File No. 837.00/1112

[Untitled]

American Legation,
Habana, February 19, 1917, midnight.

Your February 18, 7 p.m. Publication of statement has produced marked impression. Cuban Secretary of State and the President have made feeling response. From my viewpoint and understanding of conditions here the message leaves nothing to be desired in form, spirit or principle.
