Oa- Aprilx.11 1 President MeKinley told Congress that’ in the name of humanity and civilization the war being waged against the Cubans by the Spaniards must stop. On April 19 | Congress demanded that Spain withdraw | from Cuba, and authorized the use of Am- | erican land and sea forces to accomplish this result. War officially began on April 21. Regular Army and National Guard troops were mobilized at Tampa, Mobile and other Southern points Dewey’s fleet was ordered from Hong Kong to destroy the Spanish fleet at Manila; Sampson and | Schley prepared to meet Cervera’s Spanish | fleet which was on its way to West Indian | waters from Cape Verde Islands. } The end of April thus saw the stage | set for action. On May 1 Dewey easily de- | feated the Spanish fleet.in Manila Bay; on j duly bothe main, 4saiift, on Santiago by may, beat, oh July 3 Cervera’s estroyed white trying to es- ame harbor, and:the Span- £0: \ fleet. was d | eae Peon Samti | ish land) fgrces.at surrendered to Shafter ‘ow July 17./ASide’from. minor en- gagements in Porto Rico, the fall of San- } tiago virtually ended Spain’s resistance, | hostilities being formally ended by the | protocol of August 13. | Peace was declared through the Treaty of Paris, signed on December 10, 1898, and later ratified by both nations, whereby Spain acknowledged Cuba’s independence, | ceded Porto Rico to the United States and received twenty million dollars for the | Philippines. These are the high spots in a brief -but dramatic war which had far-reaching consequences for many millions .of - peo- ple.

Mr. Roosevelt says he réceivées evi- , dence of this “from all our Protestant churches, . . . from Catholic priests and from Jewish rabbis as well.” The President thinks we have made great progress at home and that we have had a “great influence in the other na- tions of the world” where things have been going on “which are not spiritual in any sinse of the word—and that is pygting it , mildly.” She. “SabN | as one | ‘Hilion,..with the-abelishment of Slavery ‘as | u : This is best iJ 284.
