Basically, pro-slavery Southerners like William Walker wanted to conquer lands like Cuba and Nicaragua so as to expand the territory that would be open to slavery. This idea was spelled out most famously in the Ostend Manifesto, which advocated taking Cuba by force if necessary. By this time (the 1850s) the issue of slavery seemed to be decided with the continental US. There seemed to be no room for slavery to grow. Therefore, many Southerners wanted to take more land outside the US so as to increase the power of the slave states relative to the free states.
With that said, even some politicians in the North also had plans for Cuba.

Why did William Howard Taft send marines to Nicaragua?
It was on November 18th in 1909 that the U.S. sent warships and marines to Nicaragua to press for stability in the region. This was done at the orders of President William Howard Taft after Adolfo Diaz, the President of Nicaragua, requested help. It was in the fall of that year amid rising instability that Diaz informed the U.S. that the safety of U.S. citizens and their property could not be guaranteed. The U.S. response was a call to arms. In the request for assistance, Diaz asked specifically for military help protecting Americans and their interests. In a quote from his request for that military help he asks that it (the U.S.) "extend its protection to all inhabitants of the Republic," and that invited the U.S. to occupy Nicaragua - which it did. Note that it was Theodore Roosevelt, who is arguably the President who authored the best U.S. demonstration of so-called gunboat diplomacy, who sent U.S. warships to seize ports in Nicaragua in 1907 when things began to get shakey.
