Consul Holaday sends a telegram to Secretary of State Root through William Loeb about the situation in Cuba. Holaday has received reliable information that “at least 500 well-armed men” are in revolt. Provisional Governor Taft denies this information, though he reports smaller groups in certain districts. The marines landing has produced good effect. Holaday asks if he should continue to send reports to the State Department.
