No. 65.
Mr. Fish to General Schenck.

[Telegram.]

Washington, May 28, 1872.

This Government declines to agree to the proposed altering of the supplementary Article. The establishment of the principle embodied therein has been its object in adhering to the presentation of the indirect claims, and its recognition is the inducement for not pressing them before the Tribunal.

FISH.
