  Clayton-Bulwer Treaty - LoveToKnow 1911
In 1859-1860, by British treaties with Central American states, the Bay Islands and Mosquito questions were settled nearly in accord with the American contentions.' But by the same treaties Belize was accorded limits much greater than those contended for by the United States.
Until 1866 the policy of the United States was consistently for inter-oceanic canals open equally to all nations, and unequivocally neutralized; indeed, until 1880 there was practically no official divergence from this policy.
In 1885 the former government reverted to its traditional policy, and the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty of 1902, which replaced the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, adopted the rule of neutralization for the Panama Canal.

 HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY : Encyclopedia Entry
This agreement nullified the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850 and gave the United States the right to create and control a canal across Central America, connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
The treaty was negotiated under the table by United States Secretary of State, John Hay, and the British Ambassador to the United States, Lord Pauncefote.

 Henry George, Jr. / Panama Canal Tolls -- Equal Terms to All
Secretary of State John Hay, who signed this treaty for the United States, subsequently reported to the Senate that "the whole theory of the treaty (Hay-Pauncefote) is that the canal is to be entirely American canal.
The central idea of this treaty, like that of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, was that the canal should be open to the use of all nations on terms of entire equality.
We show our greatness in holding to the principle of the original treaty to build and operate the canal "for the benefit of mankind on equal terms to all." And were the cost of the canal to be four thousand instead of four hundred millions, our course should be the same.

Though the treaty as ratified by the U.S. Senate called for allowing U.S. military ships priority and ability to control the canal during times of war, the Panama version passed by their legislature omitted that crucial part.

Negotiations began during the McKinley administration between John Hay, the U.S. secretary of state, and Lord Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador to Washington.

In 1901 the second Hay-Pauncefote treaty declared a plan for the United States to build a canal through Central America.
Secretary of State John Hay then sought an agreement to let the U.S. use a 10-mile-wide stretch of land through Panama, which was then part of Colombia.
Two treaties, the Panama Canal Treaty and the Treaty on the Permanent Neutrality of the canal, declared that the United States would, by degrees, transfer control of the canal to Panama, completing the process by the year 2000, after which Panama would keep the canal neutral, and both countries could protect it.
