The settlement with EngIaud.

New YoRK, February 14.-A special
London dispatch says, no Englisfgovcrn-
ment continuing the negotiations in re-
gard to the treaty OF Washington as the
case now stands, could hold olllce twenty
four hours. This is absolutely certain, and
cannot bestated too emphatically. Should
the government 60 out on this issue, their
successors from the nature Of the case,
would be equally prevented from cOntin-
uing negotiations. Therefore the arbitfa!
tion is ended. The opportunity for ac.,
commodatton will be lost, unless a mutual
understanding modifying the point of in.
direct losses Is arrived at. The English
government having positively refused to
pay the gross sum for all damages, q
proposition Of that nature cannot now ,be
advanced. Should the American govern.
ment renew Its own proposition made
March 8, 1870, In protocol, 1t could be ar.
ranged on the basis that England pay the
highest sum named by America, thirty
million Of dollars In gold. ....I ,..
II Is stated that the Geneva arbitrators
will have only q formal meeting in April,
as the statement OF the cases submitted,
require to be translated into French, as
Count Selapis, Baron 1talmbr and Strein.

nevertheless have been made necessary

William Fowler, member Of Parlia.
ment for Cambridge, in addressing his
constituents last night, dwelt at some
length on the Alabama case. Alluding to
the claim of the United States for indirect
damages he said England should not
bluster nor should she submit 10 be, bul,

had made up its mind if its American
cousins wanted money they would have to
come and take it.
The Times considers the situation TO.
day more satisfactory. 1t denies that any
quarrel was sprung because Mr.. Glad.
stone feared the effect of the intrigues Of
Messrs, Disraeli and Dixie, for nothing
could be more unpopular in England.
The Daily Telegraph does not credit the
