Anti-Liberal Rioting at Havana Forces President McKinley to Order Cruisers to the Front — The Crisis Is Reached
HAVANA, Jan. 12. — Via Key West, Jan. 12 — (Special to The Herald.) The long anticipated anti-liberal outbreak took place here this morning. It took the form of an attack by army and volunteer officers and the ultra-Spanish element upon the leading liberal newspaper offices, crying “Down with autonomy!”
El Reconcentrado was first visited and wrecked.
The office of La Discuscion, which is situated next door to the Hotel Inglatera, and above which the New York Journal bureau is located, was next attacked and gutted. Amid cries of “Down with autonomy” were heard cheers for Spain and counter cries for annexation.
The demonstration and attack being headed by army officers in uniform, the police, mounted and unmounted, made no attempt to interfere and all calls by telephone to the palace and military governor for assistance to protect the properties were unanswered.
