    The Archive of American Journalism Ray Stannard Baker Collection McClure’s Magazine September, 1898 How the News of the War is Reported WAR with Spain began, so far as the newspapers were concerned, when the “Maine” was blown up in Havana harbor. The explosion occurred at 9.40 o’clock on the evening of February 15, 1898. At half-past two on the following morning the first reports, filed by the correspondents in Havana, reached New York, and at daylight newsboys in every city in America were crying the extras which gave the details of the disaster. Before noon on the 16th, a tug steamed out of the harbor at Key West with three divers on board. In the few hurried hours after the news reached New York “The World” had telegraphed its representative in Key West, and divers had been roused out of bed, had collected their paraphernalia, and had embarked on the newly chartered tug for Havana. Early in the afternoon, “The World” correspondent in Havana received the following cabled instructions: “Have sent divers to you from Key West to get actual truth, whether favorable or unfavorable. First investigation by divers, with authentic results, worth $1,000 extra expense tomorrow alone.” But when the divers arrived, they were not allowed to make a descent, and all that the newspaper sponsors of the enterprise derived from the expedition was a bill of expense amounting to nearly $1,000. This was the beginning. During the next few days scores of correspondents were rushed into Havana, and half a hundred great newspapers began to fill with news and pictures of the wreck.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation w s s produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marki!^ or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document phorographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was posable to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting tiiru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin phoroing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Caimanera'sfortifications Shelled by the Americans
    The San Francisco Call VOLUME LXXXIA.-NO. 0. SAN FRANCISCO, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1898. PRICE FIVE CENTS. CAIMANERA'S FORTIFICATIONS SHELLED BY THE AMERICANS SPANIARDS DRIVEN FROM THEIR WORKS Splendid Marksmanship Again Displayed by the Gunners of Our Vessels. CAPE HAYTIEN,Hayti, June 8.—Five American warships at half-past 5 o'clock yesterday morning began to shell the forti- fications at Caimanera, on the bay of Guantanamo, which cuts into the southern coast of Santiago de Cuba east of the city of San- tiago. Many Spaniards are reported to have been killed. The Americans' fire was most effective, driving the Spanish gunners in consternation from the defense of their works and then from the town of Caimanera, in which they took refuge. The inhabi- tants of this place joined in the rout. The vessels which took part in the bombardment were the cruiser Marblehead, the auxiliary cruisers St. Louis and Yankee and the two gunboats. The latter, however, paid little attention to the Spanish forts, directing their efforts to cutting the cables which run out of Caimanera. Three cables were cut under the protection of the larger vessels of the fleet. One of the cables severed was that connecting Caimanera with the city of Santiago de Cuba. The American fleet appeared of! the entrance to the Bay of Guantanamo just as the rising sun began to redden the horizon. With the Marblehead in the lead, the littlesquadron sailed into the bay and proceeded toward the cable house under the guns of the Spanish fortifications. While the Marblehead, St. Louis and Yankee formed inbattle order before the forts and opened fire, the little gunboats darted out from the line and began to grapple for the cable.

  • The Naval War of 1812, Volume 3, Index
    The Naval War of 1812: A Documentary History Volume III 1814–1815 Chesapeake Bay, Northern Lakes, and Pacific Ocean Part 7 of 7 Naval Historical Center Department of the Navy Washington, 2002 Electronically published by American Naval Records Society Bolton Landing, New York 2011 AS A WORK OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THIS PUBLICATION IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. Index Certain aspects of the treatment of persons and vessels in this index supple­ ment annotation in the volume. PERSONS: The rank of military personnel, whenever ascertainable, is the high­ est rank attained by the individual by the end of 1815. When all references to an individual lie outside that span, the rank is the highest applicable to the per­ son at the time to which the text refers. Vessels that civilians and naval person­ nel commanded during 1814 and 1815 are noted in parentheses at the end of the person's entry. The abbreviation USFS is used to distinguish those officers who served in the flotilla service and not in the U.S. Navy. VESSELS: In most cases, vessels are identified according to their use and rig­ such as Essex, US frigate; Industry, American merchant brig; Earl of Moira, HM sloop of war-according to the best information available. Since the use and rig of a vessel could vary, nomenclature used to iden tify vessels refers to the years 1814-15. When all references to the vessel lie outside that year, the nomencla­ ture is that applicable to the vessel at the time to which the text refers. The names of commanders of warships for 1814-15, including privateers but not most gunboats, are noted in parentheses at the end of their vessels' entry.
