sunSCtut- ing for it the HayPauncefote treaty caused considerable surprise, 1t was fuIly rcnfrmed at A9e foreign office, where It is said the Associated Press Washington dsspateh is correct in every particular
 Tne apparent ceeTity dn realching an scrcensset is explained by the fact alIat the whole matter practically settled between Secretary Hay and Ambassador Pauncefose in 1898.
 About d fortnight ago, in consequence of .iire attitude of the senate, Mr. Choate, the United States ambassador here, re ceived instruct ctions to press the conclusions of the negotiations. The British cabinet considered tine matter and received Can- ada's sanction to grant the United States request The attitude of the cabinet con- sisted in the belief that the Clayton-BulWer treaty was made when the conditions gov erning the nations were so utterly differ crit that it was out of date and impract1- cable Believing the present most in osyportune time for bargaining and hag- gliag, the British ministers decided to give 1he United States a free hand.

We cannot afford to wink at fraud"

NO ESTIMATE CAN BE MADE !
Of the Loss of Life or the Damage to
Property

Chicago, September 12.-The follow
ing statement was received at II o'clock
tonight:
Galveston. Texas, September II.
Charles S. Diehl, General Manager AS
sociated Press. Chicago.
A summary of the conditions prevail
ing at Galveston is more than human
intellect can master. Briefly stated,
the damage to property is anywhere
between $15.0O0.OO0 and $40, 1000, 600. The
loss of life cannot be computed. No
lists could be kept and all is simple
guess work. Those thrown out to sea
and buried on the ground wherever
found will reach the horrible total Of
at least 5000 souls
My estimate of the loss on the island
of the city of Galveston and the imme-
diate surrounding district is between
1000 and 5000 deaths. 1 do not make
this statement in fright or excitement
The whole story will never be told be-
cause it cannot be told. The necessi-
ties of these living are total. Not a
single individual escaped property loss.
The property on the island is wrecked; |;
fully one-half totally swept out Of ex-
istence altogether. What our needs are
can be computed by the world at
large by the statement herewith sub
mitted much better thasl could posi-
bly, summarize them. The help must
be immediate.

over the eastern portion Of the country.
Cleveland, September 1.-THE tail
end OF the West Indian hurricane,
which swept over lake Erie last night,

down with them 10 persons. and a num-
Der Of other vessels have reached port

STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR
Loss of Life Placed at 1000 and of
Property S1O,OOO,OOO

Austin. Texas. September 12.-Gov-
ernor Sayers today made the following
statement to the Associated Press on
the flood situation;
Conditions at Galveston are fully
as bad as reported. Communication,
however. has been reestablished be-
tween the island and the mainland and
hereafter transportation Of supplies
will be less difficult
1.-The work Of clearing the city is
progressing fairly we'll and Adjutant
General Scurry. under direction Of the
mayor. is patrolling the city for the
purpose of preventing depredations.
The most conservative estimate as to
tn number Of deaths places them at
1000. Contributions from citizens Of
this state and also from other states
are coming in rapidly and literally
and it is confidently expected that
within the next ten days the work Of
restoration by the people of Galveston
will have begun in good earnest and
with energy and success. OF course
the destruction OF property has been
very great-not less than $4,000, 600
but it is hoped and believed that even
this great loss will be overcome
through the energies and self-reliance
of the people"
