Three translated letters express viewpoints of people in Cuba during the Second Occupation of Cuba by American military forces. One quotes a prominent Spanish individual expressing a desire for America to save the country. Another Cuban individual expresses disappointment in how his countrymen are acting compared to President Roosevelt and is appreciative of the graciousness America is showing Cuba. The final quote is from the owner of the Development Company of Cuba who is afraid that violence will continue to break out and affect the financial interests there.
