2 COUNTER CASE OF THE UNITED STATES. 



The notices served by each Party, under the provisions of Article 

 II of the Special Agreement of January 27, 1909, together with the 

 correspondence relating thereto, are printed in the Appendix to the 

 Counter-Case.* 



For the mutual accommodation of both Governments and in ac- 

 cordance with the clause of Article VIII of the Special Agreement, 

 which provides that the time fixed thereby for the delivery of the 

 counter-cases and printed arguments and for the meeting of the 

 Tribunal may be extended by mutual consent of the Parties, it has 

 been agreed by the United States and Great Britain that the time 

 within which the counter-cases may be served, be extended to include 

 February 21st, 1910, and that the printed arguments be delivered on 

 May 16th, 1910, the argument of Great Britain being delivered at 

 the Department of State, at Washington, or at the office of the Agent 

 in New York if requested, and the argument of the United States at 

 the Foreign Office at London on that date, duplicate copies thereof 

 to be delivered as soon thereafter as possible to each of the members 

 of the Tribunal, both arguments being delivered simultaneously in 

 each case, and that June 1st, 1910, be fixed as the date upon which 

 the first meeting of the Tribunal shall be held at The Hague, for the 

 opening of the oral arguments. 6
