McKinley Promise Knows Cuba Pact Talks With Roosevelt
Cuban minister Senor Quesada testified in Washington that four days before President McKinley was shot he secured a solemn promise not to consent to a Havana naval station, a pledge Roosevelt knew of. He said Palma would not have gone to Havana with a foreign flag, and he questioned the need for a Cienfuegos coaling station near Guantanamo. He praised reciprocity talks as purely commercial, referencing Blaine era gains and projecting trade above $100,000,000 ten years ago.
