ducing on American territory an i'm

MEXICO AGREES
TO ARB|TRATE
Claim Of the California
Jesuits Will BE
Settled.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The State De-
partment has just added another to the
long list of arbitrations which it has ar
ranged within the last few years for the
settlement of American claims. This ar
bitration will provide for the settlement
Of the P1ous fund, which has been a SUBJ
ject of diplomatic exchange between the
United States and Mexico since the Mexl-
can war.
The claim arose through the failure Of
the Mexican Government to pay to the
Archbishop of California interest on lands
belonging to the Jesuits, for which the
Mexican Government acted as trustee
The claim was submitted to the Mexican
Claims Commission in 1877 and Judgment
given in favor Of the church for about
81, 900 900. The Mexican Government al
legged that the payment extinguished the
claim, but the State Department held that
the interest began again from the date Of
award and has run until at present it
amounts to another 81 ,000, 900.
Personal representation by the Arch
bishop Of California. who recently was in
California and other dignitaries of the
Catholic Church, caused the department
to press the matter, with the result stat
ed. The name of the arbitrator and other
details remain to be announced.
