After deliberation, the tribunal gave its decision 

 as follows : 



The tribunal does not see fit to order the withdrawal of 

 the tables presented on the part of the United States 

 as requested by Lord Tenterden ; but it declares that it 

 considers these documents only as simple elucidations, 

 such as were required by one of the arbitrators, Viscount 

 d'ltajuba, to which the tribunal will give such attention 

 as is right. 



The tribunal determined to devote the next con- 

 ference to the consideration of the questions con- 

 cerning the claims for " expenditure incurred in 

 pursuit of the cruisers, prospective proflts 2 freights, 

 and interest," and decided to deliberate with closed 

 doors. 



Sir Alexander Cockburn, as one of the arbitrators, 

 declared that he objected to this latter decision. 



The conference was then adjourned until Thurs- 

 day, the 29th instant, at half-past 12 o'clock.

PROTOCOL XXVII. 



Record of the Proceedings of the Tribunal of Arbitration 

 at the Twenty-seventh Conference, held at Geneva, in 

 Switzerland, on the 29A of August, 1872. 



The conference was held with closed doors, pur- 

 suant to adjournment. All the arbitrators were pres- 

 .ent. 



The protocol^ of the last conference was read ; the 

 approval and signing of the same was deferred until 

 the next meeting. 



The tribunal proceeded to consider*the questions 

 concerning the claims for " expenditure incurred in 

 pursuit of the cruisers, prospective profits, and 

 freights." 



As to the claims for expenditure incurred in pur- 

 suit of the cruisers, a majority of the tribunal de- 

 cided to reject them as comprised in the costs of the 

 war : Mr. Stiimpfli and Mr. Adams declared them to 

 be admissible, as belonging to the direct losses, re- 

 serving to appreciate their amount according to the 

 bases laid down in the table at page 120 of the sev- 

 enth volume of the appendix to the case of the 

 United States. 



As to the claims for prospective profits, the tribu- 

 nal unanimously decided to reject them, reserving, 

 however, the questions as to the wages for the whal- 



ers and the interest for the value of the vessels and 

 their outfit. 



As to the claims for freights, the tribunal unani- 

 mously decided not to admit of the gross freight, but 

 only the net freight. 



The tribunal also decided to consider at the next 

 conference the questions concerning the valuation 

 of the destroyed vessels and the claims for interest. 



Lastly, the tribunal decided to adjourn this confer- 

 ence until Friday, the 30th instant, at 12 o'clock, and 

 to deliberate again with closed doors.

PROTOCOL XXVIII. 



Record of the Proceedings of the Tribunal of Arbitration 

 at the Twenty-eighth Conference, held at Geneva, in 

 Switzerland, on the 30th of August, 1872. 



The conference was held with closed doors, pur- 

 suant to adjournment. All the arbitrators were 

 present. 



The protocol of the twenty-sixth conference hav- 

 ing been corrected was approved, and the protocol 

 of the last conference was read and approved, and 

 was signed by the president and secretary of the 

 tribunal. 



On the proposal of Sir Alexander Cockburn, as 

 one of the arbitrators, the tribunal permitted that 

 the counsel of her Britannic Majesty should present, 

 on the question of interest, a note which should be 

 directly communicated by the agent of her Britannic 

 Majesty to the agent of the United States, in order that 

 the latter may prepare a reply to it, if he thinks fit. 



The tribunal desired that these two communica- 

 tions on the part of the respective agents should be 

 presented at the conference which will be held with 

 closed doors on Monday, the 2d of September, at 

 half-past 12 o'clock. 



The tribunal proceeded to the consideration of the 

 matters submitted to them, and unanimously de- 

 clared that the " double claims" should be dismissed. 



The tribunal having discussed in general the 

 award of a gross sum, requested Mr. Stiimpfli, one 

 of the arbitrators, to present for the next conference 

 copies of a synoptical table which he has prepared 

 on the subject. 



The conference was then adjourned until Monday, 

 the 2d of September, at half-past 12 o'clock.
