I greatly appreciate you writing about the events that's going on in Cuba and keeping the Americans informed on whats going on. Although I feel as thought the accuracy of these stories may be a bit of over dramatic. Specifically with the cartoon that you presented. As I heard about the re concentration camp in Cuba how people where forced to live in them I think that we should be trying to help as much as we can. Sincerely,
A concerned citizen

The various battles of Cuba
Cuba including African Americans and Indians.Also volunteers are coming in from regiments. As the way is beginning Roosevelt quit as being post secretary and is now fighting in the war. Together he joined the U.s Calvary which are also known as the Rough Riders. Roosevelt then charged up Kettle Hill, while other forces fight in another battle for San Juan Hill. By the night time the U.S Army had taken the ridge. The rest of the war went by really quickly, The American navy destroyed the Spanish squadron as it tried to leave Santiago harbor, The U.S captured Puerto Rico,Spain agreed to a peace settlement 4 months later the war is over.
