Spotless and speckless from keel to fighting-top, with the Stars and Stripes at the peak and the at A BIT OF OLD Jack HAVANA. the foremast head, the great white war-ship guided by a Spanish pilot, threaded the narrow entrance to the harbor, and just abreast the Admiral's Palace, on the water-front of the Cuban metropolis, ran out her chains and made fast to the mooring-buoy selected by the Spanish pilot. Then her guns thundered their salute to 9 " lO OUR WAR WITH SPAIN the Spanish flag, the naval cadet reported to the American consul, and Yankee commander and Spanish admiral exchanged visits of courtesy. At forty minutes past nine on the night of Friday, the fifteenth of February, 1898, without warning and apparently without reason, while lying peacefully in the same mooring-berth to which the Spanish pilot had conducted her, the United States battleship Maine blew up with a bursting, rend- ing, crashing roar, and two hundred and fifty-four Yankee blue-jackets went down in the blackness and smoke of the ruined battleship to swift and sudden death in the harbor of Havana. " Well, what business had she there, anyhow 1 certain faultfinding and unpatriotic Americans demanded, when the world fell to discussing this baffling and awful disaster. What business had that armed battleship of the United States in the unfriendly but not openly hostile waters of Havana? Let us first discover this before we chronicle the results of that terrible catastrophe which precipitated a peaceful, home- loving people into a foreign and aggressive war, and wrung from American lips, from ocean to ocean and from Lakes to Gulf, the stern and deter- " " mined watchword : Remember the Maine / WHY THE MAINE WAS IN HAVANA HARBOR il The reason for the presence of the Maine in Span- ish waters dates far back in the history of America. From the days of Columbus, the admiral, who first planted upon American soil the yellow banner of Spain, that emblem of discovery, occupation, THE LANDING-PLACE OF COLUMBUS. (At the north end of Watling's Island, one of the Bahama group.) colonization, and conquest had been also the^ symbol of inhumanity, selfishness, and greed. There had been notable exceptions to this record of tyranny, from the noble Las Casas, " protector of the Indians," to the gentle Fray 12 OUR WAR WITH SPAIN tribes but Junipero Serro, friend of the California ; the exceptions only helped to prove the rule. The methods of Spain in America were those of medi- aeval times, and the customs of Spain in her colonies were, in 1800, not a day advanced beyond the Middle Ages — the times of Alva and the Inquisition, of Pizarro and Cortes and De Soto. From the very beginning of Spanish occupation, therefore, the hand of Spain lay heavy upon the vast American empire that Columbus and his successors had delivered into her keeping. This " empire " embraced the greater part of Central and South America, the fertile islands known as the West Indies, and all that section of what is now the United States of America lying west of the Mississippi. This portion of North America, of especial interest to us, Spain took to herself through those unjust and unwritten laws of discovery, exploration, and conquest that were a part of the law of nations four centuries ago, as they are to- day to an only slightly modified extent. By the right of discovery and exploration Spain claimed North as well as South America. For her ships and sailors had carried into northern as well as southern waters the proud banner of WHY THE MAINE WAS IN HAVANA HARBOR 13 Castile ; it had floated on the St. Lawrence and the Hudson, in the harbor of Plymouth and above the long reaches of Chesapeake Bay, while traces of Spanish occupancy exist in Maryland and Virginia and reach far into the interior of New York state. De Soto and his men zigzagged across the Southern states from Pensacola in Florida to New Orleans, now wandering as far north as the James River and now as far south as Mobile Bay, ending finally at Vicksburg, from which they drifted dismally down the Mississippi to disaster and death. Coronado and his glittering train of armored men wandered from Mexico to Kansas, and, on a fruitless hunt for storied cities, walled in gold and gems, doomed to disappointment, left their traces in the conquered pueblo of Santa Fe in New Mexico, which divides with St. Augustine in Florida (both Spanish settlements) the honor of being the oldest city in the United States. By virtue of Spanish discoveries before the days of Sebastian Cabot, Spain disputed with England the right of possession, and that dis- pute, inherited by the United States from Eng- land, has rankled and smouldered through all the years since first England and Spain struggled for the mastery of the western world.

It’s almost creepy, like they’ve been programmed — and maybe they have. For a dog’s age, the cruise indus- try focused laserlike on the region, and it’s still the top cruise destina- tion, for good reason. On the practical side, the Caribbean islands (and The Bahamas, which aren’t technically on the Caribbean Sea but might as well be) are pretty much in Florida’s backyard, and are so close to one another that it makes for easy sailing. On the unpractical side are white-sand beaches, swaying palms, clear turquoise waters, tropical fish, lush gardens, deep rain forests, waterfalls, mountains, rivers, and even volcanoes — plus rich Caribbean culture, spicy Caribbean food, European colonial history, and a big dollop of laid-back island living to top it all off. The multicultural history of the region creates a checker- board blend, with the architecture, language, and customs of the Spanish, French, Dutch, Swedish, British, and Americans in their former (and cur- rent) colonies or possession. Pre-Columbian peoples, European explor- ers, pirates, and shipwrecked sailors all contributed to the stories behind numerous ruins, forts, churches, synagogues, historic homes, and museums.

  • Campaigning in Cuba
    Campaigning In Cuba By George Kennan CAMPAIGNING IN CUBA CHAPTER I STARTING FOR THE FIELD WAR broke out between the United States and Spain on April 21, 1898. A week or ten days later I was asked by the editors of the "Outlook" of New York to go to Cuba with Miss Clara Barton, on the Red Cross steamer State of Texas, and report the war and the work of the Red Cross for that periodical. After a hasty conference with the editorial and business staffs of the paper I was to represent, I accepted the proposition, and on May 5 left Washington for Key West, where the State of Texas was awaiting orders from the Navy Department. The army of invasion, under command of General Shafter, was then assembling at Tampa, and it was expected that a hostile movement to some point on the Cuban coast would be made before the end of the month. I reached Tampa on the evening of Friday, May 6. The Pullman cars of the Florida express, at that time, ran through the city of Tampa and across the river into the spacious grounds of the beautiful Tampa Bay Hotel, which, after closing for the regular winter season, had been compelled to reopen its doors—partly to accommodate the large number of officers and war correspondents who had assembled there with their wives and friends, and partly to serve as headquarters for the army of Cuban invasion. It was a warm, clear Southern night when we arrived, and the scene presented by the hotel and its environment, as we stepped out of the train, was one of unexpected brilliancy and beauty.
