Transfer of Amazonas to United States Navy Heralds Maine Era
The Amazonas cruiser, built for Brazil and bought by the United States, was formally transferred from Brazilian to American control before 11 am. Lieut. Colwell and aides witnessed the sale contract, while the Brazilian pennant came down and the American flag rose. The event accompanies broader coverage of the Maine disaster inquiry, diplomatic notes to Spain, and looming congressional action shaping possible war in Cuba. President McKinley plans to present the full court report to Congress and pursue a diplomatic path, with two copies sent to Congress and Spain.
