The American are still hoping that a decision one way or the other will be reached before August 7 to enable them to sail for home on the steamer Leviathan, but say that if the British proffer anything susceptible of an “acceptable agree- ment,” they are prepared to “fight it out along this line if it takes all summer” in order not to return empty-handed. It is known that the American delegation and the state department at Washington have been in almost constant communication so as to be well prepared for discussion of tho problems awaiting settlement in the light of any new ideas introduccd by Mr. Bridgeman apd Lord Cecil upon their return.
