Spoken at Big Hotels.
Special Gable to The American.

LONDON, July 19.-London has
been so full Of Americans this season
that there was no longer room for
Brltishers, and many moved with
their baggage to the contiguous is

The shopkeepers still stayed on, how
ever.
Partisan methods in the hotels are
being ousted to give place to Ameri-
can dishes. Colored and alluring ads
are tempting Our dear American
friends" to buy and announcements
are put up that American is spoken
here"
The English, in fact. are com
mencing to speak American" quite
intelhgibly. This is being helped by
the incursion Of American dishes into
the cuisine of the great hotels, which
are now seeking TO follow New York
models.
