Secretary of State Hay wrote Herbert G. Squiers some time ago to give no support to any scheme for annexation of Cuba. As Minister to Cuba, Squiers is to communicate that the only circumstances under which annexation would occur – and it is not deemed desirable by the United States – would be at the insistence of the Cubans themselves.

Secretary of State Hay congratulates President Roosevelt on his “historic sense,” being able to appreciate and enjoy his place in history. Hay does not believe there is any remedy for the matter with Senator Frye. A place needs to be found for William B. Dickey. At another time, Roosevelt might push back against such senatorial interference in consular appointments, but this case is not the one and Frye is not the man with which to do so.
