sehlng thls enormous claim for the fisheries they only
ouo@ our example m presenting the indirect claims at
seneNA England Is now firmly supporting the Cana
diah government ia the demand for the deternina-
hon or the amount due her under the treaty
y anu @ nus one honorable course seoms 70 remain
% oa' government II - TO refuse absolutely
and AZ any risk TO recognize the enormous claims
wnoh Canada has presented Hitherto Mr. Fish has
succeeded IN delaying the question by a diplomatic
correspondence; but the government al London and
Ottawa have become very dissatisfied with this delay
The question must ere long up squarely England
being the proponent whether the United states Win or
will not proceed TO organize the commission and allow
the amount OF the fishery damage 10 be determined
FINAL ANSWER REQUIRED
There is reason TO believe that this issue has already
arisen aud that our government preparing reply
once for all, that II VIII not organize the commission
while the Canadian demands SO exorbtant and
that it will never under any circumstances pay
the amount claimed Nothing can be palmer
than that our government In making this
reply, must make It hrmly and forclby aud
must 90 prepared to sustain the refusal with its
army and navy, If need be Herein there Is
every reason to believe viii be found the ultimate
explanation of the extraordinary naval preparations
now making by this country A survey OF what Is
dong at the different yards and ports shows that il
is not offensive war against some other power,
but
STRONG DEPENsvB POSITION
which our government is assuming In this conneston
the dispatches from Newport concerning the orders
connection the preparations making 70 protect the
mouth of the Mississippi from the approach
II is probable tha. BY midwinter every
port whole will be eectually guarded by
torpcdoes and iron clads The apparent concentration
of naval forces south of New York may be only clever
ruse TO throw Suspicion of the real intention of the
government but in concentrating large feet Of iron
clads Norfolk and Fortress Monroe the government
is only taking the most proper TO defend the
Chesapeake Bay and the CAPITOL which, the last war
with England, proved to DO
MOST vULNERABLE POINT
IL is unnecessary to say that II government
going TO choose the time to make firm defence against
foreign naval assaults II would choose the OF
midwinter, when our fishing vessels have returned
from Their stations along the Canadian coast, when
of the renders il exceedingly difficult Tor iron
clad vessels to cross the Atlantic.
GRANTS TELBGRAPHIC INTERVIEW WITH SHERMAN
When General Sherman had a four hours talk by
telegraph with the President the other day II was OH
caliy denied that the subject under consideration was
our relations with Span, but 1t may not be denied
that the matters talked about were the syail
ability Of the army for sudden defence
extraordinary and IS OF the most significant crcum
stances that has been mentioned in connection with
the rumors OF war Another notable fact is that the
English press at this time betrays remarkable interest
in naval preparations and foreign relations
generally and seems to be far more excited upon the
subject than our own newspapers Considering the
gravity of relations with England, IL is truly
markahe that the American public has remained in
such complete and bissful ignorance Of the facts
the case
