USS Maine, 1898
USS Maine, 1898 Antonio BARRO ORDOVÁS (RR) Please remain. You furnish the pictures and i’ll furnish the war. William Randolph Hearst a Frederic Remington (enero 1897). Antecedentes OS problemas coloniales en Cuba comenzaron en 1868 con la Guerra de los Diez Años, que finalizó en 1878 con la Paz de Zanjón. Desgra- ciadamente, entre 1879 y 1880, hubo otro levan- tamiento de los independentistas cubanos, que es lo que se conoce como la Guerra Chiquita. Estas dos contiendas —Diez Años y Chiquita— impul- saron el nacionalismo cubano, a la vez que favo- recieron la penetración económica de Estados Unidos en la isla. A partir de 1878 se empezaron a adoptar medidas para lograr la normalización de las relaciones entre la metrópoli y su colonia, como la abolición de la esclavitud, el fomento de la inmigración española (especialmente de gallegos), la asimilación de Cuba a España (provincia espa- ñola con representación parlamentaria) y la aparición de partidos políticos. No obstante, el gobierno no concedió ningún tipo de autonomía ni introdujo refor- mas políticas importantes. En febrero de 1895 se produjo una nueva sublevación independentista en la isla promovida por el Partido Revolucionario Cubano, fundado por José Martí. España envió al general Martínez Campos, pero su actuación no dio el resultado esperado, por lo que en febrero de 1896 fue relevado por el también general Valeriano Weyler. El nuevo capitán general era un líder enérgico que dividió la isla en compartimentos fortificados llamados trochas, mientras concentraba a la población rural en zonas controladas por militares españoles. Estas medidas lograron prácticamente sofocar la insurrección, aunque la «prensa amarilla» norteamericana empezó a llamar al general «Weyler, the butcher». -

Also, between 1917 and 1919, groups such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) created information forms titled “World War Record of Linear Descendants of Confederate Veterans” or “War Service Record,” which were mailed to military service individuals in North Carolina or their families to complete. The bulk of the collection features materials gathered from the service individuals and their families, including service history forms, provided basic information or documentation of the individual’s military service in the war. It includes the information sheets from the UDC and DAR, as well as those completed by service individuals and their families. A large number of the materials was gathered by the Historical Commission to create a “Roll of Honor,” to honor black and white North Carolinians who had died in the war. The collection also contains compiled sheets of military citations awarded to North Carolinians by the U.S. War Department between 1918 and 1921. The collection features one of the largest known sets of portraits of North Carolinians who served in WWI in the country. -

JEWISH STATISTICS the Statistics of Jews in the World Rest Largely Upon Estimates
190 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book " for 1909, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5669-70, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jiidische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Vni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B. Hackenburg at 230,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 In 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 DISTRIBUTION The following table by States presents two sets of estimates. In the left-hand column is given the estimated Jewish population of each State for 1905 as it appears in the " Jewish Encyclopedia," Vol. XII, pp. 371-374, in the article " United States." In the right-hand column are the estimates made up from figures fur- nished by correspondents who interested themselves in the DIRECTORY OF JEWISH OROANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES com- piled for the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 5668 (p. -
