B. Storer, former Minister to Spain, endeavors to fully and frankly answer Francis Augustus MacNutt’s inquiry. He reports that President Roosevelt, then Civil Service Commissioner, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge communicated the manner and reason for Macnutt’s departure from the diplomatic service in 1892 or 1893. Storer assumed it to be “absolutely sound authority” as Roosevelt and Lodge spoke of it openly and in positives terms. He believes Minister to Spain Archibald Loudon Snowden initially reported on MacNutt’s departure.
