WASHINGTON, _March 1, 1870_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives:_
I transmit to Congress a communication from the Secretary of State, with
the accompanying documents, relative to the claims of citizens of the
United States on the Government of Venezuela which were adjusted by the
commission provided for by the convention with that Republic of April
25, 1866.
U.S. GRANT.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, D.C., March 3, 1870_.
_To the House of Representatives:_
I transmit herewith, in response to the resolution of the House asking
for information in relation to the repairs of Spanish war vessels at the
docks of the United States, the report of the Secretary of the Navy, to
whom the resolution was referred.
U.S. GRANT.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, D.C., March 8, 1870_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives:_
Herewith I have the honor to transmit a communication from the Secretary
of the Interior, relative to the obligation of Congress to make the
necessary appropriations to carry out the Indian treaties made by what
is known as the Peace Commission of 1867.
The history of those treaties and the consequences of noncompliance with
them by the Government are so clearly set forth in this statement that
I deem it better to communicate it in full than to ask the necessary
appropriation in a shorter statement of the reasons for it.
