Letter from Frank Ross McCoy to William H. Taft

Letter from Frank Ross McCoy to William H. Taft

Frank Ross McCoy updates Secretary of War Taft on his investigation into the Cienfuegos waterworks case. His conclusion is that the opposition to Hugh J. Reilly’s contract on one side, and support on another, is due to political factions fighting for control of the city. He spoke to many people in Cienfuegos who believe that the best way to resolve the conflict is for the central government to do the work.

Exhibit B – Letter from Figueroa

Emilio del Real sends a copy of letters relating to a matter Hugh J. Reilly has overseen in Cienfuegos, Cuba.

Report on Cienfuegos by Frank Ross McCoy

Report on Cienfuegos by Frank Ross McCoy

Captain McCoy reports on the feasibility of carrying out the modified Reilly water contract in Cienfuegos, Cuba. Past experiences of Spain and the American Military Government have shown that the best way to carry out contracts in Cuba is to make the central government a party to the contract. Large-scale contracts have only been successful when they are carried out by the central government.
