BLOCKS TUB CANAL.
United States May Not Take Up Nlcaragtua.
Route Again.
Washington, Nov. 27. The cabinet
mooting yesterday was devoted almost
exclusively to tho consideration o
tho status of tho reciprocity treaty with
Cuba and tho canal treaty with Colom
bia. Tho hitches that havo occurred
In tho negotiations woro discussed, as
woto oIbo tho prospects of sottlomenk.
Hocretary Hay, whllo prosentig thenr
subject of tho canal negotiations,,
was not ablo to report that
any progroia had beon mado dar
ing tho paat week. In fact, it appears
that tho negotiations havo como to
dead stop, and whllo no such thing as
an ultimatum haB pasted, tho precis
situation may bo described In the state
ment that tho Colombian minister her,
Concha, has distinctly informed Una
state department that ho cannot, in.
behalf of hla government, accept th
last proposition of tho United State
as a basis for a canal treaty. Tbe
stato department hna already lot it be
known that it has como to tho end ol
itB concessions, so tbo chances of m
renown I of tho negotiations In the
near future aro not vory bright.
TIiIb statu of affairs will stimulate
tho negotiations with Nicaragua and
Costa Riaca for the ultornuto route,
but it now appears that tho diplo
matic ropropontatlves of those coun
tries are not disposed to allow them
selves to bo used to coerce Colombia,
and therefore aro doslrous of remaining
in tho background until it shall bo
clearly established that no treaty can
bo mado between Colombia and tbo
United States.
Ono of the Btatomonts of fact in
connection with tho Panama ronte
which has beon brought to tho atten
tion of tho statu department Is that the-
origlnal canal concession will oxplrn in
luui, and It has boon suggested thai
tho Colombian government has that
fact in mind, and is disposed to re
frain from making a treaty now, in ex
pectation that tho franchUo will lapse,
and it thus may bo in a position to
build tho canal itsolf, or to roll a new
concession. Such n course wculd raise
a vory sorinua quuntlou between the
Colombian governmont, the Panama
canal company, tho Frouch government
and tho government of tho United
states as to whethor or not a supple
mentary decree extending tho conces
sion 10 yoars from 1U04 wan valid.
SPANISH WAR CLAIMS.
United States Took the Place of Seal
In Cuba.
Washington, Nov. 27. Tho SpanUh
claims commission has enunciated the
principles by which it will bo governed
in passing upon the various demurrers
which huvo been submitted to itin con
nection with tho claims now under
consideration on account of the war be
tween Hnaln and Cuba. Tim aanaml
nJAls'la-rcid-'dow?! thriK iie--3
responsibility which would have other
wise beon Spain's tho United State is
bound to pay all claims lor which Spain
could havo been hold. It It further
hold that tho Insurrection in Cuba had
gone beyond the control of tho Spanish
government und that it nas not respon
sible for damages done to foreigners by
tho insurgents. If, however, it be
shown that tho Spanish authorities
might havo prevented tho damage done
in utiy particular case by the exercise
of duo diligence tho commission an
nounces that it will hold that Spain in
liable.
Tho commission announces further
that it will take Judicial notica that the
Cuban insurrection paesed from first be
yond tho control of Spain, and ho con
tinued until tho intervention of the
United States. It is further held that
Spain waH entitled to adopt such war
measures for the recovery of her au
thority as aru functioned by the rules
and usuges of international warfare.
If, however, it bo alleged und proved
in anv particular cane that the acts of
tho Spanish authorities or roldlora wore
contrary to curb rules and usuges,
Spain will be held liable in that case.
TIiIh decision does not, however, go
