an interview with Secretary Fish on Friday in
reference to the withdrawal from the Alabama
care Of our claims for indirect damages. The
Secretary, speaking both for his own depart
nent and all the other members Of the Cabinet,
wss very decided that no Withdrawal or modih-
cation Of our csse at Geneva was either deair-
able or possible. In his view, with which the
President and Cabinet fully agree, it is not with
il their power even if they wished it, to change
or revive cur case after it has once been placed
in the hands Of the arbitrator, aud there is
theTefre nothing for this government to do but
to allow the arbitration TO proceed and sccept
