IT is known that the United States and
Mexican Commission at Washington
have awarded to Mexican citizens about
!, 200, 900, aud to citizens Of the United
States between IS, 200, 600 and IS, OoO. 600
According to the terms of the treaty the
United States will give credit to the Mex
lean government for the amount which
will finally be awarded to its citizens, to
be paid to them by Mexico, and the sum
due by Mexico to citizens of the United
States will be paid to this government in
annual instalments Of 100000 in gold
or its equivalent, until the whole shall
have been paid. These are easy terms
for Mexico, instead of requiring the en-
tire sum to be paid at once, or within
twelve months; but this will not delay
payment to citizens Of the United States
by our own government. The decisions
are absolutely final and conclusive in
each claim.
