Légende

The Spanish-American War: scenes on Grand Canary Island, now being fortified and provisioned by Spain, 1898. 'The port of Las Palmas and the Isleta, where two batteries are nearing completion. Last week, owing to some interruption of telegraph news communications, but also to some cunning temporary advantage taken of that condition of the world by interested parties, was remarkable for the publication of false reports. It was believed on Wednesday, May 11, when we noticed the latest news then current, that the Spanish naval squadron, which left Port St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, at the end of the preceding week, had gone to Cadiz instead of crossing the Atlantic.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
