A Hcyaids Washington special
says A number Of gentlemen, rep
fcsenting claimants for indemnify
from England, waited, TO day upon
the President, aud urged upon hitn
the necessity Of taking ,imfnndiate
action. The delay OF the British
Government IN responding 30 the tpst
demands Of our Government, was
freely commented upon, and X is re-
ported that the President expressed
himself favorably inclined b. thei.
Views. IL was suggested thai 4 de-
maud should be at once made for in-
demnity within thirty days, with d
threat, that IN case i was not com.
piled with, Canada should be seized
and held AZ security for the payment
Of tho claim. '"
The political friends Of the Prcai-
dent here are generally in favor Of
such action as question OF policy.
They argue that a foreign war would
have d tendency 10 heal the bitter
ness Of feeling between the Radicals
and Conservatives. There Is no
doubt that tho President considers
the claim h Just one, but breads in
curing the expense Of another war
from financial reasons. He is anx-
ious to reduce taxation and. restore
the currency ~ soon ~ possible g o
specie basis. AT the same tisao the
friends Of n compulsory demand for
immediate action on the part OF Eng
land IN response 10 our demand for
indemnity, openly say that such de-
mand win shortly be made and an
army ordered 10 the Canadian bor-
der IN less than eight weeks.
