GENEVA, July 27.-The recent inter-
ruption Of the sittings Of the board of
arbitration occurred through the neces.
sary re.examination of the English law
on questions regarding the construction
OF priyateering vessels in British ports:
and also investigation as to whether the
British admiralty used sufficient dill
gence Ia preventing these vessels from
going to sea. OF four cases advanced,
England repudiates three; and in the
fourth, she contends chat the Admiralty
acted promptly, although the police he
STATED to take proper steps to prevent
her departure. The court is also consi-
dering the question of allowing interest
on the amounts awarded. It is stated
that the majority Of the board are unfa-
vorable to such allowance. It is regard
ed as probable that, after careful in
vestigation of each case, the tribunal
will fix the amount Of indemnity to be
paid by England, at gross sum. Chas.
francis Adams preserves firm attitude
IN maintaining the claims of the United
States. The oonciliatory disposition
universally manifested by the American
representatives commands much admira-
ton, as also does their assiduous labor
in behalf OF their cause.
