RACES committed upon our cifinens At Psaama In
APRIL 1876. A treaty for the adjostu1ept Of these

Questions have arisel, between the two {, over,.

tonnage duty upon the vessels OF the United ste,.a
In its ports Of the Isthmua, and to levy psssen.
ger tax upon our citizens arriving II that esar-
pass from ocean TO ocean by the sransit route, sn
also tax upon the mails Of the United States
transported over the Panama Railroad. The gov.
ernment Of New Granada has been Informed that
the United States would consider the collection.
Of either of these taxes as an act in violation OF
the treaty between the two countries and as such,
would 0e resisted by the United States. At the.
same time, we are prepared 10 discuss these otes
tions in spirit Of amiy and jastico. and with q.
sincere desire TO adjust them in q satisfactory
