QUEST OF COSTA RIGA.

cussed When Convention
Was Agreed On.

Secretary Knox has notified the gov
eminent of Costa Rica that he cannot

the subject. Secretary Knox says:
THE Department Of State has care
fully considered the reasoning so ably
presented by the note Of the minister for
foreign affairs of June 16, and has re-
examined the documents on file on the
subject. The formula in question was
discussed most thoroughly during the
negotiations recently conducted through
the mediation of the United States, was
agreed upon by all parties participating,
and was carefully framed so as not to
affect adversely the proper scope Of the
arbitration.
THE government of the United States
finding itself unable to arrive at a con-
cluson different from the conviction then
so deliberately reached Us constrained to
reiterate in the most friendly spirit the
conviction that the best interests OF
Costa Rica require that the protocol be
not reopened for amendment, and for the
same reason the government of the
United States regrets that it could not
feel JUSTIFIED in cooperating to such pur-
poses.
