AL If Davis Supports the Hay-Pauncefote Agreement, Saying Neutrality Is the Best Plan for This Country. WASHINGTON, April 8.—On motion of Senator Davis the Senate to-day con- sidered the Hay-Pauncefote treaty for the modification of the vton-Bulwer | tre About three hours were spent in discussion of the amendment to the treaty made by the Senate Committee on Forelgn Relations, providing that ‘‘none of the conditions and stipulations +n sec- tions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of article II shall apply to measures which the United States may find it necessary to take for securing by its own forces the defense o7 the United States and the maintenance | of public order. Senator Davis opened the debate with a general statement in support of the tre but devoted his remarks espe- cially toward the explanation of the com- mittee amendment. He stated that in all Other essential respects the pending treaty was similar to the treaty of Con- stantinople, entered into in connection with the Suez canal. For some reason however, the provision permitting th: United States to defend its property*was | omitted. In the Suez canal treaty such 2 provision was inserted in the interest of the Sultan of Turkey and the Khedive of Egypt. This omission was a palpable er- ror, Mr. Davis said, and he .did not be lieve that the people of the United State 1 with any arrangement nment of this coun- erway between the G a which left the try to build | oceans and not give it the right in specific | terms to defend it Senator Morgan, the only member of the Committee on Foreign Relations who did not concur in the amendment, made the principal speeclf in opposition to it. He consumed the greater part of the ex- ecutive session, Mr. Davis' speech being comparatively brief. Before Mr. Morgan began, however, a few brief statements were made for and against the amend- ment. Senator Platt of Connecticut and Senator Stewart of Nevada both came out against the amendment. Mr. Platt made the point that the amendment was un- necessary ~and therefore undesirable. Senator Lodge made a brief plea for the amendment, saying that however great the present confidence was in_the power of neutrality and mutual understanding tenance of troops at probably both ends of the canal, but also the maintenance of battle-ships, coaling stations and supply depots in that vicinity. The provision was calculated in times of emergency to make the termini of the canal reat battle grounds and to invite complications with other nations, which would be avoided in casp of the maintenance of absolute neu- trality. He contended also against the adoption of the amendment as a precau- tionary measure, arguing that in case of war we would take possession of the canal without any previous agreement to that effect. “If,” he said, “I1 should get into a fisti- cuff ‘with another fellow and he should strike me, T would certainly strike back without stopping to read amy previous agreement that I might have with my an- tagonist to the contrary. In case of a war we would most certainly assume that the other nation to the controversy had broken the agreement and act accord- ngly.” 'Keked by Senator Mason if he thought it_would ‘be consistent on .the part of Great Britain to fortify Jamaica and still 25c, | prevent our fortifying the mouth of the ' ENERAL SNYMAN, BOER T AT MAFEKING IMMENSE AMOUNT FOR THE NAVY Appropriation Bill Reported to the House by the Chairman of the Naval Committee.
