ties were still In progress, the Chief Clerk
of the State Department, Nicholas p.
Trist, was sent to Mexico TO open negotia-
tons for peace.
He was instructed to demand the cession
of New Mexico and California. These
terms were rejected by Mexico There
upon, the United States recalled Trist.
This caused much agitation in Mexico.
for 1t was feared the United States would
adopt very aggressive steps. Trist had
not acted on the recall, but had remained
in Mexico. He succeeded. as a result of the
change In the feeling, in making a treaty
Of peace, known as the treaty of Guada-
lupe Hidalgo, on February 4, 1858.
At the close of Sle civil war there were
no peace negotiations or treaty in the
usual sense. Being a rebellion, the fed
eral government recognized no power
with which 1t could make treaty. the
surrender at Appomattox was without
condition. but an arrangement was made
by which certain military concessions were
allowed by General Grant to the surrender
ing army. Beyond this there were no
formal peace treaties or agreement.
The precedent of Franklin's informal
peace overtures suggest that If Spain Is
unable to secure the mediation of the
European powers she might enlist the
service of some friend, who, in an indi-
vidual capacity, could take the initiative
as Franklin did. That of 1912 suggests
that formal peace overtures are to be made
through commissioners, duly instructed on
the terms they can grant. If the precedent
of the Mexican War were followed, then
one of the officials of SPANS foreign office
could come to Washington and make per-
sonal overtures toward peace. The pre-
cedents show that there is no fixed pro-
cedure under international law toward a
restoration of peace, and that the form
adopted is dictated mainly. by expediency
and a desire to avoid the undue humilia-
tons of the vanquished party.
