Palma's first message to Cuban Congress outlined
Washington April 16 President-elect Tomas Estrada Palma passed through en route to Cuba. His first acts will form a cabinet and send a message to Congress. He named Gonzales de Quesada as Cuban minister to the United States. The message will urge unity, resource development with reciprocal tariff relations with the U S, and friendly ties with Washington. He upheld the dollar as Cuba's standard and sought tariff relief on sugar and tobacco, pledging no reciprocal trade with any other government. He anticipated no major disruption from the regime change and noted Cubans still run most offices. Additional items covered postmaster arrangements and names of Cuban officials joining him. In Havana, Governor General Wood barred dismissals of judges without cause or hearing, risking friction with the American military government.
