BR1ToN READY TO REPLY.
will shortly Send Answer 10 the Ca
nal Treaty Amendments

London, Feb. 9.-It has been learned
that reply will shortly be sent to the
United States Nicaragua canal project.
1t will not comply with the senate's de-
mands. Neither Will it be in the nature
of flat refusal. tho for purposs of inn
mediate construction it will be tanta-
mount to such a refusal.
1t will consist. mainly, in a counter
'proposa. or proposals, likely to necessi-
tate extended negotiations.
The nature of the proposal is not yet
ascertainable. Lord Pauncefote will
probably be the medium thru which
the answer will be sent and by whom
the subsequent negotiations VIII be
chiefly conducted.
In British official opinion 1t is likely
that several months will elapse before
the matter reaches a conclusion, by
which time the Hay Pauncefote treaty
will have elapsed. on the bass of the
senate's amendments,
The British counter proposals are now
formulating, and II is hoped an entirely
new agreement satisfactory to both
countries will eventually be reached.
Answer Already Forecasted.
Washington. Feb. 9-Before the Sleath
of the queen the British government
had agreed to a reply to the amend
ments of the senate on the Hay treaty
This reply, 1t was understood then, wac
In the nature of q partial assent of the
senate amendments coupled with some
new proposals on the part of Grea. Bri-
tain. chiefly intended to preserve the
self-respect of that country.
So far as the general principle was
concerned it was understood that Great
Britain would acceGe to the position of
this country. 1t was believed then by
the state department that the British
answer would soon be submitted, but
just a this time came the death of the
queen, which resulted in the ternpora ry
suspension of all diplomatic work.
Now it is understood that the original
basis of agreement has been revived.
and 1t is expected that as soon as the
necessary Instructions can be received
by Lord Pauncefote he will open neRo-
tiations which will in effect adopt the
senate ameHdments. but will suggest
new parag raj phs recognizing to some ex-
tent the right of Great Britain to act
aS an American power and binding this
country not to close the canal at any
time except when the United States
shall be at war
The British foreign Office, 1t is said
takes the position that owing to its
great preponderance of strength in both
commercial and naval marine Great
Britain will be the greatest gainer from
the opening of the Nicaraguan canal
whore neutrality will be insured 90 far
as Great Britain is concerned at all
times with the single exception of the
existence of war with the United
States.
In the latter case no treaty could bind
either country anyway.
The negotiations are not likely to
reach an acute stage before the ad-
jcurnment Of the senate. 80 that the
question of the acceptance or rejection
lof the new British proposal may not
come up for settlement until next win
