Drowned in the Sea Fifty-One Men Lost After Filibuster Standoff
A Havana dispatch reports 51 men of the Three Friends filibustering expedition drowned after being landed on a barren island to escape Spanish gunboats. Some 360 rifles and cargo were lost. A New York dispatch accuses President Cleveland’s administration of secretly aiding Spain to crush Cuba and undermine its independence, while Olney’s claims are disputed and allegations of secret diplomacy are aired. The piece notes U. S. naval measures to deter filibusters, with vessels like the Newark Dolphin and Vesuvius prepared for coast patrols and possible action along the Florida coast.
