American Government, should such action
not have been taken already, that if the
Americen case is a. reported, the effort or
the arbitration may as well cease.
/ The DAILY Telegraph reports that ne
gotiat:ons between England and America,
and British representations are not received
in friendly manner.
WAsHISGToS, Feb. 4-No official ad-
vices have been received here confirming
the cable dispatches that Great Britain
has withdrawn it arbitrator from the Gene
va conference, and intends to propose re-
opening the negotiations on the Alabama
claims matters. Secretary Fish does not
think there is anything in the case as sub
mittcd by the american counsclors 10 pro
duce so much excitement in England. The
Objectionable points are open to counter
statements and arguments, after which
both sides are submitted TO the arbltrators
for their decision. The indirect damages,
to which frequent reference is made, and
which are, in fact, the real cause Of all the
excitement IN England, appear in the
American case under the head Of indemnity
for national expenditure in the pursuit of
those confederate cruisers which were al
lowed to sail from British ports, and for
the loss Of the transfer Of nearly all the
American commercial marine to the British
, flag. These points may or may not be thrown
out by the arbitrat0rs. Indeed, not a few
public men here Of both parties fear that
the actual losses, even, will uOc be allowed,
IN the belief that Great Britain will be able
to prove that due diligence was exercised
within the meaning Of international law,
and the definition laid down in the sixth
article Of the Washington treaty to prevent
the confederate cruisers frum sailing from
British ports.
