Marines to Cuba and Taft trip amid 1906 turmoil
In a 1906 dispatch, Secretary Taft coordinates rapid deployment of 750 Marines to land in Havana with support from Battleship Texas while the Navy seeks ships for Cuba. The operation follows reports of landings near Cape Hou Strait as President Roosevelt departs for Washington. Separately, 73 meat dealers lack the updated meat inspection law’s reach, prompting inquiries to the Agriculture Department. The tale also notes Taft offering a warship to Palma, who declines, and Roosevelt’s White House return after talks with Hughes.
