Governor Charles E. Magoon details for President Roosevelt the difficulties the Provisional Government in Cuba faces in closing the matter of Catholic Church property in Santiago. In large part the difficulties in assessing the property stem from the loss of accurate records and a lack of cooperation from the Archdiocese. Magoon will write up a final report and close the matter by June.
