OCCUPATION ARMY O 187S.

PAYING AMBRICA'S BILL.

PARIS, March 1;

Mr. Wadsworth, assistant secretary to the american Treasury arrived in Paris to discus with the alligă: experte the question of the cost of the American army of occupation. The expenses of all the armies of occupation have been recovered by the Allies generally from Germany but the method of recouping the United States has hitherto not been settled. :

Le Pelit Parision says that if the euggestion is true that Mr. Wadsworth' may be authorised to asospt "deliveries in kind, especially akamicals and dyes, an equitable agreement can bardly be refused as the needs of the United States can easily be satisfied by the Allies who control the German factories, Another point likely to entail thorny discussions is the suggestion now, mada by the French press that the ocupation of the Rohr was a eauction. imposed by the Allier and therefore Germany is under obligation to pay additional expenses thereunder.

NEWCASTLE CONSULATE.

CURIOUS DISPUTE.

J.

LONDON, March 1, The Foreign Office has received from the United States a note atating its intantion to re open the con sulate at Newcastle. It appears that Britain offered to withdraw the charges against the consal and vice-consul without prejudics provided tha clasalate was re-opened. The American Government however consider that a thorough investigation has shown conclusively that the charges were meaubstantiated and have demanded exoneration of the officials: Britain refused, hence the American decision. The dispute is cucions bensure both sides are within their legal rights and international law is not involved,

[A cable received on September 1 stated:-"âu ex- traordinary step has been taken by the British Govem~ ment in withdewing the exquatur of the United State Consal at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The 'Conenl-Usnéral, in London his consequently ordered the closing of the office temporarily. It is understood that the action was due to an allegation of dificulties put in the way of visning the passports of passengers who were not promised a xorage on-American vessels. It is smalled that the American Government similarly revoked thick exqusturs in 1856 because British Consula in the United States were alleged to halp maraiting for the British Army."]`
