Letter from Harry Johnston to Theodore Roosevelt
Harry Johnston discusses his current stay in Haiti and his pleasant experience traveling with American Minister Plenipotentiary H. W. Furniss as his guide. Johnston describes Furniss as “the most influential foreigner” in Haiti and compliments his knowledge of the country, his popularity among locals, and his ability to navigate the “rotten” Haitian government. Johnston urges President Roosevelt to visit Haiti because of its natural beauty but cautions him about the “utterly bad” government and “ignorant” president. Johnston also asks Roosevelt to put in a good word for him when he passes through the Panama Canal at the same time as president-elect William H. Taft, and he requests that Roosevelt send him two War Department maps of Haiti and San Domingo.

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.
