Imnnrtant Decision

Washington, d. O., May Sl.-An impor-
tant decision was rendered by tho French
American commissioner to-day in
the case of jose Napollen
Percy, archbishop of New Orleans,
against the United States. Tho memorial
of the claimant sets forth that 10 the year
1862. at which time he was French subject
residing in New Orleans, the military forces
of the United States, under command of
General Benjamin Butler, occupied that city,
seized end demolished property belonging to
him to the sum of $4,000, and
subjected him to arrest and Imprisonment.
For these injuries he claims that he is en-
titled TO damages in the sum of SAC. 600 with
interest The United States maintains that
the archbishop WIS not entitled TO recover al
sill as French subject, under the
present treaty, for the reason that hs is now
and has been since 1870 a naturalized
American citizen. The following is the
decision of the commissioners: Archbishop
Percy in his memorial states thst he was
naturalizld in tho United States in
1870; he does not claim TO be u
French citizen. Without this rs b NJ cessity,
or any other causes which may be analogous
10 this, we think the claim of Monsigueur
Percy must be rejected because it does not
come within the terms of the treaty which
only provides for claims for
French citizens While making
this decision, we deem it proper for the
United States to express our regret that we
can t take jurisdiction of q case which seems,
upon its face, to be so equitable. [Signed
Baron DeArnos, president, A. o. Adds, and
L. a. Geofrey, commissioners.
