The Washington Treaty.

Washington, 20 The following ia the ad-
dltional article of the Treaty of Washington,
as amended by the Senate and which was
agreed to by the Senate, yeas AZ, nays IS.
Whereas, The government Of Her Brit
tanic Majesty has contended in recent cor
respondence with the government of the
United States as follows, namely: That such
indirect claims as those for the national
losses stated in the case presented on the
part Of the government OF the United States
to the tribunal of arbitration at Geneva to
have been sustained by the loss in the trans
fer of the American commercial marine to
the British flag the enhanced payment of in
surance, the prolongation of the war and the
addition of a large sum to the cost of the war
and the suppression of the rebellion, firstly
were not enclosed in the treaty Of Washing
ton, and further and secondly, should not be
admitted in the principle growing out of
the acts committed by particular vessels al
legged to have been enable to commit depreda-
ton upon the shipping of a belligerent by
reason of such want of due diligence in the
performance of the neutral obligations as
that which is imputed by the United States to
Great Britain, (the above was in the PROPOSE
ton as originally submitted by the Senate to
the Presidency and
Whereas, both governments adopt for the
future the principle that claims for remote or
indirect losses should not be admitted as the
result OF failure to observe neutral obliga
tons so far to declare that it will hereafter
guide the conduct of both governments in
their relations with each other. Now, there
fore, in consideration thereof, the President
of the United States, by and with the advice
OF the Senate, thereof consents that he will
make no claim on the part of the United
States in respect to indirect losses as afore
said, before the tribunal of arbitration at
Geneva.
The following is Tie part omitted by the
Senate for which the above was substituted
Whereas, The PRECEDENT of the United
States, while adhering to his contention that
the said claims were included in the treaty
adopted for the future, the principle contained
in the second of the said contention so far as
to declare that il will hereafter guide the con-
duct of the government of the United States
and the two countries are therefore agreed in
this respect.
