New York. April ia special TO the
Herald from Washington says: specihc
provision for the neutrality OF the pro-
noeed lsthminan canal VIII be made In
,he new treaty 20 be signed by Secy
Uav and Lord Pauncefote, British am
bassador.
This decision has been arrived AZ by
tho President and Sccy. Hay after
Inc most exhaustive consideration OF
ARGUMENTS pro and con, which has con-
WINGED them that the highest interests
Of the country demand the application
az the principal Of neutrality.
From the outset ~ the negotiations,
Great britain has insisted upon that
nrlnciple Of neutrality. The best naval
and military advice which the admins
,ration has been able 10 get has shown
the necessity of naturalization, and the
,,ievs az the military and naval experts
have been supported by distinguished
brlsts Treaties between Nicaragua
and other countries and Costa Rica
and foreign sfetas contain specific pro-
visions regarding the neutrality OF the
canal or according % foreign states the
most favored nation privileges The
treaty between the United States and
Nicaragua contains lIVNlHlOH Nlhi
this government agrees 70 extend their
protection 10 all such routes OF commu-
nlcatlon as aforesaid and TO guarantee
the neutrality and innocent use Of the
same"
The Clayton Bulwer treaty also pro-
ylded Tor the recognition of the gen
eral principle of neutrality" Even n
the CLAYTON BulWer treaty were abro-
gated. Il IS held the remaining treaties
in force would require the application
OF the principle OF neutrality to the
canal
Another and most important reason
FOR inclusion of a provision declaring
the canal neutral. Il the attitude OF
Nicaragua and Costa Rica. II IS I'M
derstuod that these two governments
have indicated plainly 70 this govern
ment their unwillingness 10 cele the
right of way across their territory I'M
