The Chargé in Cuba (Reed) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 22.]
Sir: Referring to the Department’s telegram No. 104 of September 16, 2 p.m.,9 I have the honor to report that I duly informed the Cuban Secretary of State that the Government of the United States would recognize the provisional governments of Argentina, Bolivia and Peru on September 18.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Later in the afternoon, the President called me aside at a reception given by the Mexican Ambassador and told me that his Government was most anxious to act in complete harmony with the Government of the United States in this and in all other matters and that … he would nevertheless recognize all three governments at the same time as did the Government of the United States.
Accordingly, late yesterday afternoon, instructions were dispatched to the Cuban legations in Argentina, Bolivia and Peru to enter into official relations with the provisional governments of those countries.
Respectfully yours,
