Russia backs Germany in Spain war dispute unfolds
In a Washington dispatch from March 10, a Russian note relayed via Charlemagne Tower asserts Russia supports Germany’s charge that Lord Pauncefote sought to influence neutral powers against U S policy before the Spanish American War. The telegram claimed Pauncefote urged governments to publicize the communication to absolve the civilized world of moral responsibility. Russia abstained from approval, citing neutrality during the conflict. Also reported is a Corry Pa. raid where four masked men robbed James Crowe’s home, wounding him and battling his wife before fleeing, leaving revolvers and gear behind.
