_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:
I transmit herewith, for the consideration of Congress, a communication
from the Secretary of War, inclosing copies of papers relating to the
site of Fort Bliss, at El Paso, Tex., with special reference to certain
errors contained in the deeds conveying the land to the United States,
and recommending the passage by Congress of an act, a draft of which is
