Washington, Nov. 18. The Hay-
Bunau Varllla Istflmlan canal treaty
was signed thbi evening at the resi
dence of Secretary I lay by the secre-
ury snd Phllppe liunau Varllla, min
ister from Panama.
The treaty In Its text cun not be
made public at this moment for two
reason: First, because of the unwrlt
ten law which obliges the state depart
meat to awall the pleasure of tbe sen
ile's rat mention. '
Certain facts have been disclosed as
to the provisions of the treaty which
make It appear that In Is outlines the
new convention Is patterned upon he
Hay-Hcrran treaty. Instead of a fixed
period, however, the new treaty pro
vides for perpetual lease of the right
of way. The new treaty permits the
United States to exercise he most
complete Jurisdiction thereupon.
The United Btatea may fortify the
line snd terminals and may police It
with troops. The money consideration
Is understood to be the same. The
canal Is o be neutrel and open to all
nation cm even terms. The new treaty
Is much simpler than the Hay-Herran
treaty and it has been especially drawn
to meet the objection urged against
the latter. It Is said the Panama com
mission, which arrives here tonight,
hits been empowered to ratify the I TROUBLE
treaty, and this action may occur with
In the next 4$ hours.
