May 21, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the U.S. national vessel called Alabama. The New York Times produces, as an authority for the pursuit of the Itata case, the judgment of the Geneva Tribunal in the Alabama case. The U.S. government could not have desired a better illustration than of the soundness of their position as to what kind of pursuit is permissible on the high seas to national vessels. To know what the "pursuit" was which the Tribunal condemned as "imperfect," one must go to the American pleadings to see on what grounds the American counsel sought redress against Great Britain.
