General Barry informs President Roosevelt that Herman Speck von Sternburg and Lillian May Speck von Sternburg have departed Havana, Cuba, for Santiago, Cuba. They are planning to leave for Washington, D.C., on March 10th, and will travel via Tampa, Florida. It is currently Carnival season in Havana, so the city is full of visitors, including Richard Harding Davis and his wife Cecil Clark Davis. Barry says that they have kept the peace in the temporary absence of Provisional Governor Charles E. Magoon, but will be glad to having him back.
