ENGLAND'S REPLY.
Views on the Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty Officially Set Forth.

Washington. D. c., March 26-The an
Swer of the British government express
ing its inability to accept the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in the form amended
by the United States senate was made
public today. 1t is in the form of a COM
Inunication from Lord Lansdowne, Brit
ish minister of foreign affairs. to Lord
Pauncefote. and asks the latter to read
the dispatch to the secretary of state and
to leave copy in his hands.
Lord I4ansdowne begins by showing that
there was no desire on the part of the
British government to change the Clay
ton-BulWer treaty. But some of It's pro
visions he says, should be regarded with
States. and in the president's message Of
December. 1898, it. was urged that the ma
than ever for the s.control'' Of the pro
iected highway by the government of the
United States.
Lord Pauncefote made inquiry of the
secretary of state as to this attitude Of
the president, the result being sunnmar-
lied by Lord Lansdowne as follows:
In reply. the views of the United States
government were very frankly and openly
explained You were most enphatfcally
assured that the president had no inten-
ton whatever of ignoring the Clayton
BulWer convention and that he would

items. to obtain the consent of Great
Britain to such a. modification of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty as without affecting
would enable the great object in view to
be accomplished for the benefit of the
commerce of the world
The result however. of the discussions,
Lord Iansdowne says. was the treaty
which Mr. Hay handed to Lord Paunce-
fote in January. 1899 The British govern
ment was not yet prepared to accept the
treaty, as serious difficulties had arisen
IN seeking to arrange affairs then pend
ing before the joint high commission and
majestys government could sanction any
convention for amending the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty, as the opinion of this coun-
try would hardly support them in making
a concession which would be wholly to
the benefit the United States at a time
when they appeared to be SO little in
c}1ned to come to q satisfactory settle
ment in regard TO the Alaskan frontier
Later the Introduction of the Nicaragua
canal bill in congress revived attention to
the treaty and it was accepted Lord
LanSdOWne saying:
Her majesty'S government, after due
consideration, determined to accept the
convention Internationally as a signal
proof of their friendly disposition and of
their desire not to impede the execution

importance to the people of the United
States.
