General schenck telegraphed to Secretary Fish
June H.
Received yesterday morning your telegram OF the
9th; communicated to Lord Granville Immediately
all except the instructions at the close Late last
night after long Cabinet, he sent me the following
note
sIR-Her Majesty's government understand that
the government OF the United States decline any
agreement between the two governments unless
the supplemental article as altered by the
Senate, to which Her Majestys government
has stated its objections, or unless they agree
without any declaration as to their doing so sub
mOdO to take q further step in the proceedings
before the arbitrators while misunderstanding
exists as to what both parties agree to submit to
Mr.. Fish states to you that the government OF the
United states have no reason TO ask for an adjourn
ment or the arbitrators at Geneva. The reason
which actuated Her Majesty's government in pro-
posing it was to obtain time for the CON
cluson of an agreement ut which both
parties had already nearly arrived. Her
Majesty's government will have now to consider
what may be the course most consistent with the
declarations they have heretofore made most re-
specially to the Tribunal of Arbitrators and the
most courteous to the United States. The British
arbitration viii repair to Geneva and, at the meet
ing OF the Tribunal, the British agent will be
DIRECTED TO PRESENT THEM STATEMENT
to the following effect -"Her Maesty'S govern
ment regret to he under the necessity OF informing
the arbtrators that the difference between Her
Maiestys government and the government of the
United States referred TO in the note which accom-
panied tne presentation OF the British counter
case on oo the 18th Of April last, has
mcnt have, however, been engaged In negotiation
with the government OF the United States, which
have continued down to the present time, for the
solution OF the difficulty which has thus arisen, ana
they do not abandon the hope that II further time
were given for that purpose such solution
stances. The course which Her Maiesty's govern
ment would respectfully request the tribunal to
take is to adjourn the present meeting for such
ENABLE SUPPLEMENTARY CONVENTION
to be still concluded and ratified between the high
contracting parties. In the meantime, the high
contracting parties, not being in accordance to the
subject matter of the reference to arbitration Her
| Maiesty's government regret to find themselves
unable to deliver the written argument which their
agent Is directed to put In under the fifth article OF
prepared, and Is in the hands of their agent, to
take any other steps at the present time. In the
intended arbitration 1t will, of course, be under
stood by the Tribunal that Her Maicsty's govern
ment, while they would consider the Tribunal to
have full power to proceed at the end OF the period
of adjournment ii the difference between the high
contracting parties should then have been removed
notwithstanding the non-delivery on this day OF
the argument by the British agent, continue, while
requesting this adjournment to reserve all Her
Maiesty's right in the event OF an agreement not
being finally arrived at, in the same manner as was
expressed in a note which accompanied the British
counter case"

falls by the recent decision of the Tribunal exclud
