Averace Witness Confirms Tension In Cuban Expedition
The New Orleans Delta prints Mr. H. G. Sumners statement agreeing with Mr. Van Vechten's account last week. It says there was no good feeling between the American and Cuban factions, noting the Pampero stopped at Key West and carried only cabin equipment. Gen. Lopes allegedly drank at Key West and resumed intoxication toward the Moro, with no discipline or open clashes, while he is praised for bravery. Capt. J. A. Kelly's statement offers a different fate from Van Vechten's, dubbing himself a Cuban Patriot no more.
