The raiifca'ions of the Treaty between
the Z. States and the Republic OF Ecudor.
of the 18th of June, 1889 have been ex-
changed. and that instrument has been du'
ly promulgated on the part of this govern

Congress with view TO enable that body
to make such changes in the laws applica'
bic to our intercourse with that Republic,

Provision has been made by the Govern.

making satisfaction for wrongs and injuries
sustained by IFS own citizens. Many years
having. in some cases, elapsed, n decisive
and efiectIal course Of proceeding will be
demanded of the respective governments
against whom claims have been preferred.
