1885-February-28: Secretary of State Frederick T. Frelinghuysen instructed the American Minister in Paris, Levi P. Morton, to formally inquire about French intentions regarding Haitian territory. The U.S. government had become alarmed by reports that Haiti might cede territory to France in exchange for protection against British claims.
