| upon American soil; and
Whereas, The House of Representatives.
while approaching the disposition shown
by the Government Of Mexico to carry
| out the international obligations. can
never assent to the doctrine that citizens
of the United States may be prosecuted in a
foreign country for acts done wholly upon
American soil; therefore. be it.

resentatives approves of the action OF the
President of the United States in demand
ing the release of said A. K. Cutting.

coded the remaining amendments made

suspend calls.

questing the President, in an emphatic
manner, to demand his release by the Mex
lean Government.
