HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY. Rep'y of British Government to Senate Amendments Will Be Delivered In a Few Days. LONDON. March 9. The reply of the British government to the note con veying the amendments of the United Slates senate to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty should be formally delivered by the British ambassador at Washington to Secretary Hay within a few days. Th; foreign office here did not origin ally contemplate delaying the British answer until now. The plan appears to have be?n to transmit the answer pre vious to the date on which the treaty lapsed which, according to the British view of the ca9. would have put the cause of Its lapsing on the senate. The main object of the British gov ernment throughout Is to make an en tirely new arrangement. At no stage of the proceedings has there been any inclination to accept the senate's amendment. Great-Britain has no intention of mod ifying the Clayton-Bulwer treaty with out a satisfactory quid pro quo.

"The government say that the de partments of Cauca, Antl(Hula. and Santander are completely pacified, yet It has to support large armlea every where In order to defend the territory. "The r?volutonists are employing tactics similar to those of the Boer. In the meantime the dictatorial.-, have given to the war the most cruel and bloody features. They set the towns on fire, abu? the women, torture the chil dren and the old men, and boast In their official reports of not giving quar-t- r to any of those who have the mis fortune to fall Into their hands.
