so unstable, amid the var Of factions

hiiity to the affairs OF the country. |
Our representative has been instructed !
10 abstain from interference between
the warning factions. and vessel Of
oar navy has been sent 10 Haytian
waters TO sustain our minister and for
the protection OF the persons and prop |
erty of American citizens. Precau-
tons have been taken to enforce our
neutrality laws and prevent our terri |
tory from becoming the base of mill
tary supplies for either of the war
ring factions.
Under color OF blockade of which |
no reasonable notice had been given, |
and which does not appear to have |
been efficiently maintained, seizure
of vessels under the American flag has
been reported. and in consequence
measures TO prevent and redress any
molestation of any OF our innocent
merchantmen have been adopted.
Proclamation was duly made on the
9th day of November, 1857, OF the con-
ventional extensions OF the treaty of
June 3. 1873, with Hawaii, under
which relations of such special and
benefcient intercourse have been ere
ated.
A CABLE TO HONOLULU.
In the vast field OF Oriental COM
merce now unfolded from our Pacific |
borders, no features present stronger
recommendation for congressional
action than the establishment of COM
munication by submarine telegraph |
with Honolulu. The graphic position |
of the Hawaiian group in relation to
our Pacific states creates natural in |
terdepency OF mutually of interest |

communication logical and CONNER |
cial necessity.
FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
The wisdom of concluding treaty |
of commercial reciprocity with Next |
co has been heretofore stated in my |
messages to congress, and the lapse of |
time and growth of commerce with |
that close neighbor and sister republic |
confirm the Judgment SO expressed. |
The precise location of our boundary |
line is needful, and an adequate appro- |
priation is now recommended. 1t is !
with sincere satisfaction that am en- |
abled to advert to the spirit of good |
neighborhood and friendly co-opera-
ton and Cancellation that has marked |
the correspondence and action of the |
the task of maintaining law and order |
about the line of our common |
boundary.
The long-pending boundary dispute !
between Costa Rica and Nicaragua
was referred to my arbitration, and by
an award made on the 22d OF March !
last the question has been finally
settled to the expressed satisfaction of
both the parties interested
SOUTH AMERICA.
The empire of Brazil, in abolishing
the last veStige of slavery among
Christian nations, called forth the
earnest congratulations of this govern /
ment in an expression of the cordial |
sympathies of our people.
The claims of nearly all other coun-
tries against Chilli growing out of her
late war with Bolivia and Peru, have !
been disposed of either by arbitration !
or by a lump settlement. Similar
claims of our citizens will continue to
be urged upon the Gillian govern
ment and it is hoped will not |
be subject to further delays |
A comprehensive treaty of amity |
and commerce with Peru was pro-
claimed on November last, and it is |
expected that under its operation |
prosperity and good understanding |
will be promoted.
In the pursuance OF the policy of |
arbitration, treaty to settle the !
claims of Saulos, an American citizen, !
against Ecuador, has been concluded /
under my authority, and will be duly I
submitted for the approval of the |
senate. A like disposition of the claim !
of Carlos Buterfield against Denmark /
and of NonBoklen against Hayti will /
probably be made, and l trust the |
principle OF such settlements may be !
extended under the practice and ap-
proval of the senate.
Through unseen causes, foreign to |
the will of both governments, the rati-
fication of the convention of December
3. 1885, with Venezuela, for the rehear-
ing OF claims OF citizens of the United
States under the treaty OF 1886, failed
