The American Reply to Eng

land.
The reply of Secretary Fish to Earl
Granville's note, has been the subject of
earnest consideration by the President
and his Cabinet. The rumor that has
been prevalent in reference to the dis
agreement upon the precise terms of the
reply proves to be unfounded, although
the sending of the dispatch will prob
ably be delayed for several days. 1t is
very evident that England means the
abandonment of the American claim or
war. There seems TO be one way our
government must insist upon the OBJ
seryance of her treaty obligations at the
risk of war or await decision by the
tribunal and force the decision. .
The Democratic party hope for con-
cession or an abandonment of the claim
for consequential damages, which will
prove beneficial to that party in the
Presidential canvass. This situation is
impossible, as the President holds the
same views he has always held. Yet
Mr.. Fish may embarrass the government
by playing the diplomat, for he is eyi-
IDENTIFY holding the reply though it has
been recorded at the State Department.
The Cabinet officers are very reticent on
the subject, yet the subject is fully dis
cussed in official circles, but little Of inn
portance is elected by these discussions
