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

Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Day.

British Embassy,
New London, Conn., July 21, 1898.

Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I am in receipt of a telegraphic report from Her Majesty’s acting consul-general at Habana, to the effect that many United States citizens who are in danger of starvation have applied at the British consulate-general for relief.

Mr. Jerome asks what steps should be taken by him toward relieving these persons.

I should be obliged if you would inform me of your wishes in the matter.

I have, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
