parties had nearly arrived. In Informing
Sehenck 81 the action Of the British Cabinet.
!, Granville, on the 18th or June, stated that
the British arbifrators would repair to Gem
era and the British agent had been instruct-
! ed 10 present to the ALTERATION statement,
that England regretted the necessity Of in
forming the arbitration that the difference
between Great Britain and the Emitted States
had not yet been removed, but does not
abandon the hope that, If proper time il
given. solution might be found practicable,
and consequently, Britain would request an
adjournment for such time ~ to enable q
supplemental convention to be concluded
and ratified between the high contracting
! parties The British Government, under
these circumstances, would not deliver .
written argument or take any other steps in
the intended arbitration If the difference con-
| tinues at the end OF the time of adjournment.
| The tribunal has full power to proceed in
the same manner rs expressed In the note
accompanying the British counter case.
On the 18th. Schenck received 4 long note
from Granville atating that, upon recapitu-
lation Of the corresp ndence and kilograms,
the British Government believed that the
two Governments had substantially agreed
upon the probable intention of the Senate.
II ere was any difference between them in
principle. 1t was reduced to the smallest
proposition. The objections entertained and
Senare's amendments are founded upon
reasons of the greatest Importance. though
| it il possible the Senate did not intend to use
! language which the British Government be-
lieves It's words imply. The American Gov
ernment states that there are some cases not
provided for III words suggested by England.
/ Lf the United States will state what ar the
cases in question:. Englsnd doubts not bnr a
form Of words may b. agreed OH which will
be without objections and applicable to the
wording OF thy Senate article: England has
never put forth words as an nlsimatu1n, and
,.is willing to consider with proper time Other
words.
On the 14tb, Fish telegraphed Schenck !:
It is much to ,e hoped thar the British Gov
eminent will authorize the filing at their ar
glment on the 18th. Let the treaty require
lncI,ts be fulfilled, and thereafter make their
| motion to adjourn.
This completes the history Of the supple

claims for indirect damages

1t is now stated that wile the Board OF
Arbitration meets Wednesday the American
agent will maintain that the tribunal cannot
adjourn like any other court; which is cor
tirmed by the provision under which it as
constituted. to enable it to entertain the ques-
tien OF the admissibilty at indirect claims.

All the Commissioners on the Board Of
Arbitration are absent, except Davis and
Cushing. Of the American Representatives.
Nothing has TRANSFERRED, and weak hopes are
entertained of an amicable adjustment OF the
differences between the two countries.
GENEVA. june "A.
Dispatches have been received since Satur-
day which has induced the American agen,
to request Count Selopis to summon con-
ference immediately. He accordingly tele
graphed Ill the members to meet at o'clock
Tuesday. II is not known whether the IN
direct claims will be withdrawn. All the
members OF the Board had arrived at eight
O'Clock.
A statement Of the aTbitrators at the ses-
sion on June 10Th was made to the Aineri-
can and English agents that the American
Indirect claims were untenable. There is
reason to believe that dispatches received
from Washington. to be presented by BAN
croft Davis to-day. will lead to satisfactory
solution OF the entire question.
On reassembling. the tribunal will pro-
ceed to consider the direct claims OF the
United states.
