U S Marines on Cuban Soil
U S Marines landed on Cuban soil for the first time as a result of the negro insurrection. A detachment was sent to Daiquiri 15 miles southeast of Santiago to guard the Spanish American Iron Co plant after rebels raided Playa in Santa Clara province. The rebels were routed at Playa by a rural guard after burning three buildings.
