CURzON IRR|TATES
STATE DEPARTMENT
New Note to Refute British
Contentious in Con-
suIar Case.

The latest note of the British
government on the Newcastle case
is unsatisfactory to the United
States.
The American consulate will re-
main closed. it was learned off.
cially last night. A new American
note, setting forth the fallacies OF
the British contentious, will be dis
patched shortly.
Keen resentment was felt in Off
cial circles here at the tone of Lord
Curzon's communication. Not only
does the note fail to contribute
anything in substantiation of British
charges against Slater and Brooks.
American consul and vice consul
at Newcastle, it was declared, but
it also tends to create misapprehen.
sions OF the true facts.
The three statements referred to
by Lord Curzon as having been of.
Tered by the British government to
prove that Brooks and Slater used
undue influence to persuade travel.
ers to use American ships were
ridiculed by American officials. 1t
was stated that these documents
not only were not signed, but were
almost unbelievably weak, and did
not in the slightest degree tend to
prove the charges.
vigorous exception is taken to
Lord Curzon's statement that the
British government had not been
informed of Investigations instituted
by this government. 1t was de.
clared emphatically that two sep
arate inquiries were made by the
United States into the charges
against Slater and Brooks. and that
the British government was for.
mally notified of the results. Fur.
thermore, member of the British
foreign office was verbally informed
in detail of the findings Of the in
vestigation.
AS for Lord Curzon's contention
that no evidence was submitted to
the British foreign office by the
United States, officials declared that
none was ever requested, and that
none could properly be expected, in.
asmuch as the British government
had made the charges and the
American inquiry merely negatived
them. The burden of proof, this
government holds, lies with the
British authorities, and to date
they have failed to produce any
proof.

The nomination of James g.
McNary as comptroller Of the cur
rency last night failed Of confirma.
