First Land Fight Opens War At Pinar del Rio
In Cuba a land assault by United States infantry met Spanish resistance near Pinar del Rio. Lieutenant Crofton led the first Americans ashore, a reef forced men to wade, and a brief exchange of fire left 12 Spaniards dead with no American injuries. Warships shelled the shore as passengers and troops organized a line of defense and reembarkation began. Nebraskan regiments await orders in Lincoln with equipment issued and farewell ceremonies held.
