Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 3, 1900
Messrs. Flint, Eddy & Co. to Mr. Hay.
Sir: We have to-day forwarded the documents making such claims as we desire to have presented to the British Government for settlement. We desire to state that from the beginning our main object with reference to this was that the Department should do all possible to avoid an extension of belligerent rights to the detriment of commerce, and we beg to express our thanks to the Department for the energetic, efficient, and thorough manner in which the matter has been treated. The interests of ourselves and of all other American merchants have been carefully safeguarded, and new precedents have been established which can not fail to be universally beneficial to international trade, and friction has been avoided.
With great respect, etc.,
Steamship Maria.
