MEXICAN CLAIMS. OF
From a report upon the condition OF on
the business before the American ana NJ
Mexican Joint claims commission, made p,
by the agent Of the United States, ana i
dated Oct %, 1874 it appears that OF u
the 1 ,1O7 claims filed on the part OF the Y,
citizens of the United States, AS3 had t,
been finally decided, and Is We're in the n
hands of the umpire, leaving AGO to be II
disposed of and of the 1913 CLAIMS c
fled against the United States, 726 had :
been finally decided on, one was b. tore
the umpirc. and 27l remain to be DIS a
posed of. Since the date OF each re, !
port. other claims have been disposed J.
of reducing somewhat the number still !
upudirg. and Others have been passed
upon by the arbitrNtors. 1t has become
apparent, in view Of these figures ana
Of the fact that the work devolVlng on
the umpire is particularly labonouS,
tbe commission would be unable to DIS
pose of the entire number of CLAIMS
pending prior to the first day OF Febrn-
pp,,, 1e75 tbo date fixed for the cXpira-
tion. NEGOTIATIONS are pending looking
40 fho soouring Of the results of the
decisions which bavo been received and |
"a a further extension of the connie
sior Cor a limited time, which it is con-
fidentIy hoped will suffice to bring all
tbe business now before it to Il final
close
