Presidents war plans outlined
A Washington report to the Associated Press states the administration’s future war strategy. Commodore Watson will target Admiral Camara’s fleet rather than bombard Spanish coast cities. Porto Rico will fall under military government with gradual civilian control later. Havana will be avoided while yellow fever remains a risk. Guam will be kept as a coaling and supply station. Philippines policy remains unsettled and Cuba’s insurgents will be treated kindly but firmly.
