Mr. Day to Mr. Hay.
Your reply to our telegram as to Habana commissioners received. As we read telegram of Wade to Adjutant-General it seems clear that our Cuban commissioners undertook to discuss question of relinquishment of title and sovereignty and advanced a proposition in relation thereto. We understood the protocol and their instructions to restrict them to the military operation of evacuation, which was to leave evacuated [Page 924] places in military occupation of United States. We understand that questions as to relinquishment of title and sovereignty are committed to us.
