Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Address of the President to Congress December 8, 1914

File No. 837.13/31.

Minister Gonzales to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

American Legation,
Habana, December 27, 1914.

The President vetoed amnesty for General Asbert.

There are threats of revolution by Asbertistas if Congress fails next month to pass Amnesty Bill over veto. Distress of great numbers of unemployed encourages movement. I have some concern for the President’s personal safety.

Gonzales
