| Description: | Charge to Vail to make clear to Spain's Government that the U.S. fully supports the Spanish presence in Cuba, but will not permit England to occupy the Island; that Spain should deprive England of any pretext for interfering in Cuba by "scrupulous performance" of any obligations it may have contracted with her, including that of the African slave trade which is carried on in flagrant violation of treaty Spain signed with England. |
