NICARAGUA CANAL TREATY.
PURCHASE OF ROUTE AND NAVAL CONCESSIONS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, August 3. Router's Washington correspondent states that the new treaty will be limited to the purrihaso of the canal Toute and certain naval concessions for a sum of 3,000,000 dollars.
The substance of the treaty signed by ,the Taft Administration, but not ratified, is that the Nicaraguan Canal route will be forever closed to every nation except the United States. The agreement also provi'ied for the concession of a naval base to the United States on the Gulf of Fonseoa, on the west coast of Nicaragua. On May 30 last it was announced that the Wilson Administration had decided to support this treaty, and that Mr. Bryan had asked the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to _ approve : it. The general arbitration with Japan oxpires by limitation on August 24. There seems to be a strong feeling in. the Senate (states an American writer) that all the United States arbitration treaties should be remodelled in-form so that they will not (as Senator Chamberlain puts it) "permit other nations to dictate in any way in our domestic affairs."
