Mr. Davis to Mr. Hay.
[Telegram.]
Paris, November 25, 1898.
No. 28.]I desire to add to my views as stated in Mr. Moore’s telegram that I think the propositions there stated are an afterthought contrived to protract and embarrass the negotiations after Spain had received our deliberate ultimatum, which has been given out as such to our people [Page 960] and to the world. The United States having so taken its position ought not to recede. I think that Spain will accept our ultimatum if we firmly insist upon it.
Friday afternoon,
5.
C. K. Davis.
