Root at Rio De Janeiro Visits and Diplomatic Dinner
Secretary of State Root spent July 28 in Rio de Janeiro meeting with the Pan American Congress delegation. He discussed the Drago doctrine, attended a reception at Castle Abrantes, and dined with Baron Rio Branco. He plans to voyage on the Charleston to Montevideo and Buenos Aires, with local press noting his visit as highly significant. The Argentine cruiser Buenos Aires was offered for his tour but Uruguay preferred he not sail on an Argentine warship. The Charleston will carry Root to Montevideo, then on to Buenos Aires and up the Rio de la Plata.
