Washington, June 24.-There is an
other hitch in the Mexican treaty that
was sent to the senate three weeks ago,
providing for the re establishment of II
claims commission. The evidence upon
which the two principal awards were
made, amounting to some 81, 200, 600,
was simply Il mass of perjury. Con-
WINGED Of this, the secretary made an
agreement and drew up u treaty, to be
signed, sealed and delivered to the
Mexican minister to he sent to his gov
ornmentf or ratification.
The first that the b]entlciaries of the
fraud knew about it was when they
found they could not get their money.
When they wanted to draw upon tile
instalment payment had been stopped
by order of Sec'y Frelinghuysen. They
then begged TO he allowed to make an
argument IN the case before the treaty
was sent to the senate. Although one
copy Of the document had been trans
mitted to Mexico, it was supposed, as II

Chicago, June 2i.-A SPECIAL from
Washington says: The national board
of health is excited for the first time iii
years. The secretary sent Il dispatch
to the collector at San Francisco, ask
lug for facts relative to the English yes
sci in Quarantine with Chinese afflicted
with smallpox on board.
The story that is told of the action Of
the authorities %recounts such brutality
as to excite Indignation among human
itarians ard has stirred up the board of
health, who make inquiries at last AS
facts. 1t is said that Il month ago the
English ship arrived at the port with
600 Chinese on board, one of whom had
the smallpox. The officials not only
refused to allow them land, but to 90
aboard the lighters, and the 500 well
men were kept ON the infected ship rs
well AS the sick one, what the result
from this imprisoned pest house has
been is not known, Int it is expected
that the authorities VIII report to-Inur-
row, their success in encouraging
disease. Trouble with the national
board is their want Of authority, which
goes little beyond the power OF moral
suasIon. This does not appear to Ii
much when only Chinese are involved.
The Chinese sick and well are said 10
be still on the ship, which il reported

matter Of course, that the Mexican
senate would ratify the treaty, because
it was to stop thr Fraudulent payru"nt
Of their money under the award ln
claimants.
Now, however, the hitch comes from
the action of Mexico. That govern
mrnt demands that 1T only shall the
treaty provide for the rrupening of the
case, but that the money already paid
out to the claimants be returned. 1t
amounts to about $4,000 There
seems no doubt but that the cases were
fraudulent, but this government does
not want to bear the responsibility.
