Havana reports Quintin Bandera writes to The Patria that he has accepted a post offered by the Intervening government after consultation with Generals Padra Frabi and Lara, who have accepted roles as well, while Bandera says he remains Cuban at heart. An official order directs governor general staff to be at the wharf for tomorrow’s reception of Secretary Root aboard the Sedgewick, with General Lee and staff joining from Quemados.
