The official dispatch Of the govern
nent of Great Britain in relation to
The "Ainerican CASE" as presented
10 the Geneva Conference, has been
received at Washington, at last. In
stead of being the warliko message
cbortcd by the ncwsmongers, and
jlstiiied by the angry tone Of the
British press, Earl Granrillc's mes
sage is entirely friendly in spirit,
and concluded in simple statement
that her Maiesty's government did
not understand that the consequen.
tial damages were covered by the
Treaty of Washington, or were to be
submitted to by the Geneva Confer
,ncc. 1t males no demand or mod
iiication or Withdrawal of auy part
IF tho case. The tenor of the dis
patch certainly docs not Indicate that
any bclfigcr.nt feeling cau possibly
grow out Of the correspondent. II
is believed that our government will
state that it submitted a complete
Ease TO the Confercnce, leaving no
room for future disputes TO arise Cd
my question covered by the treaty
md that il is DESTROYS that the arbi-
traitors should decide, first, whether
theec claims come within the dctini-
lion Of the treaty, and if SO, then to
decide whether they are allowable OF
not. 1.-THE arbitrators declare that
the protocol and treaty show that il
never was intended to have the ques-
ion Of indirect damages submitted.
lien that portion Of The American
case may be ruled out. In word,
it is understood that this govern
nent Will take the position that every
thing should he left to the arbi-
traitors, and to abide by its decision
according to its plighted faith.
