Secretary of War Taft tells President Roosevelt that they may have been mistaken in removing T. H. Pardo de Tavera from a commission in the Philippines, and sends him several letters which suggest this. He suggests that it is worth discussing the matter with several people, and that they can still reverse course on the matter if necessary.
