Mr. Day to Señor Dupuy de Lome.
Washington , January 18, 1898 .
Mr. Minister: I had the honor to receive this morning your note of yesterday’s date, informing me of the circumstances in regard to the selection of a warehouse at Havana for the storage of the supplies sent from this country for the relief of the needy in Cuba. I trust that the arrangement now proposed will be entirely satisfactory, and that no further delay will intervene to prevent the immediate reception and distribution of these much needed contributions.
In view of your statements, I have taken the liberty of correcting the erroneous statements on the subject that have appeared in the press.
Be pleased to accept, etc.
