Cervera Still Lost Rumor of Cienfuegos Visit Reported
A long dispatch from Cape Haytien on May 26 cites circulating rumors that Admiral Cervera’s squadron may have moved from Santiago de Cuba to Cienfuegos, with conflicting reports from Madrid and Havana about American blockading actions near Santiago and Guantanamo. The Washington diary notes President McKinley’s May 26 call for 75,000 more volunteers to form new army corps and staff, intended as a large reserve for future campaigns.
