March 12.—The relation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty by the British government, without terms and without any counter proposition, leaves a clear cut Issue between the two governments. If there Is to be any treaty about the Nicaragua canal, negotiations must be begun absolutely fropi the beginning. When the new negotiations are begun, Great Britain will be able to submit her counter proposition. If she has any. The situation will then be that the United desires to renew negotiations and that the British government, acceding to tte Arae'r!cnn'•request, makes known what It will accept as the price of reopening the subject. The matter is completely closed by the British reply. If It Is reopened, It must be at the request of the United States. Great Britain will then point to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, show that the United States cannot construct an Interoceanlc canal under It without her consent and name her price. y There are only three way* out for the United States.

Washington, March 12.—For some time complaints from Peking about General Chaffee's lack of Interest In the punishment of the Chinese have been appearing in the London papers and hare given great gratification to the war department officials. General Chaffee has consistently refused to tak« part In punitive expeditions, even when Invited to do so by Count von Waldersee, and has neglected to participate In the military executions ordered In Peking. These executions have been taking place ever since Peking was placed under military rule, and In the German quarter, according to one authority, they have risen to as high as SO executions a day, a number seldom exceeded In Paris during the reign of terror. The American quarter alone has not been made the scene of such executions. In the case against Fernando, Rustau, general agent of the Tkbacalerla company, who Is charged with having aided the Insurgents, papers hare been discovered which places In an unfavorable light M. de Berard, former French consul In Manila, who has returaed to Europe.

"the treaty Ib void, the seeoMd that It is voidable, the third to accept the British position that the treaty Is In full force and begin negotiations anew at that disadvantage. The first door Is closed'to the United States. The third would make negotiations practically Impossible, for it Is morally certain that the senate would not accept the terins which Great Britain would dictate if a full acceptance of her position were made. The belief Is general that If negotiations are renewed It will be upon the basis of the second claim. This Is the old claim made by Blaine and Frellngbuysen, that the treaty may be declared void. Upon this basis the United States would have a chancc to maneuver for position, and there Is a strong belief that the negotiations will be renewed upon this basis. fpteltl to the QinRi.
