Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John C. Spooner

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John C. Spooner

After receiving Senator Spooner’s telegram, President Roosevelt has discovered that he mixed up Gebhard Willrich and George M. Hotschick and accidentally appointed the wrong man to United States consul in St. John. Willrich has already been appointed, and that cannot be changed. Hotschick was initially appointed to Trieste, but Roosevelt then discovered that there was no vacancy available. Roosevelt is working with Secretary of State Elihu Root to find a place to appoint Hotschick.

Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry White to Theodore Roosevelt

Henry White received President Roosevelt’s letter but has waited until reaching Rome to answer it. White’s views on disarmament were sent in a confidential letter through the British Embassy’s dispatch bag. He has omitted any reference to Roosevelt’s observations about the German emperor although he has borrowed some of Roosevelt’s phraseology. White writes that Roosevelt’s action in Cuba was met with “universal admiration.” White saw the Chilean minister yesterday who said that Elihu Root’s visit there brought great comfort and was epoch making. Other topics in the letter include the German and Jesuit influence in the Vatican and the reputation of the emperor as an influencer, and White’s visit with the King of Italy and their discussion of new literacy-based immigration laws.

Telegram from Alvey A. Adee to William Loeb

Assistant Secretary of State Adee informs President Roosevelt’s secretary that Minister John Hicks has telegraphed from Chile. The Charleston carrying Secretary of State Elihu Root and his family has not yet arrived, possibly due to fog on the coast detaining the ship. Adee has conferred with Acting Secretary of the Navy Truman Handy Newberry about Root’s travel plans to Cartagena, Colombia, and thinks the Columbia will serve his purpose best. The trip has been organized accordingly, and Newberry has notified President Roosevelt. Adee has also notified Root (through Hicks) that Roosevelt hopes Root will go to San Francisco.
