Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Luke E. Wright

President Roosevelt informs Secretary of War Wright that Governor Charles E. Magoon never said anything about bringing about the withdrawal of Cuban Liberal leader Alfredo Zayas y Alfonso. He suggests Wright inquire of Magoon what his reasons are. Additionally, Roosevelt instructs it is not their business to interfere for or against either Cuban political party. He does not care what the press says and will respond to any formalized statement about Cuba.

Letter from Jacob Sleeper to Elihu Root

Cuban chargé d’affaires Sleeper informs Secretary of State Root that the expected armed uprising has occurred in two Cuban provinces. Sleeper lists the strength of the rebel forces and their leaders, noting that the Rural Guard has had defectors. As nearly half of the Guard’s members are disaffected with their leadership, President Tomás Estrada Palma has called for 2,000 more soldiers. To date, the insurgents have merely committed petty crimes, but while no serious fighting has occurred, they have entrenched in a church near Pinar del Rio’s capital. Dr. Juan F. O’Farrill, the acting Secretary of Government, feels Venezuela can fully cope with the situation, and while Sleeper feels the situation is more serious than O’Farrill admits, he agrees that the nation should be able to “crush the revolt with the resources at its disposal.” He encloses several pertinent newspaper clippings.
