JUDICIAL DECISIONS INVOLVING QUESTIONS OF

INTERNATIONAL LAW1

A. C. DE BACA, ET AL., V. THE UNITED STATES AND THE NAVAJO INDIANS. 1901

36 Court of Claims Reports, 407

In this case claimants were suing under the act of congress giving the court of claims jurisdiction of claims of citizens of the United States on account of Indian depredations.

The case was submitted originally without argument and decided in favor of the claimants. The defendants then moved for a new trial on the jurisdictional question of the deceased claimant's citizenship at the time when the depredation was committed.

The facts show that the deceased claimant, Antonio Sandoval, was born a Mexican citizen, on Mexican territory. At the time of the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo he was living in that part of Mexico lying on the east side of the Rio Grande river, it being a part of the Mexican department of New Mexico but claimed by the Republic of Texas as a part of its territory. The inhabitants of the territory in question had maintained their allegiance to Mexico, and Texas had been unable to exercise any of the powers of government therein. Sandoval became a citizen of the United States by virtue of the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo which made the disputed territory a part of the United States.

The depredations for which damages are claimed were committed by Indians after the separation of Texas from Mexico and its admission into the Union but before the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo.

The citizenship of the claimant was maintained on the ground that he was a citizen of Texas at the time of the admission of that state into the Union and therefore became a citizen of the United States upon the annexation of Texas.

On the part of the defendants it was denied that Sandoval was a citizen of Texas when it was admitted into the Union and, therefore, did not

'The lay reader is referred to the various volumes of the reports of the court of claims for wealth of decision and interpretation of the law of nations.

A subsequent number will contain a digest of the decisions of the court of claims upon the French spoliation claims.
