Feeling Of indifference and idea That it May

(By the Associated Press

London, Nov. 2-The first official
statement Of any kind made for month

been obtained by the Associated Press.
1t confirms the fact that Lord Paunce-
fote, the British Ambassador to the
United States, when he lands in New
York today, will have with him the
draft of a new treaty, abrogating the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty, which is in
every particular satisfactory to Lord
Salisbury's Cabinet.

British possessions. While in line with
the views latterly attributed by special

General Rafael Reyes, delegate of CO.

Ex-senator Davis, however, declined the

on the curb, just before the close. with
the result that the last mayoralty bet
placed on the ''curb' was made at even

roe Doctrine meets with direct denial
by the Foreign Office. For these and
other reasons Lord Pauncefote is not
likely to afix his signature to the docu-
ment until majority of the Senate
shall have had full opportunity for
studying Great Britain's proposal.
In the meanwhile, there exists here a
species Of Indifference and a feeling
that after all, the new treaty may be
pigeon holed on account of some unex-
pected Senatorial objection, though this
would create the keenest
Ipointment despite its present stoi-

most pronounced among the Populists,
