some of the greatest American and British lawyers. Amounts invi.'ve,1
aggregate millions of dollars. One of the most important claims de
cided in favor of the United States involved cl tims for damages of British
cable companies for the action of Admiral Dewey in cutting the !!• —
kong-.Manila Cable in 1898, and a similar action where the American
Naval forces cut cables in Cuba. The tribunal decided that America is

that payment be made to the British companies.
