THE HAY-pAUNcEFo rE TREATY.
Senate Considers it in Executive Session. No
Provision For FOrtifying Canal.
(Bv the Associated Press. }

Washington, Dec. Sin executive ses-
sion today the Senate considered the HAY
pauncefote Treaty. The treaty ana the
amendment to it suggested by the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations were read at
The instance of Senator Lodge. who TOOK
charge of the treaty on behalf or the
committee He then made a speech IN
exclamation of the treaty and urged us
speedy ratification as necessary pre-
liminary to the consideration OF the Nj
caraguan Canal Bill.
Senator Beveridge asked whether It was
not true that the abrogation of the Clay
tom Bulwer Treaty would have the erect
of permitting Great Britain to acquire
property IN the area affected. Senator
Lodge replied in the negative, saying that
it wcs we'll known to all that the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty while abrogating the
CLAYTON Bulwer Treaty so far as it APP
plies to the United States and binds TINS
country, still leaves England bound to
the terms.
Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky said,
that most people appear to think that
this amendment provides for the fortiti-
cation Of the canal. whereas 1t does
nothing of the kind He claimed that
it only provides in the most general way
for the protection of the rights OF the
United States. He called attention to the
fact that while the treaty of CONSTANT
nople applying to the Suez Canal had
been used as the basis of the pending
treaty only the first seven articles OF 1t
had been incorporated in the Hay
Pauncefote agreement, leaving out artl-
Gle ten of that agreement which gives to
the Sultan of Egypt the right to defend
the interests of that country in connec-
ton with the Suez Canal.
Senator Lodge said he did not contend
that the amendment conferred specifically
the power to fortify the canal. The great
benefit of the amendment was found he
said, in it's providing that the canal 'shall
be free and o9en in time of war as in
time of peace to the vessels of commerce
and OF war of all nations"
The amendment. he further said was
substantially in the language of article
fen of the Constantinople treaty.
In conclusion he urged early action on
the treaty as of great Importance, be-
cause of the general desire to go on with
the Nicaraguan canal legislation.

TO BUY OUT CRAMPS
Vickers Sons and Maxim
Would Purchase their
Business.
CBy the Associated Press)


New York. Dec. 5.-The Evening Post
saws:
According to a report that reached
Wall Street today. Vickers Sons ana
Maxim, limited. of England, have insti-
tuted negotiations for the purchase OF the
Midvalle Steel Works and the Cramp Ship
building Company, of Philadelphia. The
purpose of the English Company is be-
lieved to be to secure share OF the
United States Government contracts for
warships, armor plate and ordnance
The report has it that 81 300, 600 has
|already been offered for the Midvalle Com
pany, and that the Cramp purchase will
probably be partly effected by issuing
stock of the new corporation to be formed
when the deal has been completed
ut is said that final arrangements for
the deal are to be attempted next week
in this city, when Charles H. Cramp will
come here 20 meet a New York banker,
who will represent the English company.
"A well informed man in steel matters
said:
More than a year ago John Crossley,
managing director of Vickers Sons and
Maxim, came to America to purchase the
Cramp shipyards. At that time it was
understood that the negotiations fell
through. Beginning these negotiations a
second time means probably that a pur-
chase will be made. Vickers Sons and
Maxim are the giants of the business

HELPING OUT COSTA RICO.
United States Chuiser Detroit Watch
ing Hostile Military Expedition.

NEW-YoRK. April TO- A special to
the Herald from Washington. says;
A Nicaraguan military expedition is
reported to have landed at Chiriqui
Colombia, and the cruiser Detroit has
left Port Limon. Costa Rica, for that
point.
Acting Secretary OF the Navy Allen
said tonight that he did not know
there was any connection between the
two events. but II is believed the De-
troit has gone to Chiriqui to observe
the conduct of the Nicaraguan expedi-
tion.
The American minister to Costa Rica
and Nicaragua and the commanders of
the cruisers Philadelphia and Detroit
are acting under instructions to pre-
serve the peace OF Central America by
every proper means.
Chiriqui is not far from the southern
boundary of Costa Rica. 1t has been
believed by the state department that
the tension between Nicaragua and
Costa Rica was very much reduced as
a result of the good Offices OF Minister
Merry, and the San Jose government,
apparently thinking there was no fur
ther danger Of hostilities, began to
discharge the troops hastily levied and
TO reduce the guard established along
the northern frontier. Information re-
T.
expedition was carried to Chiriqui by
the Nicaraguan transport Momotombo.
so that the movement is regarded as
a government one for which Nicaragua
cannot avoid responsibility.
In some quarters it has been looked
on as u filibustering expedition. in
tended to aid the revolutionists in the
Colombia government. 1t was pointed
out. however. that the seat Of the rev.
olution in Colombia was in the state
OF Panama and not In Chiriqui.
There is reason to believe that Costa
Rica was advised Of the despatch Of the
Nicaraguan expedition and the inform
alton may have been given to Com
mander Duncan Kennedy. of the De-
troit by the Costa Rican authorities.
II Colombia permitted the landing of
the expedition and allow the Nicara-
guans TO use its territory as base Of
operations against Costa Rica. the lat
ter country will have good grounds for
damages against the Bogotta govern
ment. Having been informed Of the
landing Of the expedition at Chiriqui,
1t Is presumed that Costa Rica has un-
dertaken measures to defend herself
from attack.
II is not believed that Commander !
Kennedy will forcibly interfere with
the Nicaraguan expedition but he may |
use his good Offices to prevent It from |
carrying out any hostile design.

More Vessels to Be Detached to Carry

NEW YORK, April IA special to

Secretary Root has requested the Navy
department to detail several more
small vessels OF the Eagle type to sur
vey Cuban harbors.
The request is made at the sugges-
ton of the governor general Of Cuba,
Major General Leonard Wood, who is
preparing for a typographical survey
Of the whole island, with local or
ganization, which will become a per-
manent department of the local gov
ernment when that is established.
The navy already has the Yankton

bors and as soon as the Vixen finishes
survey at San Juan, San Bias Bay
Colombia, she will be sent to assist
them.
General Wood, in his letter to the
war department Gays all the Spanish
charts are exceedingly defective and
untrustworthy.
