from hls bare statement Of facts the meaning
OF the protocol Is obvious. Although the Senate
liad declined to create Government stock for
the twelve millions of dollars and issue transfer
able certificates for the amount in such sums as
the Mexican Government might desire vet they
could not have intended thereby to deprive that
Government Of the faculty which every creditor
posse sses OF the transferring fer his own benefit
the obligation of his debtor, whatever this NAV
be worth, according to his will and pleasure
1t cannot be doubted that the twelfth article
OF the treaty, as it now stands, contains posi-
tive obligation, lin consideration of the eAten-
sion acquired by the boundaries of the United
States" to pay to the Mexican Republic twelve
millions OF dollais in four equal annual install
ments OF three millions each. I his obligation
may be assigned by the Mexican Government
to amy person whatever; hut the assignee in
such case would stand in 10 better condition
than that Government. The amendment of the
Senate prohibiting the issue of Il Government
Transferable stock for the amount; produces this
effect, and no more.
] he protocol contains nothing from which it
can be inferred that the assignee could rishtfully
demand the payment OF the money, in case the
consideration should fail, which is stated on the
face of the obligation
With this view of the whole PROTOCOL and
considering that the explanations " hieh il con-
tanned were in accordance with the treaty did
rot deem it nece ssary to take any action upon
the subject. Had it varied from the terms of
the treaty as amended by the Senate, although
It would even then have been llullity in itse IT,
yet duty might have required that should make
this TACT known to the Mexican Government
his hot being the case, treated it in the same
manner | would have done had these eNplana-
tons been made verbally by the Commissioners
