Grover Cleveland said...

I hereby return without my approval House bill No. 8293.

I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of State, in answer to the resolution of the Senate of May 9, 1896.

I do not think there should be anything done with this valuable property which will in the least embarrass the Governmen...

I am advised by the Pension Bureau that the bill, if it becomes a law in its present form, would be inoperative.
