Captain Brownson Sent Abroad to Purchase Warships
Court of inquiry on the Maine disaster reports stark words from Stenographer Hulse in Washington as the affair looms toward possible war. The Montgomer y cruiser heads to Havana to take the despatch boat Fern’s place for Cuban relief, while Madrid and London press discuss finances and tensions with the United States. Spain delays fleet plans, and Consul-General Lee faces calls to leave Havana as the ship of state endures the political weather.
