Maine Ship Disaster Report Links to Spanish Actions
The Senate foreign relations committee report ties the sinking of the Maine in Havana Harbor to a Spanish act or gross negligence. It cites the court of inquiry, the April 11 1898 message, and a long history of fraught U S Spain relations, noting Cuba as the island of conflict and Havana’s pervasive police system. The document stresses Spain owed protection to the Maine and rejects the idea of a disconnected incident.
