stand by the decision Of the afbitratotp.
It is, known that though the British Com
missioneTs had fdll powers, they fire..
qusntly consulted their home Govern .
ment, and acted in full accordance
with it's wishes in whatever they did.
It is officially asserted that if the claim
tor consequential damages had not been
presented, and was not to be passed
upon. there might be complaint by the
people OF the United States that provi-
sion was made fora partial settlement
only of the difference between the two
countries. Suoh claim was, therefore,
presented, for full settlement in the
Interests OF peace. and to preclude fu-
ture disputes. This Government has
not yet received the text Of ths letter
from Lord Granville. to Gen. Schenok,
and therefore cannot take official action
upon it. There is no probability what
ever that our Government will withdraw
any part Of the statement Of the o.se,
but will leave the British Government to
pursue it's own course, or the tribunal of
arbitrators to not in the premises accord
ing to the treaty stipnlations. Nor is it
likely that our counsel will take any ac-
ton IN order to accommodate the British
Government.
