LoNDoy.-The Times this morning again
discusses the alabama case and the claims of the
United States Government, and says England will
pay nothing save what she is required to in obedi-
once to the decision of the Geneva Tribunal of
Arbitration. She has never dreamed of offering
any composition of the difficulties outside of the
treaty. If the treaty is a failure, it is the fault of
the American Government.
March L.
new YoRK.-Five persons were killed and 30

A|SHINGTON.-I he American reply TO Earl
GranVille's note was fully and finally agreed up
on in Cabinet meeting to-day and was forward
ed to. night, so as to take Saturdays steamer
from New York. It'll perfectly safe to say, from
what is known of its contents, that its reception
by the English Cab net will not be the cause of
war. On the contrary, so far as the tone Of the
reply is concerned, it is not only eminently paoi-
hc, but it is very suggestive, by pointing out q
way of escape by which the British government
can avoid its present unpleasant dilemma. Much
regret and some surprise is expressed in the re-
ply that England should so interpret the treaty
as to lead to a possible reopening of the questions
supposed to be closed by the negotiation. The
record of the negotiations rs written in tie pro
toCols. is adduced to show that the American Com
missioners never waived the claims for indirect
losses, except when proposing to accept a sum in
gross as an amicable settlement, which PROPOSE
ton was rejected by the British Commissioners.
The treaty itself is considered to show that the
presentation of the claims is not barred, and the
action OF the mixed commission i'll this city, in
the matter of the presentation OF the Confeder-
ate cotton loan claims, which were expressly e-
cluded by the language of the treaty, is cited to
show the action of this Government, when the
positions of the parties are precisely reversed.
The reply further states, and this is probably the
most important feature of it, that the President
IS perfectly willing to submit the question OF
jurisdiction to the Geneva Tribunal itself for de-
cision, and the British government is assured
that the President is far moro anxious that the
international question involved in these claims
should be forever settled by this tribunal, and thus re-
moved from the arena of discussion and dispute, than
he is to obtain any verdict Of exemplary damages. 1t
is confidently anticipated here that the reception of
this reply will have a very modifying influence on
public sentiment there, and yet there is nothing what
ever in it that indicates in the least an receding from
the position assumed at the outset. There are many
people here who do not believe the Treaty of Wash
ington a thing of the past by any means.
PARIs.-Marshal Canrobert has arrived here. The
raising of the state OF siege will not be r~e-agitated at
