The Secretary of State to President Wilson
Washington,
February 5, 1917.
My Dear Mr. President: The enclosed telegram has just been received from Minister Gonzales, at Habana.91 I would like to know your wishes in the reply I am to make to this dispatch. I think we should consider very seriously requesting the Cuban Government to remove the German Consuls and breaking off relations, in view of the proximity of Cuba to this country and to our West Indian possessions.
Faithfully yours,
Robert Lansing
