The Ambassador in Cuba (Guggenheim) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

169. Your 142, December 12, 5 p.m. The report of my attendance at Cabinet meeting is without foundation. I reported all Cabinet changes to you in despatch No. 455, December 10,16 with the exception of the appointment of Molinet as Secretary of Public Instruction ad interim in addition to his regular post of Secretary of Agriculture. The Cabinet advised President Machado against resignation at this time, which would probably involve Cuba in chaotic conditions, and advocated stern measures for restoring order.
