MAINE CLAIMANTS LOSE.
THE SPANISH TREATY CLAIMS COMMITS
SION DECIDES AGAINST THEM

Washington March 6.-The Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission to-day handed down a de-
cision against the claimants for deaths and in
juries received by officers and seamen In the de-
struction of the battleship Maine in Havana
Harbor.
The commission holds that Individual claims
Of citizens of one nation may arise against the
government Of another nation for redress OF In
juries to persons or property which such citizens
may have sustained from such government or
any of it's agents. but such individual claims do
not arise in favor Of the officers and seamen of
a ship of war. who receive. in the line of duty,
injuries to their persons for which a foreign
government is responsible. The claim against
the foreign government is wholly national, and
all injuries to such officers and seamen are
merged in the national injury; and they can
look only 10 their own government for such re-
muneration it may choose TO give to them. A
seaman injured by the explosion which de-
stroyed the battleship Maine in the harbor of
Havana. Cuba. February 15 1898, had no
individual claim against Spain. even II that
government was responsible to the United States
for the explosion, and therefore such a seaman
is not entitled to an award in his favor from
the Spanish Treaty Claims Commission, organ
lied by the act of Congress of March >. 1901. to
adjudicate all individual claims of citizens of
the United States against Spain which the
United States released to Spain and agreed 70
pay by the treaty Of peace of December 10,
1898"
Commissioner Chambers filed a dissenting
opinion, laying down the following proposition
A sailor neither forfeits valves any OF
his individual rights citizen, except such
as conflict with the loyal, effective discharge
of his duties a sailor; he assumes no risks
that result from forces wrOngfully put in opera
ton by the culpable negligence or acts of a for
eign government, and he has the same right
any other citizen has TO claim indemnity for
wrongs done by foreign government in times OF
peace
He said that if the steamship City of Wash
ington lying near the Maine at Havana. had
been blown up and its sailors killed. this com
mission would present to the people of the
United States and of the civilized world the
anomalous aspect of Investigating for the pur-
pose Of adiudicating, according to the merits OF
the several cases and the principles Of equity
and OF international law. the claims of all these
private citizens who injured or killed upon
the merchant ship. while the claims of the really
unfortunate sailor citizens whose injuries were
received or whose lives sacrificed while
in the lire Of duty at the same instant of time
on the battleship Maine are denied hearing
human international municipal, recognizes
or could justify such incongruous pro-
CeduIe.
The claims so far filed with the commission
which will be affected by this decision amount
TO about So 500. 600, which probably would be in
creased to $5OOO.OOO had the decision been
favorable to the claimants
