Before accepting this proposition I have thought it right to take the advice of the Senate.
Nor is it known or believed that there are any claims against the Government of Venezuela having any connection with that island other than those provided for in this convention.
I deem it proper to invite the attention of the Senate to the fact that with this day expires the limitation of time for the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty with Costa Rica of 2d July, 1860.
