The Chargé in Liberia (Wharton) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:05 a.m.]
37. Dunaway28 informs me in confidence that at the weekly conference of the President, Secretary of the Treasury and fiscal officers (held immediately after my conference with the President reported in my telegram 36, June 1, 7 p.m.) the President told them of bill signed by President Roosevelt on May 25 and said that Caffe is not dealing frankly with him and that he is going to request from United States Government the services of a mining engineer and that while we all have been in a haze on the Neep question the situation is now clarified.
Caffe several days ago made arrangements to leave here on the 26th instant to confer with his principals in Holland.
- John A. Dunaway, Acting Financial Adviser in Liberia.↩
