LONDON, Nov. 2—The exact terms :n which General Buller, who continues to monopolize conversation in England, ad- vised General White to surrender Lady- smith, are not yet published, nor are they likely to be in the near future. The Na- tional Review's version of the message, while correct in substance, is incorrect textually. The War Office is blamed for allowing a libel to be circulated on the man it has already so severely disciplined, but as a matter of fact, the question of | the publication of all the dispatches has now passed out of War Secrejary Brod- rick's hands and will shortly be deait with by the Cabinet. Lord Raglan, the Under Secretary for War, pointed out to a Call representative that it would be eminently unfair to publish this one dis- patch avithout publishing others which al to an understanding of the one on which the national controversy hinges. To publish the hundreds of messages now on file in the War Office directly bearing on the subject means revealing to the public secrets not intended to be made known and the implication of persons who bave so far escaped any odium. y It is probable that the War Office will take absolutely no action in the matter until Parliament reassembles, when an official paper will be ready to answer the request which is sure to be made, to have these dispatches placed before the House of Commons. General Buller, so far, has n that this be done, and the DmclKIOtvl:;kz’; lhe' case is that he is not likely to take any such step. The agitation in favor of General Buller does not disturb the offi- cials of Pall Mall and, with the exception of a few parliamentary passages at arms. they expect it will blow over, as did the retirement of General Colville, —_— Canoe building is one of the of Kennebunkport, Me., whlchlntdl::é”?: bulld great ships, and ev an occasional schooner..

LONDON, Nov. 2—The cheers that greeted the DuKe and Duchess of Corn- wall and York to-day as they passed on their return from their tour of the world were intermingled with the shrill cries of the newsboys shouting: “Terrible disaster in South Africa. Beneath the jubilation on the safe ar- rival of the heir apparent there existed a keen undercurrent of grief and anger over the defeat of Colonel Benson's column. Of the thousands who lined the route from the Victoria station to Marlborougn House many were personally concerned in the 236 British- casualties incurred in this latest reverse, and while the Duke and Duchess were welcomed back with great heartiness the crowds could not shut their eyes to the mocking contrast between the pageant ‘and the serious news of the morning. Barring the unfortunate coincidence the ceremonies passed off excellently. The King and his reunited family bade farewell to Portsmouth to the strains of the naval bands. “All the ships in the har- bor were gayly dressed. The royal train arrived at the Vietorla station at 12:56 p. m. Immense crowds at once gathered there to. welcome the royal party. ' Brilliancy was given to the sceno by the ga¥l uniforms of the Coldstream Guards, who, with scores of policemen, guarded the depot. All the way to Mar, boruogh House the route was well lined, and several parts were profusely deco- rated, colonial colors being particularly noticeable, while the Stars and Stripes and the Danish flag were also frequently seen. There were 4000 troops on duty. At the Victoria station the colonial agents presented an address to the Duke of Corn- wall and York, who replied in much the same terms as he used earlier in the day at Portsmouth, when he dilated on the enjoyment he had derived from his trip and his gladness at seeing his native land again after his deeply interesting jour- ney, at every point of which he had been 3rofuundly mpressed by the universal eclaration of loyalty to the throne. The agents general of the colonies also presented an address to the King, who handed them a written reply, whieh was as follows: I thank you for your loyal and - drees “on the return 6t my beloved: fon aed daughter-in-law from their visit to the por- tions of realms Mn““::'y' of which you are the rep- It was not without natural anxiety and hesi- tation that I sanctioned the departure of the heir apparent to the throne on a voyage which involved many months of separation, but it was my earnest desire to glve effect to the wishes of my late revered mother and to the aspirations of my loyal subjects In the col- onies, of whose devotion and patriotism I have received such signal proof in the splendid ser- vice they have rendered to the empire in South Africa, ‘and I am fully repaid by the com- | plete Success which attended the visit and by the manifestations of devotion and loyalty which the presence of the Duke and Duchess everywhere evoked. The procession occupied less than half an hour in traversing the short route. The members of the.royal families and their suites were in open carri; 3 King wore a fleld marghal’s uniform; the Duke of Cornwall and York wore the uni- form of a rear admiral and Prince Ed- ward was dressed in sallor clothes. They occupied the first carriage. The Queen; the Duchess of Cornwall and York and the Princesses Victoria and Charles of Denmark were in the second carriage. The household cavalry finished the escort. CLOSE VOTE EXPECTED IN GREATER NEW YORK An Impartial Poll Made by Newspap- ers Gives Low a Small Plurality Over Shepard. NEW YORK, Nov. 2—That the voters of Greater New York are so evenly di- vided that a slight change of sentiment may give victory either to the Democrals or Fusionists is the chief deduction to be drawn from a careful and impartial poll made by the Herald and Brooklyn Eagle, the latter confining its investigations to the borough of Brookiyn. It indlcates a very slight advantage for the head of the fusion ticket, as is shown in the following comparison: Low's indicated pluralities in Brooklyn and Richmond are 23,981; Shep- ard's indicated pluralities in Manhattar, the Bronx and Queens are 10,09, and Low's indicated plurality over Shepard in Greater New Yok is 13,883, Young Women Christians.

Belief Expressed at ‘Washing- ton That Incident Is Now Closed. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—If Argen- tina and Chile engage In war, the greater part of the South American continent will be the scene of strife while the Congress of Pan-American Republics for the pro- motion of peace is sitting in the City of Mexico. Peru and Bolivia are disappointed in not getting a satisfactory settlement of the Tacna-Arica dispute, and they will un- doubtedly press Chile should she become involved in hostilities with Argentina, to comply with their wishes relative to a settlement of this question. Failure on the part of Chile to do so will probably cause them to range themselves on the side of Argentina, even supposing they do. not in the beginning take this action. These in brief are the probabilities in the South American situation. Informa- tion conecrning the exact status of the latest dispute between Argentina and Chile is unfortunately scarce in Washing- ton. The State Department has not heard from its Minister in Buernos Ayres or from its envoy in Santiago. Chile Makes an Explanation. Senor Del Viso, the Argentina Charge d’Affaires, was informed four or five days ago that his Government had received an explanation from Chile to which it was giving consideration. Senor Infanta, the Chilean Charge d'Affaires, has more com- plete advices, His cablegrams show that Chile made an explanation and that it was satisfactory to Argentina. Rather than that war should take place the United States will undoubtedly be pre- pared, upon the request of Argentina and Chile, to use its good offices to arrange amicably the question that is in danger of embroiling those countries in strife. No intimation has come to this Government of any desire on the part of either Gov- ernment that President Roosevelt shall in- terfere. Senor Del Viso has not made any representations to the State Department regarding the boundary question, nor will he do so without specific instructions from his Government. Reports of Trouble Discredited. Senor Infanta discredits the reports of trt‘:‘lilble between the two Governments. He said: I do not belleve that there is any intention on the part of Argentina to withdraw its rep- resentative. Advices received at the Chilian Legation here show that the incident is ended. Argentina asked Chile for an explanation of the construction of the alleged roads in the territory, the ownership of which is now be- ing determined by arbitration. Chile explained that the so-called roads were merely pathw: for the use of surveying expeditions. Bota Governments have surveyors in the disputed region, and to facilitate their work it is neces- sary to cut paths for them. There was no question of constructing roads. I understand that the explanation was satisfactory to Ar- gentina, and the incident was closed. Chile en- joys very cordial relations with Argentina and T am satisfied that she has no desire or inten- tion of committing any act which might tend to impair them. In case of war the Argentina and Chil- ean navies would be evenly matched. The naval policies of the two governments re- quire each to be as strong on the sea as the other. Argentina has three battle- ships ranging in tonnage from 2135 to 4200 tons, against two battleshi of Chile of and 3500 tons respective! Argentina has four armored cruisers, Chile two; Chile has five crulsers, Argentina three Argentina has thirty-three torpedo boats, Chile has twenty-six. In order to protect erican interests in the event of hostil- ities the United States will strengthen its South Atlantic squadron., and perhaps form a South Pacific squadron. Ladies’ Club.

Nicaragua, However, Sud- denly Decides to Renounce Existing Conventions. frd WA LONDON, Nov. 2—The statement of any kind made for a month in relation to the Nicaragua canal has been obtained by a Call correspondent. It confirms the fact that Lord Pauncefote, the British Embassador to the United States, when he lands in New York to- day will have with him the draft of a new treaty, abrogating the Clayton-Bul- wer treaty, which is in every particular satisfactory to Lord Salisbury’s Cabinet. A correspondent interviewed Lord Pauncefote in London, since which not one word has been given out. The latest dispatch from the United States is as follows: “All negotiations up to the present day have been entirely unofficial from a strictly diplomatic point of view, and that on pour parlers only depend .the| hopes generally shared for a successful bridging over of the diplomatic difficulty. These pour parlers, however, have been particularly searching. “The State Department does not require a copy of the document Lord Pauncefote carries to learn its terms. Until the Em- bassador reaches Washington the exact terms are withheld. Though It is ad- mitted that Gréat Britain has agreed to put the Clayton-Bulwer treaty to ome side and to acquiesce in the construction | of the canal by and under the control of | the United States, this concession from Lord Lansdowne's original intention has not been granted without some real or fancied advantage to Great Britain. It would not be fair to say a quid pro quo constituted the main feature of the pro- tracted pour pariers, but that it will directly or inairectly result is firmly established In the minds of the members of the Cabinet.” Never Objected to the Canal. One of the most responsible officers connected with these and the earlier ne- gotiations, said: “We never really objected to the con- struction of the canal, but we did and do object to an abrogation of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty.” It was in that spirit that Lord Lansdowne couched his reply | to the United States Senate: “It was not that you wanted to do it but the nasty way in which you said it. Since then we have been approached in 2 rational, polite manner and we have again endeavored to substitute for the Clayton-Bulwer treaty a treaty that will enable America to carry out a design which, in a broad sense, would doubtless benefit the whole world.” The mollification of the Foreign Office has doubtless done more than anything else to secure the assent of the British Government to a new treaty. But In the same breath must be mentloned the State Department’s willingness to _a reciprocal arrangement regarding the British West Indies and other British possessions. This, while in line with the views latterly at- tributed by cable dispatches to President McKinley and President Roosevelt, was so at variasce with the British Govern- ment's experience of the American atti- tude that they now regard it in the light of a quid pro quo for what they believe to be a concession over the Nicaraguan territory. Some papers say Lord Lansdowne has tamely given up inherent rights without any return, which is strenuously denfed on the foregoing grounds. What is even more interesting is the fact that inner circles of the Cabinet are not nearly so sure of the acceptance of the convention as are some of the leading papers on both sides of the water. When the terms are announced it is feared that some members of the Senate may still find objections and that the forecasts so far published alleging too sweeping ‘“conces- sions” on the part of Great Britain may have a deleterious effect. For instance, the deduction that the proposed treaty in any way reaffirms or extends the scope of the Monroe doctrine meets with a de- nial by the Foreign Office. For these and other reasons Lord Pauncefote is not likely to affix his signature to the docu- ment until a majority of the Senate shall have had full opportunity for studying Great Britain’s proposal. Spirit of Indifference. In the meanwhile there exists here a s?lm of indifference and a feeling that, after all, the new treaty may be pigeon- holed on account of some unexpected Sen- atorial objection, though this development would create the keenest disappointment despite its present stoical anticipation. From a diplomatic source there has lately emanated private rumors that the Suez Canal Company is using financlal and first official | 1 ! A NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

It has been further reported that this powerful corporation has joined hands with several leading American interests alleged to be opposed to the comstruction of this latter waterway. The head of ong | of the British state departments admitted that the Nicaragua cahal would probabiy rob the Suez canal of all its far Eas trade. The British Government is largest stockholder in the Suez canal, but it does not appear that financial interest ever entered into the discussions of the Nicaragua canal, the considerations in- volved therein being regarded as so para- mount to any possible loss of future divi- dends from the Suez Canal Company as to be unworthy of being coupled with the subject. The actual business of the Suez Canal Company is all transacted in Paris, where the secretary general of the com- pany said to a corrsepondent: “For us the Panama_and Nicaraguan projects do not exist. We pay absolutcly no attention to them. We have never ex- ercised any influence to prevent either of those schemes from being carried out, and we shall never do so. We can look for- ward to the eventful opening of either canal with perfect equanimity, as we do not anticipate any appreciable loss of in- come from their competition. We may even benefit by the general development of the traffic that the opening of a canal across the American isthmus may cause. The Panama Canal Company is alse Iz norant of any action having been take: by the Suez Canal mpany against the proposed Nicaragua canal. It is_interesting to note that several English interviews all declare that Eng- lish trade with the Far East must be found to take the isthmian route, ot only to expedite cargoes, but to avoid pal- pable danger of the Suez route which now compels them to skirt the shores of three nations, France, Spain and Italy, who “by the fall of the handkerchief” might be- come hostile. These authorities assumed, without any reservation, that war tween Great Britain and the United States is an impossibility. Nicaragua Terminates Treaty. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The Govern- ment of Nicaragua has terminated the treaty under which the United States was empowered to construct an interoceanic canal across the territory of Nicaragua. This action has been conveyed to-the State Department by the Nicaraguan Minister for Foreign Amairs. That official deciares that the denunciation in no wise affects the friendly relations between t two countries and the Nicaraguan ( ernment desires the conclusion of new treaties. Between the treaty of riendship, com- merce and navigation of 1367 thus re- nounced the same note conveys the de- nunciation of the extradition treaty of 1570 between the United States and N Tagua. Under the terms of the degun tion the first named treaty, covering right to construct and guarantee a can ' the convention will expire October 24, 1 which is one year from the date on which the notice was received at the State De- partment. The extradition treaty ter- minates May 24 next, as provided in the convention. The Nicaraguan Minister's note conveys absolutely no information as to the mo- tives which inspired the Nicaraguan Gov- ernment. to renounce these two treaties, nor has Mr. Mcrry, United States Minis- ter to Nicaragua, thrown any light on the subject. It may be recalled, as affecting the treaty of 1867, that before submitting the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to Congresi last year Secretary Hay drew up a set of protocols with the Minister for Nicaragua and the Minister for Colombia, whereby these officers bound their Governments to negotiate treaties with the United States for the necessary concessions to construct and control canals in the event that Con- gress should authorize the beginning o? such work.
