MEXICAN CLAIMS AGAINST THE UNITED
STATES
New YORK. April ga Washington dis
patch gives the opinion of Sir Edward
Thornton, filed on Wednesday last, in tn
case of Rafael Aguierre VS.. the UNITED
States, arguing that the motion heretotor
made by the agent of the United States t.
dismiss and reject this claim, be allowed
and the claim was accordingly rejected
This was the test case of the class known z
"Indian depreciation claims" against tn
United States, the aggregate OF who
amounted to some thirty million dollars
Mexico asserted the liability of the Unite'
States mainly by reason of certain p DIVISION
of the old treaty of peace OF 1S4S. Tn
United States, through their agent, main
tanned that, if any liability attached t
them under that treaty on this account
such liability was released by the Gadsde
treaty Of 1853"
The commissioners having disagreed npo
the questions raised by the motion of tn
agent of the United States, referred the mat
ter to an umpire for his decision, with tn
result above Indicated. 1t was upon thi
question that the commissioner on the par
of Mexico, Nj. Guzzman, caused a dead-loc
in the business of the commission, and wa
recalled being succeeded by Manuel Como
cola. The interruption of business at on
time threatened to render all the work {
the commission useless, that the remova
of this obstacle will now facilitate labors {
the COMM ssioners on the part of the Unite
States and Mexico.
