Glorious Fourth Celebrated in Cuba with Orderly Festivities
The 1888 Fourth of July in Cuba was marked by a large, peaceful crowd, a parade led by the Cuba cornet and band, and a formal program in a rear pavilion. Attendees heard an eloquent prayer, a patriotic song, and an oration by Hon. B. B. McCall, praising American unity and the Spanish American War, with no arrests despite a larger police presence.
