Excerpt from Under Three Flags in Cuba a Personal Account of the Cuban Insurrection and Spanish-American War
"Under Two Flags in Cuba" was to have been published in the spring of 1898; but the manuscript, together with three hundred photographs illustrative of Weyler"s regime in Cuba, and some historical letters that had passed between the Captain-General and Premier Canovas, were seized in Havana with my effects when I was deported to Spain at the beginning of the war. Thus the circulation of that work was limited to General Blanco and those of his officers who understood English.
After witnessing the triumph of the American army at Santiago, I prepared the present work, "Under Three Flags in Cuba," during a prolonged attack of fever contracted in the campaign. But again fate, acting now through the pistol of an incensed Spanish officer, delayed publication.
