Army Strategy Board Sparks Military Rifts
A Washington dispatch reports that naval leaders control the strategy board causing Army distrust with claims the sea war yields little Cuba progress. Proposals urge a land invasion to decisively defeat Spanish forces within Cuba, backed by Miles and other generals. The plan includes using Sampson and Schley fleets to escort transports from Key West to a Cuban landing, with Ha vana blockade maintained. A Gibraltar encounter with a Spanish torpedo boat is also noted aboard the Spartan Prince.
