had been written to all the foreign Ministers, but find
that this not the fact. My answer was
written after ascertainng this What the motive fol
sending naval reinforcement you may probably under
stand better than do, having direct information from
Havana. As far as informed here, land force
would be useful for destroying the praces Of Cuba
and Of breaking up their connexon with Havana 1t II
probable the view is to protect Cuba and to assist

WAsHIHGToS, DECEMBER Ia 1872. K
Sir: The present condition of the island of Cuba has
excited much attention. and has become OF deep
to this Union From the public despatch and other pa
pers which you will receive with this, you will perceive
the great and continued injuries which Is
suffering from pirates issuing from thence, the repeated
demands made upon the authorities of the island for their
suppression, and the exertions but partially eecua Of
naval force against them There is another point
Of view however in which the condition Of the island il
yet object Of concern From various sources in
maons have been received here that the British Gov
ernment have 1t in contemplation to obtain possession Of
the island 1t is asserted from sources to which
some credit is due thar they have been for than
years in negotiation with Spain for the cession
of the island and it added that Spain, though disn-
clined to such arrangement might resist it with
rness it, for limited period Of time she could obtain
the joint guarantee of the United States and France
curing the island to herself.
There is reason aso to believe that the future pot-
cal condition of the island is subject of much anxiety
and Of informal deliberations among its inhabitants
that both France and Great Britain have political agents
there observing the of events and perhaps
deavoring give them different directions. The Presi-
dent has, therefore determined dispatch you spe-
cia messenger deliver this letter. upon receipt of
which he wishes you to take such may be

gotaton has been above suggested foot between
Spain and Great britain and if SO, to communicate to
the Spanish Government in adapted to the de-
cacy Of the case the sentiments Of this Government in
relation to this subject which favorable to the
tinuance of Cuba in its connexon with Spain.

had made for the privilege of sending Consus these
