Mr.. LEWIS submitted the following communication
from the Secretary OF state TO the Chairman OF the Com
rliitcc on Finance of the Senate on the subject euI
oraced in SAID resolution which was read
DEPARTMENT or STATE
WASHINGTON August : lci6.S
Sia am directed by the President to invite your at
tenrion 10 the proprety of making appropriation pro
ydin for any expenditure which tmav be necessary ~
make in advance the purpose OF settling all our dit
hcultics with the Mexican Republic i Is MS sincere
desire originally 10 avoid the:
istinc war with Mexico by peace just and honorable
20 both parties The chief obstacle 10 be sUriiouacd
in ACCOMPLISHING this object Will probably be the ADJUST
ueut OF a boundary between the Two Republics which
eha be satisfactory and convenient 10 both and such as
neither will hereafter be inclined 10 disturb III the ad
justncnt OF this boundary ought 10 pay tar equva-
lent for ANY concessions which may be made by Mexico
Under these circuns stances the President deems II I'M
porant that portion OF this should be placed under
his control 10 be advanced If need be. 10 the Govern
nent OF that Republic Immediately upon the ratlhcaton
of the treaty tmight De announcement for the Mexican
Government wait for the payment OF the whole cum
until ihe treaty could be ratified by Senate and an
appropriation 10 carry IL into effect made by Congress.
Indeed the necessity for this delay might defeat the OBJ
lect altogether This disbursement OF money should
be made would be accounted Tor at the lreasu
~ not as secret service moeey but like other eXpend!
Two prccedcnts for such proceeding exist in our
past history during the administration OF Ny Jefferson
which would cull attention On the 2oth reo
1903, passed appropratlng TWO millions
OF dollar. FOR the purpose Of dciraying any cxtraordn-
ary expenses which oc incurred i'll the intercourse
between the United States and foreign nations TO be APP
Piled under the direction OF the President or the United
States. who shall cause account OF the expenditure
thereof be laid before Congress as may be
and on the 18th February. 1900, appropriation was
made OF the amount and in the same terms. =
In neither case the money actually drawn from the
Treasury and should hope that the result IN this re-
spcct might be similar the present occasion although
the appropriation may prove 70 be Indispensable IN nc
compshng the object would therefore respectfully
suggest TO you the instance OF the President the pas
sage OF law appropratipg millions OF dollars TO
be placed his disposal tor the purpose which have
indicated.
have the honor be, sir. with great respect your
obcdient ser"ant JANIS BUCHANAN.
