The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina ( Weddell )

50. Your 92, April 19, 1 p.m.35 Only yesterday the Chief of Staff36 informed me that seven of the eight instructors had already been designated, that the eighth shortly would be designated, and that the Argentine Ambassador has been kept closely advised throughout of all developments and has expressed satisfaction with the progress of the negotiations. Inasmuch as the Ambassador has informed me that he has transmitted to the Foreign Office by telegraph all important developments, it would appear, for your own information, that the present misunderstanding, which is similar to that which recently occurred regarding this same matter, arises from failure on the part of the Foreign Office promptly and currently in keeping the Minister of War fully informed of Espil’s reports.
