HC Deb 13 April 1896 vol 39 c741
MR. O'KELLY

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether any Report on the hostilities in Cuba has been received by Her Majesty's Government from the Consul General or other agent; and, if not, whether the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will call for a Report on the condition of Cuba, with special reference to the state of war alleged to exist?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. GEORGE CUKZON,) Lancashire, Southport

Reports have from time to time been received from Her Majesty's Consular Officers in Cuba, in which reference is made to the insurrection in the island, and to the steps taken for its repression. There is, accordingly, no need to call for a special Report.
