The Special Agent in Cuba (Consul General Morgan) to the Secretary of State
[Telegram—Extract]
Antilla,
August 31, 1917, 10 a.m.
Arrived Antilla August 29. A large number of murders … are being perpetrated in this province and Camaguey by hired assassins, the victims being members of the Liberal Party who took part in the last revolution. This is terrifying labor here and I respectfully recommend that representations be made to the national Government to desist from this system of revenge and the promise of amnesty made the Liberals when they surrendered be kept.
Morgan
