Excerpt from book: THE CONVENTION OF NOVEMBER 12, 1884. The Case of the United States submits the following proposition: That the boundary treaty of 1884, between the United States and Mexico, formally adopts certain rules of interpretation which amount in substance to a codification of the opinion of Attorney General Gushing, which rules of interpretation are applicable to all changes in the course of the Rio Grande which have occurred since the river became the international boundary. (Case of the United States, p. 44.) In support of this proposition the United States submits the following points with references to the documentary evidence upon which they are based. The United States contends, as it ever has, that the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of February 2, 1848, was that that river should serve as a continuing water boundary regardless of changes on its banks or in its course by accretion; and that the treaty of December 30, 1853, made subsequent to the fixing of the river by survey as a boundary in 1852, ratified and confirmed the boundary up the middle of that river as a water or fluvial boundary.

S. Case App., p. 68). This assertion that in 1853 the river was considered a fluvial boundary is further demonstrated by the fact that between the survey in 1852 and December 30, 1853, when the second treaty was signed, the river had already undergone changes by accretion.
