Our Taking Possession of Island of San Juan
The American Claim to t-VaIue of the Position
Our Mexican Negotiations, &c
The intelligence from Washington Territory that the
e. s. troops have taken possession of the island of San
JUAN in the Strait OF Fuca, is highly important Gen
Harvey would hardly have taken such step without
authority from this government Gov. Douglas will
undoubtedly resist The with all the force at bis
command aud it appears that he had dispatched force
10 dispute the occupancy.
Last January this matter according to the report OF
the T. s. Commissioner, stood as follows: ne Islands
San Juan and Lopez, claimed BY Washington en-
rtory as a Wbatcom country and at the same time
were claimed by the officers of the British government
They had been the subject OF controversy between the
American and British commissioners Tor running the
boundary line between the United States and the Brit
ish territory under the Oregon treaty, and the matter
had been referred by that commission to their respec
tive governments.
The Island Of San Juan is about fifteen miles long by
