shipped from the Transit warehouses to foreign
countries. Our troops and military stores and
munitions are to pass from Tehuantepec to Sonora
the same as Mexican. The neutrality of the Tran
sit route is to be guarded by both governments,
the United States, with or without the consent of
Mexico, to possess the right to protect the transit

lgious freedom is also to be enjoyed by citi-
zens in Mexico, and no forced loans are to be i'm
posed on them.

tion Of Mexico to protect citizens and enforce
treaty stipulations. In compensation for the re-
lease of duties passing over the transits, the
United States pays 81, 100000, two of which are
be reserved for the payment Of claims.
