President Roosevelt informs Secretary of War Wright that Governor Charles E. Magoon never said anything about bringing about the withdrawal of Cuban Liberal leader Alfredo Zayas y Alfonso. He suggests Wright inquire of Magoon what his reasons are. Additionally, Roosevelt instructs it is not their business to interfere for or against either Cuban political party. He does not care what the press says and will respond to any formalized statement about Cuba.
