What the Consuls Say About Cuban Conditions
Reports from American consuls in Cuba indicate steadily worsening conditions under Weyler. The messages describe mass displacement, forced labor on cane plantations, and Americans repatriated to the United States as the Spanish regime tightens control. Public sentiment favors decisive action, with calls for intervention if belligerency is not declared. The debate centers on relief for Cuban civilians and protecting American interests while weighing constitutional options.
