Horrible savagery alleged by Spanish guerrillas
A Camp McCalla cable report accuses Spanish guerrillas of nameless atrocities on American marines and a Cuban squad routed with ten killed.

American torpedo boats engaged the Spanish gunboat with six enemy killed and no American injuries. Stephen Crane disputes mutilation claims as untrue.
