London, Jan. 18, 622 p. m—The merican__em! has not sent any notification to the state department that Great Britain’ intends to change the situation created by the Orders- in-council into an actual blockade. Some time ago the embassy notified the state department by letter that there was a great deal of discussion in the British press and among the unofficial public concerning the possi- bility of a change in the blockade pol- lcy of the government. British ofeial circles, . however, declare that no chaunge will me ~made untill the sub- ject is freely debated in the house of ‘commons. A debate of this character is_expected socn. t seems evident that the foreign office is weary of the criticism which its policy has been subjected to and that it will be quite willing to have the subject freely ventilated In parli- ament, but it is not regarded as likely that it will grant the demands of the extremists that the entire control of the blockade of the central powers be surrendered to the admiralty. The British answer to the latest American note on shipping is virtual- 1y ready to be despatched to Washing- ton and it is expected it will be sent as-soon as the note has been submit- ted to the French government for its approval.
