Policy Which Brought U. S.
Island Possessions Dates
From 1898.
By the A.1.‘■related Press.
Forty years ago tomorrow the United
States declared war on Spain and em
barked on a policy that involved her
heavily in the Far East.
From April 25, 1898, dates the policy
some writers have called "the great
aberration”—which brought us the
Philippines, Puerto Rico and Ouam
and stretched our lines of interest
far to the east.
On that day telegraph lines carried
the fateful news that Congress had
declared a state of war with Spain.
The Nation had already gone
through two stirring months, with
war alarms ringing in the land.
The battleship Maine blew up in
Havana Harbor February 15, with
the loss of 260 American officers and
sailors.
Caused Internal Explosion.
A court of inquiry consisting of
American naval officers concluded
that an external explosion thrust in
the ship's bottom plates, probably
produced an internal explosion in the
powder magazine.
Three weeks after the Maine sank
Congress unanimously appropriated
$50,000,000 "for national defense and
each and every purpose connected
therewith.”
Next the United States presented
Spain with a series of demands de
signed to bring independence to Cuba,
then in the throes of revolution.
The Queen of Spain replied by giv
ing orders to Capt. Blanco in Cuba to
suspend hostilities with the Cuban
revolutionaries so as to prepare for
and facilitate peace negotiations.
On April 5 President McKinley de
I cided to submit the Cuban question to
Congress, but postponed it until Amer
! ican citizens were evacuated from
Havana.
Europe Was Alarmed.
Europe was alarmed at the threat
j ening war clouds. The Pope offered
! his mediation.
Germany took the lead, through
[ her ally. Austria-Hungary, in making
j peace representations here and in
Madrid. Germany, diplomatic docu
ments show, was anxious to prevent
war because she had a plan in mind
for purchasing the Spanish islands
in the Pacific, including the Phil
ippines.
Austria-Hungary lined up Great
Britain, Prance, Italy and Russia to
join with her and Germany in a joint
note presented by the six Ambassa
dors to President McKinley April 6.
Nevertheless, on April 11 President
McKinley's message went to Con
gress He recommended the use of
the United States Army in enforc
ing peace in Cuba.
Congress on April 19 passed a joint
resolution declaring Cuba independ
ent, demanding Spain withdraw from
Cuba, empowering the President to
use the Army, Navy and Militia toward
this end, and disclaiming any inten
tion to annex Cuba.
The President signed the joint reso
lution April 20. On the same date
he -sent an ultimatum to Spain, ex
piring April 23 at noon. Spain not
having answered. Congress declared
that a state of war existed aince
April 21.
Entertained by Philatelists.
Willard Otis Wylie, editor of Mekeel’a
Weekly Stamp News and one of the
