It is with respent to the political con- trel of the Canal, as distinguished from is merely administrative or commercial regulation, that the American Govern. inent is chiefly concsraad. According to Mr Daino's letter, his Government, in time of peace, does not seek to have any exclusive privileges accorded to American shio in respect to procederice or tolls through the Canal.

Any attempt to supersede that guaranteg (the treaty between the United States and Colombia) by agreement between the European Powers, which maintain rast ar mies and patrol the set with immonse fleets, and whose interest in the Canal and its operations can never be so vital and sa- prema na ou, would partake of the nature of an alliance against the United States,

and would be regarded by this Government

as an indication of an unfriendly feeling.

The foregoing extracts state the broad outlines of the claims of the United States. No doubt the securing of the neutrality of the canal morely by a treaty between the United States and Colombia practically means that the neutrality of this important water way would be left in the hands of the Gar ernment of the former country. The rights of the feeble little South Ameri- can republic in securing the heutrality. of the canal would, in the event of a war in which the United States wers engaged, prove to be of the most shadowy nature. Admitting that vitel interests of the United States are bound up in the canal, England also can claim important interests. In its control.
