The Minister in Cuba ( Gonzales) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5.19 p.m.]
Referring to the Department circular of September 20, 6 p.m., Secretary of State replies Cuban Government and people naturally feel same aversion as the United States towards the wanton acts of cruelty now being perpetrated in Russia and are disposed to take some action to show its sentiments, but as Cuba is at present without diplomatic or consular representation in Russian coupled with the fact that owing to the distance separating the two countries it would be difficult to express these sentiments in any way which would be effective, it would appreciate knowing if the Government of the United States has suggested any particular form of action.
