Weyler dedicates himself to opposing the Spanish government in a tough campaign. The effort could invite criticism but is less perilous than risks faced by the Geld-Bostor traveler.
A brief item from Umaha Bee notes the popular invading army uniform centers on a cartridge belt a rifle and a plug of tobacco. The quirky description highlights basic gear as the defining attire.

The department also answers inquiries about the fate of crew.
A Cleveland Plain Dealer mockery of Admiral von Diederichs and his son uses a Germanic spoof to warn of a looming scaly trick. The piece suggests a confrontation looming as six foes press a heavy assault, with taunting references to victory and defeat.
