Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charlemagne Tower

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charlemagne Tower

President Roosevelt is impressed with Ambassador Tower’s report on the relationship between the U.S. and Japan. Roosevelt does not believe Japan plans to launch an attack, but acknowledges rising tensions and cites the movement of the Great White Fleet as part of his efforts to be prepared. Roosevelt also asks Tower to thank the German officials and especially Emperor William II for their help and agrees that the U.S. should maintain the Open Door Policy with China.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

President Roosevelt thinks the Star is about as intelligently written “as if it were edited by some anti-imperialist high in the councils of Harvard College.” He approves of two of Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte’s recommendations for the personnel board, but is not familiar enough with the others to offer an opinion. Roosevelt inquires about Paymaster General H. T. B. Harris’s views about his successor, and asks for a report by the beginning of August. He is unsure about the turbine matter, and wonders if it is possible to defer the decision for a year until new turbines already provided for can be tested.

Letter from Joseph Bullock Coghlan to William H. Moody

Commander Gleaves of the USS Mayflower reports from Mandingo Bay that the Carti Indians were friendly and that Guayaquilili came aboard the ship and accepted gifts. The next day, Guayaquilili resumed a hostile attitude and Gleaves believes that he only boarded the ship to receive gifts and spy for Colombia. Commander Culver has had friendlier relations with the indigenous people around Pinos Island and Conception Bay.

Report from Albert Gleaves to Joseph Bullock Coghlan

Report from Albert Gleaves to Joseph Bullock Coghlan

Lieutenant Commander Gleaves reports to Rear Admiral Coghlan the results of his attempts to gather intelligence from the Native peoples around Caledonia harbor. They left four scouting parties at Nellie to map the terrain, and mapped coastal areas. Gleaves reports extensively on the terrain, the lack of roads and trails, and the rivers with regard to their use for military purposes. The San Blas Indians were unfriendly, as they were strangers. Gleaves was able to meet with the “Big Chief” at Carti, Guayaquilile. The chief wanted them to leave the area and its rivers immediately, and told them that the Chief of Sasardi was the Chief of all the Indians, and the Chief of Bogota was the Chief of all. Gleaves was able to gather intelligence from other Native peoples, as they supported Panama.
