Ny predecessor communicated to the
congress the fact that the We'll and La

adiudged by the highest courts of our
country TO have been obt6ined through
fraud and perjury on the part of the
claimants and that in accordance with
the acts OF the congress the money re-
manning in the hands of the secretary of
state on these awards has been returned
to Mexico. A considerable portion of the
money received from Mexico on these
awards had been paid by this government
to the claimants before the decision OF
the courts was rendered. My Judgment is
that the congress should return to Mexico
an amount equal to the sums thus already
paid to the claimants.
