The Competitor Case and Cuban Filibuster Trials
A summary of the Competitor affair notes Spanish gunboats firing on the schooner Competitor, killing two and capturing others. Americans Barnett and Leavitt among the five captured faced trial. U.S. protest blocked executions. The piece discusses 1799 and 1877 treaties allowing civilians to be tried by civil courts, and mentions arms and dynamite found aboard. It also includes long, unrelated ad copy for medicinal products.
