The Spanish-American Crisis: views of Havana, the capital of Cuba, 1898. 'The Governor-General's Palace [Palacio de los Capitanes Generales]. 2. The Indian Monument [Fuente de la India]. 3. Entrance to the Harbour, Morro Castle. 4. Havana Harbour. The long imminent peril of an outbreak of war between America and Spain upon the question of aiding the Cuban rebellion has reached its gravest stage, and there is no longer any hope of peace save by the highly improbable withdrawal of Spain from the struggle. For some days past it has been in the proceedings of the United States Congress at Washington, in its two Houses separately, the Senate and the House of Representatives, upon the President's Message sent to Congress last week, that the determination of this crisis has hung in the balance...Spain, in the meantime, under the administration of Senor Sagasta, the Premier, for the Queen Regent Christina, is making great preparations for war...The harbour of Havana is strongly fortified, and there is a tolerably strong naval force, including many torpedo-boats'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
