Cuban War Correspondent Killed Amid Arroyo Blanco Battles
A Chicago Record correspondent, C. E. Crosby, serving under the Spanish, was killed while observing Cuban engagements near Arroyo Blanco. Crosby had joined the Spanish army in February and his letters were intercepted as Spanish authorities claim to seize his reports from the Santa Clara line. Madrid dispatches claim insurgent leader Rivera was captured after three days of fighting, signaling a potential major setback for Cuban forces in Pinar del Rio and an impact on Puerto Rico plans.
