Belmont chairman of the National Demo
cratic Committee, held an informal political
caucus yesterday, at which forty politicians
of both houses were present. Tie feeling
is unmistakably against calling or lOcatinga a
convention until after the Cincinnati CON
vention. A coalition there depends upon

The Times Washington special says:
Much surprise is expressed here at the
statement made by the London Times in
ply to the letter of ex-Consul General Free
dan III. Morse, to the effect that the pre-
sentation of the rebel cotton loan before the
mixed commission here was without the
sanction Of the British government The
answer to this statement is that 1t Is not
true. in view Of the Undoubted character OF
the note now crossing the ocean in reply to
the note of Secretary Fish. The real facts
i'll relation to the presentation of the cotton
bond claims can not be too emphaicaLy
stated. These claims we're presented before
the commission, not only with the full
knowledge of the British Ministry, but by
the authority of the Ministry.
The case was so extraordinary tilat 1t was
| immediately brought to the attention OF the
admnistra and the British Ministry
was immediately requested to withdraw the
| claims. as they clearly did not come within
| the scope and purpose of the treaty. This
reouest was refused by the British Ministry;
| the English consul was advised to press the
claims, and did so until they were ruled out
| bv the commission Itself.

believed the captain wife and daughter, a
Young girl, We're in the cabin at the time
OF the explosion. When the fire was seen
from the harbor of Bermuda il was too late
to render assistance.
