Granville Fortescue has spoken with Secretary of War William H. Taft and Governor Charles E. Magoon about the possibility of a few Americans becoming special inspectors with the Armed Forces of Cuba. Taft supported the idea, but Magoon thought it would be bad policy. Fortescue still thinks that it would be wise, as there are rumors of an upcoming reorganization of the Cuban Military, and appeals directly to President Roosevelt. He suggests Henry A. Barber and himself as possible candidates, and argues for their qualifications and the usefulness of the position.
