Weyler’s Control and Cuban War Claims From Havana to Near-Destruction Fire
Former auditor I A Tichenor reports from Havana that Weyler tightens control, suppresses news, and insulates victories with few Spanish casualties while insurgents suffer heavy losses. He predicts Cuban independence within ten years as the war drags on. A devastating Decatur Street fire in Alstonia destroys a block, kills a negro, and robs Markham House of stability, with massive damage and a panicked, multilingual crowd dispersed by flames.
