Answer to U. S. Protest
Against Mail Seizures
Unsatisfactory.
ENGLAND FIRM IN
PRESENT ATTITUDE
Action Regarded by Washington as
Unwarranted and Without Authority
Of international Law-Merohant
Affected by Blacklist Order Prepar-
ing to Filc Protest With State De-
MISUNDERSTANDING Evidence.

Washington July 24.-Great Britain's
part reply to the American note pro-
testing against interference with neu-
tral mails is regarded by officials as
unsatisfactory, principally it's details
with specific cases instead of the prin-
cipies involved. Officials infer them to
communicate that Great Britain is de-
termined to uphold her attitude, which
the United States regards as unwar-
ranted and without authority Of inter
national law.
Acting Secretary Polk said he would
cable Ambassador Page. acknowledging
receipt of the British communication
and repeating the request for an early
reply to the last American note. He
said memorandum would be given for
publication later in the day.
President Wilson told callers today
that the British blacklist was causing
him a great deal of concern but ndi-
Gated that details of the plan of the
American government to meet the
situation had not been decided upon.
Senator Hoke Smith, who said he
spoke only for himself. declared he
thought the issue would be settled
either by withdrawal or modification
of the black list.

UNREST IN IRELAND.

stepping Temporary Agreement.
London. July 24.-Premier Asauith
today told John Redmond, leader OF
the Irish nat.onalistS that the British
government did not propose to intro
duce an Irish bill in regard to which
there did not appear 10 be an agree
ment by all political parties.
Mr.. Redmond obtained leave TO
move the adjournment OF the house in
order "to call attention to the rapidly
growing unrest IN Ireland owing to
the fact that the government did not
propose to carry out In entirety the
terms submitted for temporary settle
ment"
Confirming tie suspicion that the
cabinet had been unable to reach a
decision. Premier Asquith announced
that the government would not intro
duce any bill with regard to which
there was no agreement.
This was taken to mean that home
rule had been dropped for the moment
and that David Lloyd Georges nego-
tiations had come to naught.
The stumbling block appears to
have been the retention in parliament
of nationalist representatives in uri-
diminished numbers.
John Redmond moved an adjourn
ment of the house to discuss the
premier's reply and lively debate
when the regular business of the
house was concluded was anticipated
