Washington March 1.-THE long eX-
pected answer from the British gov
ernment to the state departments COM
munication on the action of the Senate
upon the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, was
returned at noon to-day. Lord Paunce-
fote the British ambassador, had al
ready acquainted Secretary Hay with
the fact that he had received COM

subject and it is believed it has been in
his possession for several days. Secre-
tary Hay had acquired general
knowledge of the character OF the
British response.
Lord Pauncefote came to the state
department at noon by appointment.

form, an instruction from Lord Lans-
downe, the British minister of foreign
affairs, to Lord Pauncefote and on his
instruction he left a copy with Secre-
tary Hay. The secretary and the am
bassador were closeted together for halt
an hour. At the conclusion Of the con-
ference, it was stated that the instruc-
ton to Lord Pauncefote was to notify
the government of the United States

it's way clear to the acceptance OF the
Senate amendments.
These amendments were treated IN
detail at some length in argumentative
fashion, the purpose Of the British gov
ernment being to show that 1t had
sound reason for declining to accept
them. After disposing Of the details,
the note concluded with an expression
of regret that such a course was forced

proposition. nor was any opening left
