OUR QUARREL WITH BRITONs
Indications of Trouble Sent out One
day and Denied the Next

The following message was sent
out from London on Monday:
London, Sept at is Officially
announced that the British Govern
ment will make formal demand up
on the United States Government for
Arbitration of It's claim that the
Panama Canal Toll Act as passed re-
Gently by the United States Con-
gress violates the Hay Pauncefote
treaty.
Nothing definitely is known here
beyond the brief official announce
ment that the formal demand will
be made, but It is believed that in
structions are already enroute TO
the British Embassy at Washington
concerning the situation.
The British demand will be made
under the arbitration convention of
1908. Great Brittain's conten-
tion will be that the question at is
sue does not affect the vital inter
ests, independence and honor of the
United States, and that. therefore It
is clearly within the scope of the
1908 convention, since the matter
to be arbitrated is not an act of Con
gress, but an Interpretation of the
ay-Pauncefote treaty.
On the following day flat de-
nial was sent out ofthe Monday
story 1t is charged that news agen-
cies coined the story.
London, Sept. "a complete dis
avowal is given this morning by the
British foreign Office of the so-called
official announcement that the Brit
ish Government will formally de-
mand arbitration on the Panama ca
nal tolls question.
"The lines of action which lie be
fore the British government are now
being considered and any announce
ment of this kind is premature"
This is the full text of the for
eign office this morning in reply to
requests for details as to the re-
ported demand for arbitration
In regard to the publication of
report the officials of the foreign Of
fee said in the first place It was
wholly Incorrect. for no announce
ment OF any sort had been made nor
even decided on by the British gov
