Captain Sigsbee presents two translations of German newspaper articles received from consular agents in Germany. The first article discusses Germany’s intent to promote immigration to South America and focuses on available economic opportunities for the German people. It claims that the United States ignored the Monroe doctrine by annexing Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines. The second article states Germany should not try to establish itself in South America as it would not be able to maintain long term control.
