War platform debates and Cuba invasion plans discussed
The article critiques impatient critics who demand Havana’s bombardment without full war plans. It compares modern strategy to von Moltke and Grant, arguing for careful operation in Cuba with coordinated US and Cuban forces, and notes Dewey in the Philippines pursuing a similar objective of destroying Spanish power. It also reports on livestock market comments and Oklahoma field crop experiments, plus a sobering account of Cuban famine conditions and Spanish casualties.
