FREE TO BUILD CANAL.
Great Britain Agrees TO Sole Control by
United States -MOdifies Existing
Treaty.


Washington, Especial. The United States
and Great Britain, have reached an amicable
agreement respecting the operations OF the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty as affecting the right
Of construction and control by the United
States of the proposed Nicaragua Canal.
The result marks the termination of con-
ferences between the officials Of the State
Department and Lord Pauncefote OF fully
years Duration during which number OF
| meetings were held and the subject fully dis
3ussed by the representatives Of the govern
| ments Interested. Great Britain agrees to a
modification Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
by which she practically relinquishes any
claims respecting a dual control OF the
Nicaragua Canal after it shall have been
constructed The result, therefore, is to
leave the United States freet to construct and
thereafter control this great interoceanie
waterway.
In all the discussions which have been
bad, both in Congress and out Of 1t, for
long number of years over the proposed
canal the question OF England's rights un-
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty has formed a
prominent feature and on more than one
occasion has given rise to the query whether
or not the United States Government had the
moral right to provide for the construction
of the canal without a modification OF the
treaty.
From the same authoratlve quarter 1t is
ascertained that England has made no de-
mands for quid pro quo for her abandon
ment Of whatever rights she may have had
under the treaty and which she now promises
to relinquish. Just what shape the agree
ment between the governments interested in
1t is to take is not stated, though it Is as
sumed that some formal instrument will be
drafted and sent to the Senate for its CON
! Grnation.

London, (By Cable 1.-The remarkable
declaration of Mr.. Wyndbam, OF the War
Office, in the House OF Commons that Great
Britain will have in a fortnight 100000 reg
ulars in South Africa, 1000 Canadians and
Australians, and 10000 South African vol
unteers, is received with wonderment or

parison this is the largest force Great Brit
ain has ever put in the field. At the end OF
the Crimean war she had scraped together
$4,000 men. Wellington at Waterlooo had
25,OO0
The general tone OF the morning papers Is
that his figures will astonish the country.
Roughly speaking, only $4,000 men are at
the front. Ten thousand others have been
lost, and ten thousand are shut up at Lady
smith
Excluding these. there are 10000 troops
who have not yet been In action, In addition
to those at sea. Why so many electives
have not yet been engaged is explained by
the lack OF land transportation and the or
ganization of supplies, to which Lord Rob
erts is devotng his experience, and Lord
Kitchener his genius for details.
1t seems as though the weight Of these
masses must destroy the equilibrium which
now holds tho British forces stationary
wherever they are in contact With the Boet
army.
Lack of transportation and organization
will not explain adequately why. when gen.
erals at the front request reinforcements,
they get them in rather small numbers.
knowledge is slowly penetrating to London
that large garrisons must be kept in Cape
Colony, to hold down the Cape Dutch, who,
as everyone knows, outnumber the British
residents three TO two.
Cable scraps received during the last
twelve hours do not further illuminate the
military operations. II ia believed in soma

Kohbe's expedition in the Islands of Luzon,
Leyte and Samar has occupied permanently
and garrisoned nine towns with the Forty
third and Forty-seventh Regiments.
This has placed on the market 10000
bales of hemp, which had been held at the
towns.
A thousand Filipinos armed with rifles
and over five thousand armed with wooden
swords, bows and arrows were encountered
during the trip.
The troops killed 70 natives. II OF whom
had rifles. The others were villagers, armed
with wooden swords The American loss
was one man killed and nine men wounded.
The Americans captured $4,000 In gold Of
the Fiipinos' money and 40 muzzle-loading
brass cannon. At Calbagog and Samar the
natives evacuated the towns, the Americans
chasing iighting and scattering them to the
mountains
At Catbalogan Lukban the Tagalo gen
eral, fired the place with Kerosene just be-
fore the Americans landed, and then fought
with cannon and rifles from the hills encir-
cling the town. When the Filipinos were
driven out the Americans did their best to
save the town, fighting the fire several hours.
Thirty stone and go other houses, half the
business portion of the place, we're con
sumed. The hesolders prevented the ire from
spreading.
The next day Major Allen, with three COM
panies OF the Forty-third Regiment, pursued
Lukban to the mountain Businesses and
thence to the coast town where Lukban was
heading in hopes Of escaping. Lukban by
taxing the natives, is said to have accunu-
lated 100000 in gold. His capture is prob
able
At Takloban, Island OF Leyte. the natives
evacuated the town and the Americans pur-
sued them to tho hills. Several fleeing nom
combatants were killed, including three
