President McKinley is in favor of open
ing negotiations witli Great Britain for
the puproae of modifying the Ciayton-
Bnlwer treaty so as to permit the con
struction and control of the Nicaragua
canal by the United States.
Should congrees doling the present
session fail to enact the pending Morgan
bill the president rite favors entering
into negotiations with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica looking to the construction
of the canal under the auspices sud oon-
tro) of the UnitetTStatee.
On the authority of a high official of
the administration it is stated that there
tgjibsolutely no foundation for the re
port that Great Britain, through Sir
Julian Paunceiete, lias protested to the
state department against that feature
ol the president’s message dealing with
the canal question. On the contrary,
the authorities have every reason to be
lieve that the British government will
consent to any reasonable modification
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty that the
president may desire, so as to remove
the obstacles which it places in the
way for the control of the canalby this
government.
