NEW York, May !

NEW York, May g
A Washington special telegraphs that
Notwithstanding the secrecy that the
members of the Joint High Commission
have professed In regard 10 the points OF
the treaty they have negotiated, there re.
mains no doubt that II provides for the
recognition Of the claims Of Engllshmen
for damages during our civil war; that
money compensation is TO be given for the
use OF tue Canadian fishing grounds on
that shore; that the navigation OF tho st.
Lawrence Is to be free TO our vessels and
the navigation of the Canadian canals,
bound only to the payment Of tolls.
The San Juan boundary question Is not
vet fully settled, but We shall probably
get all We claim in that direction. The
close silence maintained by Earl De
Grey and the English members is not so
strictly initiated by our own side of the
Commission. They venture:tO say to the
QuestiOners that the country will be
satisfied with their work, but they will
not 20 into details. The correspondent
assures us, however, that the prominent
points Of the new treaty are as stated;
that our demands for indemnity for the
depredauons of the Alabama arc con-
ceded; that Engltshmen in this country
who suffered by our civil war, are to Oe
indemnihed and our fishermen are to have
privileges in the shore fisheries on the
payment ofcertain sums as compensation
therefor, by the United States. 1t should
be remembered, however, that the dam
ages to Englishmen are estimated at some
twenty millions more than our estimates
ofthe damages done by the Alabama.
The formalitics necessary to be ar
ranged to carry out the convention made
last winter with Spain, by Gen. Slckles,
for q commission to sit in this city for the
determination of the claims Of American
citizens against the Spanish Government,
growing out of the insurrectio in Cuba,
are being rapidly pushed forward. The
time for the meeting will be fixed at Us
early date as possible. The convention
will be unlike the Mexican conv ention iu
