The 7rJunes Washington CORE.
sp0ndent telegraphed last night that there
are very few who criticize the treaty Of
Washington as q whole, but the following
are some points which will arise In dc.
bate. They will relate principally TO the
article which provides lOr the settlement
Of the claims Of British subjects. Con.
siderable surprise Is expressed by Sum
nCr and one or two others that the
American Commissioners did not insist
that Great Britain should submit sched-
ulc Of the claims OF her subjects, so that II
might be definitely known OF what kind
they are and what their amount, and will
not include any of those to which the
American public will object. Granville's
letter to Lord Lyons about the claims OF
British subjects has been cited to show
that there Is no occasion to fear that they
will he large; but reply to this assurance
is that we are not sure that England
will abide by these precedents, and that
II would have been much more satisiac.
tory to have had these points definitely
settled in the treaty itself. To show that
these claims may DO very considerable In
amount, It Is said that $l,0O0,b0O Is in
yOycd in the case of the PGterhOif alone,
which was captured at Rio del NOrte and
condemned. Caleb Cushing Is reported
to have said within day or two that this
Ease has already been before the Supreme
Court, and an opinion against the United
has been given. A law firm in this city
has six hundred thousand dollars claims
for tobacco captured on vessels which
