Secretary of War Taft informs President Roosevelt that he spoke to the bureau heads and Generals James Franklin Bell and Fred C. Ainsworth upon his return. He details the plans devised by the Army General Staff for three expeditions to Cuba.

Moody if they have the right to intervene in Cuba without asking permission of Congress.
