II the Clavton-Bulwer Treaty had been
sbrogated since the date Of her treaty
with Nicaragua il would not have entitled
Great Britain TO claim the restoration OF
the statu quo and the resumption Of her
alleged rights as suzerain over the Mos
quito Indians. which was relinquished TO
Nicaragua BY later treaty. Nicaragua
Was not a bhILN W Alf Alag AslA u ~ 'Ft
Treaty, but. as between the United States
and Great Britain. its revocation or abro-
cation would have cancelled the prohibition
in Article / against the right OF Great

Its disappesrauce leaves us free to con-
sfruct and control the canal excluding anv
right Of Great Britain to interfere.
The other disputed matters relating tc
British aggression in Honduras and Qua
temala we're all settled by these treaties
that were so hopefully welcomed by Mr
Cass
"In making these treaties Sir william
Core OrseIay did not remove all the con-
tertious Of our Government a. to the al

Since 1850 the point and stress Of our
objections to this treaty have been directed
TO the embarrassment il has occasioned tc
our efforts to construct and control ca
nal through Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
We are no longer contending against
British rights or interests settled in the
treaties With Nicaragua. Honduras. and
Guatemala concluded since 1860 and have
not manifested anv disposition 10 uDsettfe
those matters. They were referred to in
our Diplomatic papers onIv as proofs Of
an unfriendlv attitude OF Great Britain 10
