| PROTEST AGAINST DECISION OF THE UMPiRZ'-
EVIDENCE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-At tho meeting Of the
Spanish American Commission, at the State Depart
ment, to-day, Mr.. Thomas j. Durant the counsel
for the United States before the Commission stated
that he had been instructed by the Secretary Of
State TO request the umpire, Count Lewenhoupt, tn
reconsider his recent decision in tie Bnzx case in
asmuch az il comedies to the Spanish Government
the right-n determining the question OF American
citzenship-O go behind the naturalization papers,
and require evidence to establish the fact that the
conditions required by our laws TO entitle ON alien
to receive naturalization papers as an American
citizen had been fully complied with previously to
the granting Of the certificate. He then read TO the
Commission letter which he had received from
the Secretary OF State this morning, giving him in
structons TO that effect, and stated that he should
at once make formal request of Ccans ewenhourt
to reconsider his decision. Pending the drtcrniina-
tion Of this question the work of the Conmssion
will not be interrupted, rs there are six cases now
before them in which he question o; citizenship or
naturalization does not enter.
The State Department holds that, in determining
the question Of citizenship, naturalization papers,
regular In form and duly issued by competent
tribunals shall be taken only prima fscie evil
dence but as conclusive proof Of the citizenship Of
claimant This position duly conceded by
Baron Blaze former umpire for the Commission
and il is understood that Government will insist
upon this construction. The controversy arises
the construction to be placed upon one OF tho
stipnlations defining the powers Of the Commission.
1t declares that " IN any cases heard by the arbitra-
tors the Spanish Government may traverse the allc.
cation of American citizenship and thereupon com,
petent and sufficient proof thereof will be required
Our Government will maintain that Naturalization
papers constitute competent and sufficient proof"
