THE WAR CLOUD.

The dispatches from England aou
from Washington city this morning
have a decidedly warlike tone. The
Fnr,;sb Government scouts the idea OF
nsyins our claims for indirect losses
occ ioned BY the operations Of Confed-
ers.r privateers, and the Government at
Washington insists that it must have
all i, asked for or nothing, We copy
elsewhere from the New York World .
synopsis of American claims presented
before the Conference at Geneva, from
which it NAV be seen that it would be
indccl surprising if the English Gov
eminent submitted without protest to
their payment Il we understand the
matter correctly, the present Hurry
is somewhat premature. The treaty
of Washington does not pass
upon the American claims,
but merely provides a means
for their arbitration. The board OF
commissioners at Geneva is assembled
to consider the questions at issue and
decide what reparation should be made
They have not vet decided anything;
have rendered no verdict whatever; and
it is hardly within the range Of prob,
ability that they will allow the full
amount OF the American claims or
decide that England is liable for the
enormous indirect damages which con-
stitlIe so large portion of our case.
1t would be more appropriate for
England to wait for the decision before
declaring that she will not submit, and
it would be better for our government
to see what the arbitrators agree upon
before insisting that nothing less than
the full amount of the claims will be
under any circumstances acceptable.
We don't think there is any very
imminent or actual danger Of war be.
tween the two countries, nor do We
think that there = Any 1T occasion as
yet for a display OF much temper on
either side. 1t will probably blow
over in few days; the diplomatists
and letter writers will smooth it al |
over; the commissioners at Geneva will
allow US only such a sum as England
ought in justice to pay; the British |
Government will pay it, aud everything
will be serene, GRANTS chances for re.
election not being affected by the matter
very materially either in one way or
the other. We hope at least that this
may be the case for this country has

WASHINGTON.
The Answers to the Request OF the
British Government.

WASHINGTON, February The
Government has already prepared its
answer to the request Of the British
Government, that the American claims
for damages be withdrawn. The sub
stance of the answer is that the United
States Government, to the best Of its
understanding, has consistently ad-
hered to the position it has maintained
from the beginning and has kept within
the terms ofthe treaty. No part ofthe
case submitted to the Geneva tribunal
can under any circumstances now fore
seen be withdrawn or modified except
on the advices Of the counsel Of the
United States before the tribunal. Should
the arbitration upon the demurrer Of
the British representatives refuse to
entertain claims for damages other than
direct and explicit loss and damages,
the United States is already bound by
its conclusions; Great Britain is equally
bound by an opposite determination.
Minister Schenck recently telegraphed
to Secretary Fish, inquiring whether
ssrsas tss Haised States would d w!bdTag the

insist on decision Of its case as it now
stands.
