The Secretary of State to the Minister in Cuba (Gonzales)

Press despatch from Havana printed in New York Sun today states that you have issued a statement to the effect that United States Government would not supervise the coming elections in Cuba.

[Page 84]

In view of the fact that you asked instructions of the Department in this matter which were issued in Department’s telegram of December 8, 1 p.m., I am reluctant to believe that this press report is accurate.
