But it Avas not until the ITtli of jNIay. 1807. That Comit Frijs made a counter proposition to Mr. ScAvard's note. Through tlie me- dium of Mr. Yeaman. He declined on behalf of Denmark the offer of $5, 000, 000 and offered the islands for $15, 000, 000, or St. Thomas and CESSIOX OF DAXISH ISLANDS IX THE WEST IXDIES. 13 St. John for $10, 000, 000. With the option of taking Santa Cruz for $5, 000, 000 more. Count Frijs exphiined that tlie ratification of tlie treaty of cession by the Eigsdag woul...d be necessary, and tliat tlie Danish Government would recjuire that the consent of the people of the islands should be freely and fornuilly given. In ten days ^Ir. Yeaman was in receipt of ^Ir. Seward's answer to this proposition, which was in substance this: "" The United States will paj^ for the three islands ^T. OOO. OOO in gold. "' Mr. Seward objected, however, to the condition that the con- sent of the inhabitants of the islands was necessary, and thought it sufficient that they should have the free choice of leaving the islands within two years or remaining and becoming American citizens.
