The report of the Secretary of State presents a clear epitome of the
award and renders unnecessary any extended observations on my part
further than to say that I cordially coincide with his recommendation
and that our treaty obligations demand prompt and favorable action by
Congress, which I urgently hope may be taken, to the end that these
long-pending questions may be finally and satisfactorily terminated.
The total amount necessary to satisfy the award of the commissioners is
$473,151.26, which I recommend be appropriated.
WILLIAM McKINLEY.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, _Washington, January 18, 1898_.
_To the Congress of the United States_:
I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State, with
accompanying papers, touching the lynching in 1895 at Yreka, Cal., of
Luis Moreno, a Mexican citizen, and the demand of the Mexican Government
for an indemnity for his relatives on account thereof.
Following the course adopted in the case of the lynching of three
Italian subjects at Hahnville, La.
