Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress with the Annual Message of the President, December 2, 1872, Part II, Volume II

No. 15.
Mr. Fish to General Schenck.

[Telegram.]

Washington, April 2, 1872.

We understand the British Government is bound to file Counter-Case, and that their so doing will not prejudice any position they have taken, nor affect any position of this Government. The rights of both parties will be the same after filing as before.

Is the inquiry made at their request?

FISH.
