AMERICA'S NEWCASTLE CONSULATE.

Loodon, Mareb 1.

The Foreign Office has received a linited States note atating the latter's intention not to reopen its consulate at Newcastle, which was' closed owing to the alleged activities of the consul as a steamship agant. It appears that Britain offered to withdraw the charges again the consul and vice-consul, without prejudice, provided the consolate be reopened. The American Government, however, consider that a thorough investigation has shown conclusively that the charges are unsubstantiated, and have demanded exoneration of the officials. Britain has refused, hence the American decision. The bipate is curious, because both sides are within their legal rights and international law is not involved.
