Charles E. Magoon, Provisional Governor of Cuba, refers President Roosevelt to his prior letter, wherein he outlined the steps that have been taken to discover the location, extent, and value of a church property in Santiago de Cuba. Cardinal James Gibbons may not understand the difficulties involved in the investigation. The price of the property is not $35,000, but $535,000. Magoon is moving forward with the report as quickly as possible.
