In 1873, Mr. J. O. Bancroft Davis, then Assistant Secretary of State, having prepared an appendix containing certain treaties and conventions which had been omitted from the previous collection, and others which had been exchanged since its publication and prior to September 1, 1873, and a valuable introductory note, with a further series of notes relating to many treaty questions, and also careful analytical and synoptical in- dexes, compiled a new volume, containing the treaties as published in Executive Document No. 36,, above referred to, and adding thereto the appendix, the notes, and the indexes. The value of that volume has lead the compiler hereof to collect the late treaties and conventions and present them in much the same form. All treaties and conventions which appe'ar in the appendix to the «dition of 1873, with a single treaty (Japan, 1866) not appearing therein, and all treaties and conventions exchanged since September, 1873, and up to the present time, are herein contained, all of which are now printed in a style uniform with that employed in printing the body of the trea- ties and conventions contained in the edition of 1873. A few notes have been added, relating solely to questions which have 1 ately arisen, or to late decisions, and which, although probably of no general interest, are arranged for convenience after the manner adopted by Mr. Davis. When decisions or opinions are cited it is only for the purposed reference, without assuming to give the bearing of the decis ion or opinion or its effect upon any Department of the Government. A table of contents has been added, comprising the contents of the edition of 1873 and of this publication, and the list of treaties appearing in the edition of 1873, has been continued. As one object of an analyt- ical and synoptical index is to provide a ready means of reference to all the states which have entered into treaties or conventions upon certain subjects, and to all treaties and conventions which have been entered into with each particular state, it has been deemed necessary to reprint 1086 TREATIES AND CONVENTIONS. the two indexes contained in the edition of 1873, incorporating the late treaties contained herein, and referring to the same as contained in an appendix, and for this reason the paging of this publication begins with page 1083, taking up the edition of 1873 at the commencement of the index. As will be seen, care has been taken to preserve the volume of Mr. Davis in its entirety as far as possible, the material contained in pages 903 to 927 of that volume and new indexes being contained however herein. By this means this public ation may be placed after Mr, Davis's notes in the edition of 1873, and rebound, or used in connection there- with. The compiler hereof expresses his obligations to Mr. John H. Haswell, Chief of the Bureau of Archives and Indexes of the Department of State , .for his assistance, and to Mr. Olapp, the Government Printer, and Mr. Brian, the Foreman of the Government Printing Office, for their care and accuracy.

PROTOCOL O? A CON'FEREyCE HELD AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE, DECEM- BER 9, 1850. Abbott Lawrence, Esquire, tlie Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America at the court of Her Britannic Majesty, and Viscount Palmerston, '=°""»"''^-»"'" Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Af- fairs, having met together at the foreign office : Mr. Lawrence stated that he was instructed Gy his Government to call the attention of the British Government to the dangers to which the important commerce of the great Lakes of the Interior of America, and more particularly that concentrating at the town of Buffalo near the entrance of the Ifiagara Kiver from Lake Erie, and that passing through the Welland Canal, is exposed from the want of a lighthouse near the outlet of Lake Erie. Mr. Lawrence stated that the current of the xfiagara Eiver is at that spot very strong, and increases in rapidity as the river approaches the falls ; and as that part of the river is neces- sarily used for the purpose of a harbor, the Congress of the Unitel States, in order to guard against the danger arising from the rapidity of the current, and from other local causes, made an appropriation for the construction of a lighthouse at the outlet of the lake. But on a local survey being made, it was found that the most eligible site for the erection of the lighthouse was a reef known by the name of the "Horse- shoe Eeef," which is within the dominions of Her Britannic Majesty; and Mr. Lawrence was therefore instructed by the Government of the United States to ask whether the Government of Her Britannic Majesty will cede to the United States the Horse-shoe Keef, or such part thereof as may be necessary for the purpose of erecting a lighthouse ; and if not, whether the British Government will itself erect and maintain a lighthouse on the said Eeef. Viscount Palmerston stated to Mr. Lawrence in reply, that Her Maj- esty's Government concurs in opinion with the Government cession of Hor.e- of the United States, that the proposed lighthouse would nXds^^'b^GrS? be of great advantage to all vessels navigating the Lakes ; uoS^Jr a^ihtho""^; and that Her Majesty's Government is prepared to advise "'°'"'°- Her Majesty to cede to the United Stat«s such portion of the Horse-shoe Eeef as may be found requisite for the intended lighthouse, provided the Government of the United States will engage to erect such light- house, and to maintain a light therein ; and provided no fortification be erected on the said Eeef. Mr. Lawrence and Viscount Palmerston, on the part of their respect- ive Governments, accordingly agreed that the British Crown should make this cession, and that the United States should accept it, on the abovemeutioned conditions.

PROTOCOL* RESPECTING THE RIGHT OP FOREIGNERS TO HOLD REAL ESTATE IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. CONCLUDED AUGUST 11, 1874. PRO- CLAIMED OCTOBER 29, 1874. The United States of America and His Majesty the Sultan being de- sirous to establish by a special act the agreement entered upon between them regarding the admission of American citizens to the right of hold- ing real estate, granted to foreigners by the law promulgated on the 7th of Sepher, 1284, (January 18th, 1867,) have authorized : The President of the United States of America George H. Boker, Minister Resident of the United States of America near the Sublime Porte, and His Imperial Majesty the Sultan His Excellency A. Aarifl Pasha, His Minister of Foreign Affairs, to sign the Protocol which follows : PROTOCOL. The law granting foreigners the right of holding real-estate does not interfere with the immunities specified by the treaties, and which will continue to protect the person and the movable property of foreigners who may become owners of real estate. As the exercise of this right of possessing real property may induce * Translation. OTTOMAN EMPIRE, 1874. 1161 foreiguers to establish themselves in larger numbers in the Ottoman Empire, the Imperial government thinks it proper to anticipate and to prevent the diificulties to which the application of this law may give rise in certain localities. Such is the object of the arrangements which follow. The domicile of any person residing upon the Ottoman soil being in- violable, and as no one can enter it without the consent of the owner^ except by virtue of orders emanating from competent authority and with the assistance of the magistrate or functionary invested with the necessary powers, the residence of foreigners is inviolable on the same principle, in conformity with the treaties, and the agents of the public force cannot enter it without the assistance of the consul or of the del- egate of the consul of the Power on which the the foreigner depends. By residence we understand the house of inhabitation and its depen- dencies : that is to say, the out-houses, courts, gardens and neighboring enclosures, to the exclusion of all other parts of the property. In the localities distant by less than nine hours journey from the con- sular residence, the agents of the public force cannot enter the residence of a foreigner without the assistance of a consul, as was before said. On his part the consul is bound to give his immediate assistance tO' the local authority, so as not to let six hours elapse between the moment which he may be informed and the moment of his departure, or the de- parture of his delegate, so that the action of the authorities may never be suspended more than twenty-four hours. In the localities distant by nine hours or more than nine hours of travel from the residence of the consular agent, the agents of the public force may on the request of the local authority and with the assistance of three members of the Council of the Elders of the Commune, enter into the residence of a foreigner, without being assisted by the consular agent, but only in case of urgency, and for the search and the proof of the crime of murder, of attempt at murder; of incendiarism, of armed robbery either with infraction or by night in an inhabited house, of armed rebellion and of the fabrication of counterfeit money, and this entry may be made whether the crime was committed by a foreigner or by an Ottoman sub- ject, and whether it took place in the residence of a foreigner or not in bis residence, or in any other place. These regulations are not applicable but to the parts of the real estate which constitute the residence, as it has been heretofore defined. Beyond the residence, the action of the police shall be exercised freelj' and without reserve ; but in case a]person charged with crime or offence, should be arrested, and the accused shall be a foreigner, the immunities attached to his person shall be observed in respect to him. The functionary or the officer charged with the accomplishment of a domiciliary visit, in the exceptional circumstances determined before, and the members of the Council of Elders who shall assist him, will be obliged to make oat a prods-verbal of the domiciliary visit, and to com- municate it immediately to the superior authority under whose jurisdic- tion they are, and the latter shall transmit it to the nearest consular agent without delay. A special regulation will be promulgated by the Sublime Porte, to- determine the mode of action of the local police in the several cases pro- vided heretofore. In localities more distant than nine hours' travel fiom the residence of the consular agent, in which the law of the judicial organization of the 1162 TREATIES AND CONVENTIONS. yelayet may be in force, foreigners shall be tried, without the assistance of the consular delegate by the Council of Elders fulfilling the function of justices of the peace, and by the tribunal of the canton, as well for actions not exceeding one thousand piastres as for offences entailing a fine of five hundred piastres only at the maximum. Foreigners shall have, in any case, the right of appeal to the tribunal of the arrondissemeat against the judgments issued as above stated, and the appeal shall be followed and judged with the assistance of the consul, in conformity with the treaties. The appeal shall always suspend the execution of a sentence. In all cases the forcible execution of the judgments, issued on the con- ditions determined heretofore not take place withoTut the cooperation tion of the consul or of his delegate. The Imperial government will enact a law which shall determine the rules of procedure to be observed by the i)arties, in the application of the preceding regulations. Foreigners, in whatever locality they may be, may freely submit them- selves to the jurisdiction of the Council of Elders or of the tribunal of the canton without the assistance of the consul in cases which do not ex- ceed the competency of these councils or tribunals, reserving always the right of appeal before the tribunal of the arron dissement, where the case may be brought and tried with the assistance of the consul or his dele- gate. The consent of a foreigner to be tried as above stated, without the assistance of his consul, shall always be given in writing and in advance of all procedure. It is well understood that all these restrictions do not concern cases which have for their object questions of real estate, which shall be tried and determined under the conditions established by the law. The right of defence and the publicity of the hearings shall be assured in all cases to foreigners who may appear before the Ottoman tribunals, as well as to Ottoman subjects. The preceding dispositions shall remain in force until the revision of the ancient treaties, a revision which the Sublime Porte reserves to itself the right to bring about hereafter by an understanding between it and the friendly Powers.

[L.s.| [Translation.] Law conceding to foreigners the right of holding real estate in the Ottoman Empire. Imperial rescript. — Let it be done in conformity with the contents. 7 Sepher, 1284. (January IS, 18C7.) With the object of developing the prosperity of the country, to put an end to the difficulties, to the abuses and to the uncertainties which have arisen on the subject of the right of foreigners to hold property in the Ottoman Empire, and to complete, in accordance with a precise regula- tion, the safeguards which are due to financial interests and to adminis- trative action, the following legislative enactments have been promul- gated by the order of His Imperial Majesty, the Sultan. OTTOMAN EMPIRE, 1874. 1163 Aet. I. Foreigners are admitted, by the same privilege as Ottoman subjects, and withont any other restriction, to enjoy the right of holding real estate whether in the city or the country, throughout the empire, with the exception of the province of the H6djaz, by submitting themselves to the laws and the regulations which govern Ottoman subjectei, as is hereafter stated. This arrangement does not concern subjects of Ottoman birth who have changed their nationality, who shall be governed in this matter by a special law. Akt. II. Foreigners, proprietors of real estate in town or in country, are in consequence placed upon terms of equality with Ottoman subjects in all things that concern their landed property. The legal effect of this equality is — 1st. To oblige them to conform to all the laws and regulations of the police or of the municipality which govern at present or may govern hereafter the enjoyment, the transmission, the alienation and the hypo- thecation of landed property. 2d. To pay all charges and taxes under whatever form or denomina- tion they may be, that are levied, or may be levied hereafter, upon city or country property. 3d. To render them directly amenable to the Ottoman civil tribunals in all questions relating to landed property, and in all real actions, whether as plaintiffs or as defendants, even when either party is a for- eiglner. In short, they are in all things to hold real estate by the same tite, on the same condition and under the same forms as Ottoman owners, and without being able to avail themselves of their personal nationality, except under the reserve of the immunities attached to their persons and their movable goods, according to the treaties. Art. III. In case of the bankruptcy of a foreigner possessing real estate, the assignees of the bankrupt may apply to the authorities and to the Otto- man civil tribunals requiring the sale of the real estate possessed by the bankrupt, and which by its nature and according to law is responsible for the debts of the owner. The same course shall be followed when a foreigner shall have ob - tained against another foreigner owning real estate a judgment of con- demnation before a foreign tribunal. For the execution of this judgment against the real estate of his debtor, he shall apply to the competent Ottoman authorities, in order to obtain the sale of that real estate which is responsible for the debts of the owner ; and this judgment shall be executed by the Ottoman authorities and tribunals only after they have decided that the real estate of which the sale is required really belongs to the category of that property which may be sold for the payment of debt. Akt. IV. Foreigners have the privilege to dispose, by donation or by testament, of that real estate of which such disposition is permitted by law. 6 c T 1164 TREATIES AND CONVENTIONS. As to that real estate of which they may not have disposed, or of which the law does not permit them to dispose by gift or testament, its succession shall be governed in accordance with Ottoman law. Art. V. All foreigners shall enjoy the privileges of the present law, as soon as the Powers on which they depend shall agree to the arrangements proposed by the Sublime Porte for the exercise of the right to hold real estate.

The said deserters, when arrested, shall be delivered to the consuls or vice-consuls, or, at the request of these, shall be put in the public prisons, and maintained at the expense of those who reclaim them, to be delivered to the vessels to which they belong, or sent to others of the same nation ; but if the said deserters should not be so delivered or sent within the term of two months, to be counted from the day of their arrest, they shall be set at liberty, and shall not be again apprehended for the same cause.

And where the deceased has been engaged in commerce or other business, the consuls or vice-consuls shall hold the effects and property so remain- ing until the expiration of twelve calendar months ; during which time the creditors, if any, of the deceased shall have the right to present their claims and demands against the said effects and property, and all questions arising out of such claims or demands shall be decided by the 1176 TREATIES AND CONVENTIONS. laws of the country wbereiu the said citizens may have died. It is understood, nevertheless, that, if no claim or demand shall have been made against the effects and property of an individual so deceased, the consuls or vice-consuls, at the expiration of the twelve calendar months, may close the estate, and dispose of the effects and property, in accord- ance with the instructions from their own Goverumeuts.

It is agreed that all such claims shall be submitted to arbitrators, ci'ims to be .u ^^^ ^ ^^ appoiutcd by the Secretary of State of the United initted™to° Jbpaj Statcs, anothcr by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister dSreemeStTo ™- Plenipotentiary of Spain at Washington, and these two to name an umpire who shall decide all questions upon which they shall be unable to agree ; and in case the place of either arbitra- tor or of theumpire shall from any cause become vacant, such vacancy shall be filled forthwith in the manner herein provided for the original appointment. 2. The arbitrators and umpire so named shall meet at Washington Organisation of wltfain oue mouth from the date of their appointment and claims commission, ghall, bcforc procecding to busiuBss, mafcc and subscribe a solemn declaration that they will impartially hear and determine, to the best of their judgment and according to public law, and the treaties in force between the two countries, and these present stipulations, all such claims as shall, in conformity with this agreement, be laid before them on the part of the Government of the United States ; and such declara- tion shall be entered upon the record of their proceedings. 3. Each Government may name an advocate to appear before the arbi- Each Bovernment trators Or tho umplre, to represent the interests of the parties may name an advo- i • i «"«■ respectively. 4. The arbitrators shall have full power, subject to these stipulations, and it shall be their duty before proceeding with the hearing and decis- ion of any case, to make and publish convenient rules prescribing the time and manner of the presentation of claims aud of the proof thereof; and any disagreement with reference to the said rules of proceeding shall be decided by the umpire. It is understood that a reasonable ciaimi to be pre- pGrlod sliall bo allowed for the presentation of the proofs ; l™me„?o7 tf. iSl: that all claims and the testimony in favor of them shall be ted States. prcscuted only through the Government of the United States ; that the award made in each case shall be in writing aud, if SPAIN, 1871. 1201 indemnity be given, the sum to be paid shall be expressed in the gold coin of the United States. 5. The arbitrators shall have jurisdiction of all claims presented to them by the Government of the United States for injuries E«entof juruto- done to citizens of the United States by the authorities of ""-^ *= Spain iu Cuba since the first day of October, 1868. Adjudications of the tribunals in Cuba, concerning citizens of the United States, made in the absence of the parties interested, or in violation of international law, or of the guarantees and forms provided for in the treaty of October 27, 1795, between the United States and Spain, may be re- viewed by the arbitrators, who shall make such award in any such case as they shall deem just. No judgment of a Spanish tribunal, dis- allowing the afi&rmation of a party that he is a citizen of the United States shall prevent the arbitrators from hearing a reclamation pre- sented in behalf of said party by the United States Government. Ifever- theless, in any case heard by the arbitrators, the Spanish Government may traverse the allegation of American citizenship and thereupon competent and sufiQcient proof thereof will be required. The commis- sion having recognized the quality of American citizens in the claim- ants, they will acquire the rights accorded to them by the present stip- ulations as such citizens. And it is further agreed that the arbitrators shall not have jurisdiction of any reclamation made in behalf of a native-born Spanish subject naturalized in the United States if it shall appear, that the same subject-matter having been adjudicated by a com- petent tribunal in Cuba and the claimant, having appeared therein, either in person or by his duly appointed attorney and being required by the laws of Spain to make a declaration of his nationality, failed ot declare that he was a citizen of the United States ; in such case and for the purposes of this arbitration, it shall be deemed and taken that the claimant, by his own default, had renounced his allegiance to the United States. And it is further agreed that the arbitrators shall not have jurisdiction of any demands growing out of contracts. 6. The expenses of the arbitration will be defrayed by a percentage to be added to the amount awarded. The compensation of the ^^ arbitrators and umpire shall not exceed three thousand dol- ^i«"«»- lars each ; the same allowance shall be made to each of the two advocates representing respectively the two Governments; and the arbi- trators may employ a secretary at a compensation not exceeding the sum of five dollars a day for every day actually and necessarily given to the business of the arbitration. 7. The two Governments will accept the awards made in the several cases submitted to the said arbitration as final and conclus- ^^^^ ^^ ^^^^ ive, and will give full effect to the same in good faith and as soon as possible.

N OTES ABROGATED, SVSPENBED, OR OBSOI.ETI: TREATIES. 1. — Treaties terminated in consequence of notice given in a^ccordance with the provisions of the treaty. Guatemala, 1849. Belgium, 1858. Ottoman Empire, 1862. 2. — Treaties with powers which have been absorbed or consolidated with other nationalities. The establishment of the German Empire in 1871, and the complex relations of its component parts to each other and to the Empire, nec- essarily give rise to questions as to the treaties entered into with the North German Confederation and with many of the States composing the Empire. It cannot be said that any fixed rules have been estab- lished. Where a State has lost its separate existence, as in the case of Han- over, no question can arise. Where qo new treaty has been negotiated with the Empire the trea- ties with the various States which have preserved a separate existence have been resorted to. The question of the existence of the extradition treaty with Bavaria was presented to the United States district court, on the application of a person accused of a forgery committed in Bavaria, to be discharged on habeas corpus, who was in custody after the issue of a mandate, at the request of the minister of Germany. The court held that the treaty was admitted by both governments to be in existence.* Such a question is, after all, purely a political one. In 1871 a consular convention was concluded with the German Em- pire, but even since this date, in some cases, exequaturs of consuls of the United States have been granted by the ruler of the particular State within which the consul is to act. The German minister, after the establishment of the Empire, in a note^ ' In re Thomas, 12 Blatohf., 370. = MS. Dept. of State. 1210 NOTES — ^ALIENS. dated October 19, 1871, forwarded to the Secretary of State a list of the cpnsuls appointed on behalf of the German Empire, and, requested the issue of exequaturs. These appointees were, in most cases, consuls holding appointments at the time from the North German TJuion or from some of the States of the Empire. This note also informed the Secre- tary of State of the abolition of the consulates of the North German Union. All consuls representing Germany, who are enumerated in the Reg- ister of the Department of State, are accredited by the Empire, Similar questions have also been raised as to consuls representing the Papal States, since the occupation of Eome by the Government of Italy. 3. — Treaties or^arts of treaties for which other agreements have been substi- tuted by acts of the parties. San Salvador, 1850 ; treaty of 1870 substituted so far as it relates to the same subjects. Belgium, 1858 ; treaty of 1875 substituted so far as it relates to the same subjects. ' Japan, 1858; convention of 1866 modifies the tariff of import and export duties contained in the trade-regulations annexed to the treaty of 1858. 4. — Treaties or parts of treaties annulled by a£ts of one party, or by a re- fusal to execute. Great Britain, treaty of 1842, article X. The refusal of Great Britain in 1876 to deliver Winslow and certain other fugitives then in custody, whose extradition had been demanded, can hardly fail under existing circumstances to operate as an abroga- tion of this article. The circumstances are referred to under the title " Extradition." [See " Great Bntain;" " Claims;" "Netherlands."} The duties of domiciled aliens have been discussed in the Supreme Court, and it has been held that domiciled aliens owe a local and tem- porary allegiance; that they are bound to obey all the laws of the coun- try not immediately relating to citizenship during their residence, and are amenable equally with citizens for any infractions of those laws.'

NOTES BELGIUM ^BAVARIA BRAZIL. 1211 [.See: " Extradition." -\ The extradition treaty of 1874 limited the operation of the treaty, as to crimes or offenses committed anterior to its date, to the crimes of murder and arson. Under article III Carl Vogt, whose surrender to Prussia under the treaty of 1852, and to Belgium, with which no treaty then existed, had been refused, (see " Extradition,") was surrendered to Bel- gium. Congress, by a joint resolution approved June 17, 1874, provided for notice to terminate the treaty of 1858, pursuant to the seventeenth arti- cle, and authorized the President to communicate such notice to the government of Belgium.* The Secretary of State, under date of June 17, instructed Mr. Jones, the minister of the United States at Brussels, to give the necessary no- tice, inclosing a copy of the joint resolution.^ The notice was given July 1, and the treaty terminated pursuant to its terms July 1, 1875.^ It had been found that the fourth and thirteenth articles of the treaty in their operation, and under the most favored nation clause in other treaties, worked a discrimination against the marine of the United States and in favor of that of foreign countries. Exemption from ton- nage-dues had been claimed by several foreign powers for their vessels, on account of the exemption accorded to Belgian vessels under the fourth article of the treaty. The causes making it necessary to abrogate the treaty, were commu- nicated to the goTernment of Belgium* and to Mr. Delfosse, the Belgian minister, by note dated IS'ovember 9, 1874.° The suggestion that the United States was ready to negotiate a new treaty, excluding the objectionable clauses, was met by the negotiation of the treaty of 1875, which included also some new provisions and went into effect about the date of the expiration of the treaty of 1858 .

CITIZENSHIP. Upon a question of the nationality of a child born of British parents during the period of joint occupation of Oregon, under the convention of 1818, it was held that a child born in 1823, of British subjects, was born in the allegiance of the King of Great Britain.^ A naturalized citizen born in Ireland is not entitled, when arraigned for a felony in Great Britain, to the privilege of a jury de mediatate.^ Cases arise from time to time where persons who, by the laws of the United States, are declared to be citizens of the United States, are also, by the law of some other country, held to allegiance in that country. In this class may be included persons born out of the' limits and jurisdiction of the United States .whose fathers were, at the time of their birth, citizens of the United States. Such a case being submitted to the Attorney-General, it was held that it was not competent for the United States to interfere with the rights of a foreign nation to the government and control of persons claimed to be its subjects so long as they were residing in such foreign country, and that passports should not be granted to persons born in Cura9oa and residing there without intention to reside in the United States, although children of native- born citizens of the United States.^ ' F.

NOTES CLAIMS. 1213' A woman born in the United States and married to a citizen of France, and domiciled there, cannot be regarded as a "citizen of the United States residing abroad.'" A naturalized citizen must have resided five years in the United' States before naturalization to become entitled to the immunities guar- anteed by the treaty of 1868 with the North German Confederation.* All persons who were citizens of Texas December 29, 1845, became citizens of the United States by the collective naturalization effected by the act of that date.^ An Austrian subject, naturalized in the United States, must have re- sided five years therein to entitle him to be regarded as a citizen of the United States within the convention of 1870.* The Attorney-General, considering the status of an alien woman mar- ried to a citizen of the United States, decided that an alien woman mar- ried to a citizen of the United States thereby becomes a citizen, irrespec- tive of the time or place of the marriage or residence of the parties.' C1.AOIS. The question of alien claims and the examination of claims by com- mittees of Congress have been a fruitful source of difficulty. A report made to the House of Eepresentatives, February 10, 1875,® contains much useful information on this subject. In the preface to this report, entitled "The Law of Claims against Gov- ernments," references are given to various discussions on the question in Congress and to a number of reports previously made upon the same subject. The Secretary of State, at the request of the Committee on War-Claims of the House, in 1874, instructed the diplomatic officers of the United States abroad to obtain information in reference to the adjustment of claims of individuals against the government of the countries to which they were accredited. The dispatches containing- this information form part of the report above referred to. It has been held by high authority that a foreigner residing in the country of a belligerent has no claim to indemnity for losses occasioned by acts of war of another belligerent, and, that on this principle, mer- chants domiciled at Valparaiso cannot sustain such a claim against Spain or Chili.^ On the same principle it has been held that a French subject, natural- ized in the United States, cannot maintain an action for property de- 'stroyed by the United States at Greytown.'

Judicial powers are not necessarily incident to the office of consul, although usually conferred in non-Christian countries. The Supreme Court of the United States has held that the treaties with the Ottoman Empire of 1830 and 1862 concede to the United States the same privileges in this respect as are enjoyed by other Christian nations, which may be exercised by the consuls.* In the revision of the Statutes the acts to carry into effect treaty pro- visions with certain non-Christian countries* appear in Title 47. In the enumeration of consular officers, upon whom judicial duties are devolved, consuls-general and vice-consuls were omitted in the revision of the Statutes.* The omission was rectified by an act of Congress approved February 1, 1876. The Federal court in California has considered the requisites in cases of appeal fi-om the consular and ministerial courts of China and Japan to the circuit court of the district of California.^ A consul cannot be required to certify to the official character or acts of a foreign notary public* A consul has no authority, since the passage of the act of 1872, to demand and receive from the master of a vessel the money and effects of a deserter.^ The consular officers named in article 10 of the treaty of 1828 with Prussia, have exclusive jurisdiction in a claim made by the crew against the vessel for the recovery of wages.^" An act" of Congress approved March 23, 1874, authorized the Presi- dent, when he should receive satisfactory information that the Ottoman government, or that of Egypt, had organized new tribunals likely to se- cure to citizens of the United States the same impartial justice enjoyed under the exercise of judicial function's by diplomatic and consular o&L- cers, pursuant to the act of June 22, 1860, to suspend the operation » Peet vs. Morgan, 19 Wall., 581 ; CannoD vs. New Orleans, 20 Wall., 577. » The Mer- ritt, 17 Wall., 582. ^ The Virginins, 14 Op.

The Department of State having been in- formed of the organization of such tribunals in Egypt, the President, upon March 27, 1 876, issued a proclamation' suspending, during the pleas- ure of the President, the operation of the act of June 22, 1860, within the dominions of the government of Egypt, so far as the jurisdiction of the new tribunals embraced matter cognizable by the minister, con- suls, or other functionaries of the United s'tates in said dominions, except as to cases in progress. The question of the judicial authority of consuls over persons serving on American vessels in China and Japan has been construed as author- izing consular officers to assume jurisdiction where offenses are com- mitted on shore by foreigners serving on board American merchant- vessels, when such foreigners are citizens or subjects of countries having no treaty engagements upon the subject with China and Japan, or when, being subjects or citizens of treaty-powers, their own consuls decline to assume jurisdiction.! , Persons serving on board national vessels who have committed offenses on shore in Japan and China are held to be subject to the jurisdiction of the conslil of the country under whose flag they are serving.^- A sentence of imprisonment rendered by a consular court cannot be legally executed beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the court. Persons convicted at Smyrna or Constantinople cannot, therefore, be brought to the United States for imprisonment.^ A consul of the United States in China cannot entertain a criminal charge against a citizen or subject of another power.' In 1874 the German government raised objection to the taking of testimony by consuls of the United States in G-ermany except as pro- vided by article 9 of the treaty of 1871 with the German Empire. The Department of State endeavored to induce the German authorities to permit testimony to be taken with the same freedom as in the United States, but without effect, it being stated that the law of Germany provided for letters rogatory in such cases.* EXPATRIATION. The Government of the United States has at all times insisted upon the individual right of expatriation, and has discussed the question with various foreign powers.' Congress," in 1868, declared expatriation to be "a natural and inherent right of all people, indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." 1 MS.

NOTES EXTEEEITOEIAIiITY. 1217 This right has fiaally been admitted by the conclusion of naturaliza- tion treaties with many foreign powers. Under date of August 6, 1873, the President submitted to the heads of the several Executive Departments of the Government a series of questions for their opinion, " with a view of forming a general plan of conduct for the Executive in respect to such questions." The replies to the questions submitted, and much valuable informa- tion contained in an appendix, were afterward published, nnder the title "Opinions of the Heads of the Executive Departments and other papers relating to Expatriation, ^Naturalization, and Change of Alle- giance.''i The President has, from time to time, called the attention of Congress to the necessity of legislation, and to the unsatisfa ctory condition of the law, upon these questions.^ A bill on the subject was introduced in the House January 7, 1875, which failed to pass, and a bill is now pending in the House on the same subject. EXTERRITORIAMTr. [See "Consuls;" "Ottoman Empire."'\ The Secretary of State, in an instruction^ to Mr. DeLong, dated Decem- ber 20, 1870, informed him that it was understood by the Department of State that the power conferred npon a minister by sections 5 and 6 of the act approved June 22, 1860, wa s confined to providing a course of procedure in pursuing judicial remedies, and did not extend to the creation of new rights or duties, or to the modification of personal rights and obligations under existing law. The regulations for the consular courts in Japan proposed by Mr. DeLong which were of a mixed character, containing regulations as to procedure and new enactments, were submitted to Congress,* but no action was taken. Upon several occasions the Department has expressed the view that no authority was conferred upon diplomatic officers to create new offenses, or prescribe new punishments for offenses.

Question has arisen as to the right of the government of Japan to enact regulations providing for security and good order, such as pilotage, muni- cipal or hunting regulations, and to make them binding on foreigners. On such subjects it seems necessary that power to enact binding regu- lations should exist somewhere, and while a disposition has been mani- fested to put such regulations, when approved, in force as against for- eigners, it has been insisted at the same time that all prosecutions against citizens of the United States for the infringement thereof must be con- ducted in the consular courts of the United States as provided by treaty. The Japanese government has from time to time proposed hunting* regulations, and also fishing^ regulations. EXTRADITION. In May, 1872, the governor of the State of Kew York, at the request of the minister of Belgium, issued a warrant for the extradition of one Carl Vogt, charged with the commission of murder and arson in Bel- gium. The accused obtained a habeas corpus, and was discharged. The question was afterward carried to the court of appeals of New York, which finally decided that the governor of the State of New York had no power to issue a warrant of extradition.^ This decision was unanimous, and in accord with the universal prac- tice and understanding on the question. In November, 1872, on the application of the German minister, a pre- liminary mandate was issued by the Department of State, under the con- vention of 1852 with Prussia and other states, for the arrest of the same person, charged with arson, murder, and robbery, who was represented to be a fugitive from the justice of the German Empire. It was alleged that Stupp, also known as Vogt, was a subject of the King of Prussia, who had committed these offenses at Brussels, in the kingdom of Bel- gium ; and extradition was demanded on the ground that, by the laws of Prussia, a Prussian subject who had committed such crimes in a foreign country was justiciable before its courts. The prisoner obtained a Tiaheas corpus, and it was held by the district judge, after a discussion of the whole subject of the meaning of the words "within the jurisdic- tion of the other" in the treaty, that the case was within the treaty.* The Secretary of State thereafter submitted the question to the Attor- ney-General, who held that, although by the law of Prussia the accused might be justiciable in that country for an offense committed elsewhere, yet the provisions of the treaty did not apply to an offense committed in another country.' A warrant of surrender was therefore refused. ' 2 F. R., 1875, 774. ^K,., 820, 829. ^ People ex rel. Barlow va. Curtis, 50 N. Y., 321. -"/m re Stupp, 11 Blatchf,, 124, R. S., Pub. Tr. 660. s 14 Op.

NOTES ^EXTEABITION. 1219 The Belgian minister thereupon addressed the Secretaary of State,* re- qaesting the surrender of the criminal as a matter of comity, although no treaty existed with Belgium, Mr. Delfosse was informed* that there were grave doubts as to the power of the President so to do, and the request was refused. Subsequently a treaty was negotiated with Belgium, under which Vogt was surrendered.^ The question has been discussed in several cases, whether a com- missioner has jurisdiction to entertain proceedings for the apprehen- sion of a fugitive from justice, under a treaty, without a mandate or authority for his apprehension from the Executive Department of the Government.* In a subsequent case it was held that where, by the terms of the treaty of extradition, an Executive mandate is not required, as a prerequisite, it is not necessary,^ nor is it necessary, that a warrant of arrest shonld have been issued or proceedings had against the accused in a foreign country.' It was held that, under the convention of 1868 with Italy, a person may be surrendered for the crime of murder committed before the making of the treaty.^ Writs of habeas corinis and certiorari may be issned where a person is held in custody under the commitment of a commissioner, but it has been held that the court will not revise the decision of the commissioner on the question of fact as to the criminality of the accused. Such an exam- ination is held to be reserved for the political department of the Govern- ment.'' In the revision of the statutes, the provisions of the act of June 22, 1860, as to evidence in extradition cases, were omitted. This error was rectified by the passage of an act entitled "An act to amend in section 5271 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States, relating to extradi- tion," approved June 19, 1876. A warrant of extradition cannot be used after the discharge of a pris- oner, on account of delay, as a warrant for his re-arrest." Under the extradition treaty with France a public officer of the United States who embezzles money and takes refuge in France may be de- manded for trial.' A prisoner in custody, in proceedings taken for extradition, may be held upon a second warrant issued against him for a distinct offense under the treaty, although discharged upon the warrant first issued, for want of sufficient evidence.'"

The British government declined to surrender the fugitive unless a stipulation or au assurance was given that he should not be tried for any offense other than the particular offense for which he should be surrendered, pursuant to the requirements of the British extradition act of 1870. The United States declined to give any stipulation or make any agreement not provided by the terms of the treaty, and a long correspondence ensued, which was submitted to Congress June 10, 1876.i Afterward, and on June 15, 1876, Winslow was discharged, and other fugitives in like condition were also discharged. The President thereupon communicated these facts to Congress in a message dated June 20, 1876,^ in which he stated : " The position thus taken by the British government, if adhered to, cannot but be regarded as the abrogation and annulment of the article of the treaty on extradi- tion. Under these circumstances it will not, in my judgment, comport with the dignity or self-respect of this Government to make demands on that government for the surrender of fugitive criminals nor to entertain any requisition of that character from that government under the treaty." The President also submitted to Congress the question whether the 10th article of the treaty of 1842 should be any longer regarded as bind- ing, and stated that he should not, without an expression of the wish of Congress to that end, " take any action either in making or granting re- quisitions for the surrender of fugitive criminals under the treaty of 1842." Apart from any action by Congress it cannot be doubted that the course of the British government in refusing to surrender these fugitives, if adhered to, practically terminates the 10th article of the treaty. The correspondence transmitted to Congress gives a complete history of the case, and discusses the whole question of extradition under the treaty of 1842. The government of Canada does not appear to have coincided in the views of the home government, as in cases arising since the case of Wins- low the authorities of Canada have been ready to deliver up persons charged with crime under the treaty as heretofore. It would be, however, impossible to execute the treaty in part. [See "Treaties;" "Extradition ;" "Consuls;" Abrogated, suspended, or oisoleie treaties."} CREAT BRITAIN.

Congress, by act approved June 20, 1874,* provided for a commission to report upon the possessory rights of British subjects. Pursuant to an act' of Congress approved March 19, 1872, Archibald Campbell was appointed commissioner on the part of the United States on the Joint Commission for determining the boundary-line between the United States and British Possessions, from the northwest angle of the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains.* The work of this commis- sion is now completed. With the award of the Emperor of Germany, the fixing of the bound- ary by the protocol of March 10, 1873, and the completion of the work of this commission, the boundary between the United States and the British possessions is finally adjusted, except as to the boundary between that portion of territory ceded by Eussia to the United States, under the treaty of 1867, and the possessions of Great Britain. On June 18, 1874, the President submitted to the Senate a projet,^ proposed by the British government, for a convention on the subject of commercial reciprocity between the United States and Canada. This convention, if approved, would have done away with the Fishery Commission provided for by article 22 of the Treaty of Washington. The Senate, however, declined to advise the negotiation of a treaty. The report of Eobert S. Hale, the agent and counsel of the United States before the mixed commission of American and British claims, dated November 30, 1873," contains a record of the proceedings of the commission, with a reference to the cases decided, and to certain of the opinions delivered. The sum of $1,929,819, in gold, subject to the deduction provided for by article 16 of the treaty, was awarded Sep- tember 25, 1873, "for and in full satisfaction of the several claims on the part of corporations, companies, or private individuals, subjects of Her Britannic Majesty, upon the Government of the .United States, arising out of acts committed against the persons or property of subjects of Her Britannic Majesty during the period between the i3th day of April, 1861, and the 9th day of April, 1865, inclusive."

Congress, by act' approved Jane 23, 1874, provided for a court for the adjudication and disposition of the amount awarded by the tribunal of arbitration at Geneva. The court was organized July 22, 1874, and is still in session, having been continued by proclamation of the President for the term of six months from the 22d day of July, 1874, pursuant to section 8 of the act organizing the court, and being further continued for the term of six months, pursuant to an act approved December 24, 1875, and again continued until January 1, 1877, pursuant to an act approved July 22, 1876. By a report^ made by the court, dated May 22, 1876, it appears that the claims adjudicated by the court up to January 22, 1876, including inter- est, amounted to $6,642,927.64. These are now being paid pursuant to section 3 of an act of February 15, 1876, A farther report has been made pursuant to section 2 of the act of February 15, 1876, showing further judgments rendered by the court between January 22 and July 22, 1876, which judgments are likewise entitled to payment. GUATEMALA. On the 12th of September, 1873, the minister of foreign affairs of Guatemala addressed a note^ to the minister resident of the United States, for the purpose of terminating the treaty of March 3, 1849, in which it was stated that from and after the day on which the Depart- ment of State at Washington shall receive the notification of the abro- gation of the treaty its existence would terminate. The notification was received November 4. Thereupon, the Secretary of State, in an instruc- tion^ to Mr. Williamson, dated November 5, 1873, stated that "the com- petency of that governmunt to give the notice, pursuant to the 33rd article, cannot be questioned. Tou are right in supposing, however, that the notice must not take effect when received by the government to which it may have been addressed, but in a year from that date. In this in- stance, therefore, the treaty will be regarded as at an end on the fourth of November, 1874." HA1VAIIAN ISI.ANDS. A treaty was concluded between the United States and the King of the Hawaiian Islands on the 30th of January, 1875, on the subject of commercial reciprocity.'

The tariff fixed by this convention provides for specific in place of ad valorem duties, and is a substitute for the tariffs previously agreed upon between Japan, France, Great Britain, Holland, and the United States. This convention went into operation July 1, 1866, the plenipotentiaries being of opinion that ratification by their respective governments was not necessary before the convention should take effect. Eatification was advised by the Senate June 17, 1868. In 1872 an embassy arrived from Japan, and afterward visited Europe, having in view, among other things, the revision of existing treaties. As with the Chinese treaties the question of revision is in pro- gress, but no conclusion has been reached. The Japanese government having paid a portion of the Simonoseki indemnity nnder the convention of October 22, 1864, the subject of relieving that government from the payment of the residue was on sev- eral occasions presented to Congress. No conclusion was reached, however, and as certain amounts were payable to the United States under the treaty, upon the 20th of April, 1874, Mr. Bingham was instructed* that "had the other powers interested refrained from collect- ing their portions, this Government would not have been disposed to press for its portion, notwithstanding the refusal of Congress to act on the subject. But as the other governments interested have been paid, you wUl make known to the Japanese government our expectation of being treated in the same manner." After this time Mr, Bingham re - ceived at different times the entire residue due the United States, the final amount having been paid in the month of July, 1874.' The Secretary of State, in a communication* to t&e Committee on Foreign Affairs, dated March 15, 1876, stated that the total of the several installments received amounted to £170,428 16«. M., equivalent to $785,000, and that he held registered bonds to the amount of $1,364,950, being the entire amount of the fund with the accumulated interest and the gain by the increase of the value of bonds and by exchange. 1 Ante, page 1136. ^ F.

By article 2 it was provided that a further extension of six months should be allowed the umpire if necessary. The umpire found it necessary to take advantage of this extension.

The note stated that, although the time fixed for giving notice to ter- minate the treaty has not yet arrived, the Imperial government had thought proper to give such notice, with a view to giving time to the high contracting parties to come to an early understanding. Under date of January 21, 1874, Aristarchi Bey was informed that no objec- tion existed to receiving the notice in advance of the period fixed by the treaty, but called attention to the fact that by the twenty-second aid;icle the second term of the seven years prescribed for its existence would only expire upon the 5th day of Jane, 1876.

Serions questions have arisen between the United States and Spain since the outbreak of the insurrection of 1863, and have not reached entire settlement up to the present time. The government of Spain, in its efforts to suppress the insurrection, has from time to time adopted meas- ures applicable to a state of war, but has at the same time contended that no war, as such, existed in Cuba when a claim has been made to belligerent rights by the insurrectionists, or when the question of the status in Cuba has been under discussion with foreign powers. Questions concerning the confiscation of estates of American citizens residing in Cuba; the trial of citizens of the United States, in violation of the safeguards provided by the treaty of 1795 ; the stoppage on the high seas of ves- sels carrying the flag of the United States; excessive fines imposed upon vessels of the United States, and questions relating to imposts and ex- actions demanded from our citizens, have on many occasions given rise to difficulty. The correspondence and accompanying papers on these and kindred subjects, have from time to time been transmitted to Con- gress,! and will show the condition of the questions at these several dates. As the result of the correspondence on the subjectof the trial of Amer- ican citizens in Cuba, in their absence, for infidencia, so called, growing out of acts done or words spoken in the United States or beyond Spanish jurisdiction, and as to the proceedings of embargo and confiscation which have followed such sentences, the minister of state, in a note to Mr. Cushing, dated November 15, 1875, makes the following explicit declara- tion : "The government of the King does not regard as justiciable be- fore the Spanish tribunals the citizens of the United States, or of any other state, for the crimes or faults which they commit, or which they may commit within their own national territory.'" Proceedings have for some time been in progress to obtain a release of the estates of American citizens in Cuba in possession of the authorities in Cuba pur- suant to such sentences, and considerable progress has of late been made. The question of trials of citizens of the United States by military tribunals has given rise to many and vexatious questions ; the Gov- ernment of the United States insisting that, under the treaty of 1795, and under general rules common to all civilized nations, the proceed- ings of Spanish military tribunals in Cuba could not be upheld.

Upon October 31, 1873, the steamer Virgiuius, a registered vessel of the United States, and carrying the flag of the United States, was captured upon the high seas by the Tornado, a Spanish vessel of war, and taken to the port of Santiago de Cuba. A court-martial was con- vened on the arrival of the Tornado, and, before the details of the cap- ture had even reached Havana, many of the prisoners were tried and shot ; fifty-three persons in all being executed within a few days. The Secretary of State, in a dispatch to General Sickles, of November 12, 1873, strongly commented upon these executions.^ The President, in his annual message to Congress December 1, 1873, stated as follows •? " It is a well-established principle, asserted by the United States from the beginning of their national independence, recognized by Great Brit- ain and other maritime powers, and stated by the Senate in a resolution passed unanimously on the 16th of June, 1858, that 'American vessels on the high seas in time of peace, bearing the American flag, remain under the jurisdiction of the country ta which they belong, and there- fore any visitation, molestation, or detention of such vessel by force, or by the exhibition of force, on the part of a foreign power, is in deroga- tion of the sovereignty of the United States.'" The serious questions which followed the capture of this vessel and the attendant executions were substantially adjusted by a protocol en- tered into between Mr. Pish and Admiral Polo, the minister of Spain, dated iTovember 29, 1873,^ by which Spain stipulated to forthwith restore the vessel and the survivors of her passengers and crew, and to salute the flag of the. United States ; provided if, prior to December 25, Spain should prove to the satisfaction of the United States that the Virgiuius was not entitled to carry the flag, the salute would be dispensed with j in which event legal proceedings were to be instituted against the ves- sel, and persons guilty of illegal acts in connection therewith, if any law of the United States had been violated. Spain further agreed to pro- ceed to investigate the conduct of those of her authorities who had in- fringed Spanish law and treaty obligations, and to arraign them before competent courts and inflict punishment upon those who may have offended.
