WASHINGTON, June 2l.-From latest reliable nfor-
nation received here there is to believe
stated recently in Geneva telegram, that the Sup
Elementary Articles to the Treaty of Washington, on
quite new basis, submitted by Granville, are now
the subject of negotiation between the British and
American Governments. On the contrary, there is
truth in the allegation made in quarters in
Geneva that at the next meeting Of the arbitrator
the announcement will be made that the question of
indirect damages is settled There the best reason
for believing that at their brief session on the 18th
inst. the arbitrator decided that such claims
properly come before them and must therefore be
excluded.
On this announcement being formally made on the
25th inst, is not apprehended that there will be
any further difficulty in proceeding to the business
under the treaty.
From the commencement of the controversy ever
since the American statement of the case was
submitted to the Tribunal the British have cOntended
that none but direct claims known the Ala
CANA claims, and that the indirect losses were men
toned by the American High Commissioners, not
claims but grievances, and mentioned only to be
Withdrawn from discussion. Our Government on the
dad IL
within the province of the Tribunal, and there
fore adhered to them, and never contemplated their
withdrawal, it being considered necessary to present
them in order to have decision and prevent them
from being brought up hereafter to disturb the har
mony of the two nations.
1t is known that the Supplemental Article was pro-
posed in order to relieve the nations from their
tagonisc positions, but while the parties have been
in correspondence regarding the amended phraseolo
~ of the article, and discussing the subject of post
ponement until the next session Of Congress, the Tr
bunal itself has come to decision which renders fur
Their controversy the point unnecessary. and in
fact settles questions in manner satisfactory to
Government, judging from the despatch Of Secretary
Fish to ScheDck, april 10th, in which he reiterated
the views previously expressed, saying " Should
that august Tribunal decide that State is not liza
bic for indirect consequential results of accidental
unintentona violation of its neutral obligations
the United ates will unhesitatingly accept the dec
sion.'
Should it, on the other hand, decide that Great
Britain is liable t. this Government for such
quenal results, they have that faith in the British
Governments observance of its engagement to expect
compliance with the Judgment of the Tribunal which
solemn treaty between the two powers has created
in order to remove and adjust all complaints aud
claims on the part of United States. To the judg-
ment of the Tribunal, when pronounced, the United
States will implicitly bow. They confidently expect
the same submission the part of the great nation
with which they entered into such solemn obligations.
Of course the British Government must be satisfied
with the decision Of the ArbitratOrs in excluding the
consideration of the indirect claims and it is thought
here that in consequence of this action of the Trbu
nal the additional article to the Treaty is rendered
unnecessary, and accordingly will be altogether
withdrawn from the controversy.
