Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte assures President Roosevelt that he is consulting with the Department of State regarding actions in Cuba. Bonaparte made transportation arrangements for Secretary of War Taft and Acting Secretary of State Bacon to travel to Havana by way of Key West, but they decided to go via Tampa instead. Bonaparte believes Taft should command the Navy in Cuban waters during an emergency and urges Roosevelt to send instructions to that effect. On another matter, Bonaparte encloses a letter from Philllips Lee Goldsborough inquiring whether he may serve as chairman of William H. Jackson’s congressional campaign. Bonaparte believes that allowing Goldsborough to do so would benefit Roosevelt politically. Having Jackson in Congress will offset losses elsewhere.
