WASHINGTON. March 12. - The
lung-expected answer from the British
government to the state department'f
conitnunicati'iu reciting the action of
the senate upon the Hay;Pnunccfoti
treaty was returned at noon yesterday.
Lord Paunc.fote, the Rritisu ambassa
dor, already had ttcquaintnl Secretary
Hay with the fact that he hud received
a coninmniculion from his government
on the stibjc't and it is believed It luif
been in his ; nssessioii fur several days.
Lord Pntiuccfnte came to the mutt
(hpartmctit nt noun by appointment.
He brought the answer with him and
ri ad it to S'li-tary Uuy. It was, iu
form, an instruction from Lord Lnus
duwn, the Hriti.-h minister of foreign af
fairs, to Lord Puuucefote, and of this
Instruction he left a copy with Secretary
Huy. The secretary and the ambassa-
uor were closeted for hnlf an hour. At
the conclusion oi the conference it was
stated th.it the instruction to Lord
Pauuccfote was to notify the govern
ment of the I'uited Statin that the Brit
ish government did not see its way clear
to the acceptance uf the senate amend
n:ents. These aincnilrients were trenti-d iu de
tail at some length, in argumentative
fashion, tlie p trpose of the British gov
ernment being to show that it had sound
leusoii for declining to accept them
After disposing of the details, the note
com linled wih an expression of regret
that such a course had been forced upon
tin- British government. Th-re was
nothing in the nature of a counter prop
osition, nor was uuy opening left for
fiuthcr action by the British govern
ment. It was stated that if there was to be
a further attei.ipt to nnieiid the Clay-ton-Btilwer
ircaty, so as to authorize
the United Slates to construct a water
way across the isthmus, then it wad for
the United States to make the overture;
the British g-, -eminent simply dropped
the matter at litis point.
Secretary Hay carried the coinmunl
ca'.ion to the White House to talk with
the president as to the future action of
the department. The impression pre
vails that there will be no immediate
action looking toward the negotiation of
n treaty.
