Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 5, 1898

Señor Polo de Bernabé to Mr. Day.

Royal Spanish Legation,
Washington, March 25, 1898.

Dear Mr. Day: In compliance with your verbal request, I telegraphed yesterday to the Spanish consul at New Orleans, ordering him to dispatch in ballast the vessel conducting to Matanzas Mr. Albert Miller’s supplies, provided, of course, that such vessel should not carry any other sort of cargo. I received last night a telegram from Mr. Peter Petinto, advising me that my instructions would be complied with. I wait for the name of the vessel to telegraph to Cuba.

Yours very truly,

Luis Polo de Bernabé.
