The Politics of Intervention

the Adjutant-General was the custodian of the Army's corre­

spondence. Another good source is the Records of the Office

of the Inspector General (Record Group 159), containing

"Inspection Reports, Department of Cuba and Cuban Posts,

1903-1912." The naval records are preserved in the Naval

Records Collection of the Office of Naval Records and Library

(Record Group 45), particularly the geographic Area 8 File

(Caribbean, 1775-1910), and the General Records of the Navy

Department (Record Group 80).

In addition, selected documents from the records of the

British Foreign Office, the Public Record Office, London,

England, were used.

Private Papers.—The private correspondence, diaries, and
manuscripts of American political leaders and Army officers
are essential for interpreting the Second Intervention. From
the civil policy-making side, the papers of Theodore Roose­
velt, William Howard Taft, Elihu Root, and Charles J. Bona-
parte, held by the Manuscript Division, Library of Congress,
are basic; the Taft-Roosevelt Correspondence in the Taft
Papers is the most significant single group of letters. The
Library of Congress also holds the papers of American officers
whose careers were inextricably tied to Cuba. A major source
is the papers of General Leonard Wood, which contain many
letters from Cubans and Army officers written in 1906-9. A
collection of equal interest is the papers of General Robert L.
Bullard, containing diaries, notebooks, a manuscript autobiog­
raphy, letters, and article manuscripts. Another collection of
value is the papers of General James Harrison Wilson, a critic
of American policy; the Wilson Papers include letters from
Lieutenant Colonel E. St.J. Greble and journalist Albert G.
Robinson. The papers of Generals Hugh L. Scott, Tasker H.
Bliss, and Frank R. McCoy have varied Cuban materials,
and those of Generals Henry T. Allen, James G. Harbord,
and John J. Pershing shed light on the problems of pacifica­
tion. The Library of Congress holds the papers of Admiral
William F. Fullam, which include two Cuban subject files
of great value for the reconstruction of the naval intervention.
