Survivors Return From Moro Castle After Cuban War
New York reports that 3 of 49 who landed with General Macen near Baracon survive. Maceo and others perished in Cuba, while two survivors Frank Agramonte and Julio Bains bound for New York after release thanks to Dr Pulaski Hyatt consul at Santiago. Agramonte, son of Professor Emilio Agramonte, benefited from Hyatt efforts and Ralnz, an orphan, received aid from a $60,000 congress fund for Americans in Cuba. The youths, about 34, were imprisoned two and a half years, narrowly spared from execution after an earlier skirmish near Baracoa. The release follows Hyatt’s appeals and Gen Wesler’s departure. Also noted are ore samples from Quartzville and a Barcelona report of Montjord fortress releases amid anarchist suspicions. The U.S. War Department considers Utah Ute uprising investigations and a note on Norway’s clear water depths.
