By telegraph to The Times. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. As a re sult of the overwhelming vote in the Senate yesterday on the Da.vis a muni ment to the llay-Pnuneefote Treaty the I'resident nuiy withdraw the treaty from the Senate.

The effect of these were to abrogate the Clnyton-Bulwer Treuty nnd provide for an ull-Auierieun cn.na.l. with (lie right to defend it against all comers, and the further right of the Ameri cans to keep out other nations from the nso of the canal in time of war.
