Acting Secretary of State Adee informs President Roosevelt that chargé d’affaires Jacob Sleeper received a letter from General Enrique Loynaz del Castillo that states he is willing to suspend hostilities provided that the United States does the same. Castillo asks for new elections as a basis for settling the conflict. Adee replied to Sleeper, telling him to let Castillo know that Sleeper has no authority to negotiate with anyone other than the government that is in power.
