6 CASE OF THE UNITED STATES. 



VI of the Special Agreement, the accompanying documents, corre- 

 spondence and evidence being contained in an Appendix to the 

 Case together with a set of two maps. 



A list of charts published at the British Admiralty appears in the 

 Appendix at page 1308, copies of which will be furnished to the 

 Tribunal upon the oral argument, if required for geographical in- 

 formation of a character more detailed than can be obtained from the 

 maps above referred to. 



The text of the Special Agreement and of so much of the Con- 

 vention for the pacific settlement of international disputes of Octo- 

 ber 18, 1907, as is adopted thereby, are printed in full in the Appendix 

 to this Case.** 



The subject of this controversy, as presented in the printed Case, 

 is divided into Part I. covering the status prior to the treaty of 1818, 

 including the negotiations resulting in that treaty, and an exam- 

 ination of the provisions of Article I. thereof; and Part II. covering 

 the subsequent actions of the United States and Great Britain hav- 

 ing a bearing upon the interpretation of its provisions in accordance 

 with their true intent and meaning. Each of these parts is sub- 

 divided under sub-headings, for convenience of reference, which are 

 set forth in the table of contents and do not require repetition here. 



The position of the United States on each of the seven questions 

 submitted for decision is stated at the end of the Case under the 

 heading Statement in Conclusion, and it will remain for the printed 

 and oral arguments on the part of the United States to marshal and 

 present, in response to each of these questions, the reasons and 

 grounds of law and fact on which the position of the United States 

 with respect thereto should be sustained.
