At the close of the nineteenth hardly a vestige of that great empire remained. In 1898 its possessions had dwindled down to the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. A rebellion by the people of Cuba against the rule of Spain had been going on for several years. Governor General Weyler, who represented the Spanish Crown, through the methods he used in trying to put down the rebellion, turned the sympathies of the people of the United States toward the cause of the Cuban revolutionist. "Butcher" Weyler, as he was called, was soundly denounced in this country. While the United States government maintained a "hands off" policy as between Spain and the Cubans, it kept the battleship "Maine" in Havana harbor to be on hand in case of danger to Americans. On February 15, 1398, the "Maine" was blown up and 260 members of her crew killed. Spain was blamed for the destruction of the battleship and the people of the United States became inflamed over the outrage and demanded action be taken to put an end to the trouble in Cuba.

  • Spanish-American War Sites in Honolulu
    FRED GREGURAS Spanish-American War Sites in Honolulu THIS BRIEF HISTORY of Spanish-American War sites in the Hono- lulu area was prompted in large part by my purchase on eBay of pho- tos of two military hospitals established in Honolulu in 1898: Inde- pendence Hospital and Buena Vista Hospital. My curiosity as to what happened to these hospitals led to more research and, finally, a site exploration visit to Honolulu in June, 2004. The purpose of the site exploration was to try to locate military sites of the i8g8 period, par- ticularly the hospitals, and to compare the past with the present. The original hospital photos are now in the collection of the U. S. Army Museum of Hawai'i at Fort DeRussy in Honolulu. My hope is that this paper will also encourage others with information to provide input so that more is known about this time in Honolulu. THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR First, some background on the Spanish-American War of 1898. Wil- liam McKinley was president of the United States, and the precipi- tating event was the explosion of the battleship USS Maine in the har- bor at Havana, Cuba on February 15, 1898. War was declared on Spain on April 25, 1898, and the United States moved to do battle in several Spanish possessions. Regular and volunteer soldiers were Fred Greguras is an attorney with the Silicon Valley, California law firm ofFenwick & West LLP where he has practiced for almost 25 years.

Most commonly, he appears as follows. The infantryman stands with one foot forward, the butt of the rifle (rifled musket) between his feet, hands grasping the muzzle, left over right, accoutrements and bayonet suspended from his waist belt, and the coat’s hood falling over the shoulders as a cape. He wears facial hair and the uniform hat which was known as the kepi when worn by an officer, sometimes as a “bummer” when worn by an enlisted man. The kepi was indeed generally worn; it is an authentic and realistic feature; slouch hats were popular in the Western theater. The soldier enerally is of stone, usually granite, but sometimes bronze. P There is something special about such an object, as it provides a tangible link to the past. Thousands of local townsmen who long ago formed the state’s volunteer regiments, who engaged the Rebel army in legendary battles like Antietam, Gettysburg, and Cold Harbor, who perished in Andersonville prison, and who returned but never forgot, are encapsulated into this communal form.
