New Nicaragua Canal Treaty

A REPORT from Washington states that the United States and Great Britain have come to an agreement concerning the Nicaragua canal, and that a new treaty will be presented to the Senate for its ratification early in the coming session. This treaty is said to provide for the complete abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty; the United States to guarantee the neutrality of the canal when she is not at war; but when at war she is to be allowed to take such measures as she deems necessary for the protection of her coasts.
