This park was dedicated October 17, 1899, by President William McKinley, and others. Presentation of the cannon took place on June 28, 1900. Guest of honor was Helen Miller Gould, called the Spanish-American War's "Florence Nightingale." Thousands of people were in attendance on each occasion.

A revolt against Spain erupted in Cuba in 1895, and as the fighting dragged out over the subsequent years, concern in America increased. As a protective measure for American interests, the United States, in January 1898, dispatched the battleship U.S.S. Maine to the harbor of Havana. On the fateful night of February 15 a tremendous explosion sent the U.S.S. Maine to the bottom of that harbor. Two hundred and sixty-six officers and men of the United States Navy met sudden death in the twisted wreckage. News of the catastrophe sent shock waves all over America. Already provoked by the prolonged colonial misrule in Cuba, public sentiment was ignored.

166. Distant Possessions The Parting Of The Ways - Andrew Carnegie Antiimperialist essay by Andrew Carnegie opposing annexation of Spain's colonies at the end of the spanish-american war. http://www.boondocksnet.com/ailtexts/carn0898.html

History Literature Essays Platforms ... Discussion Search Title Index Distant Possessions: The Parting of the Ways By Andrew Carnegie From The Gospel of Wealth (New York: The Century Co., 1901). Originally published in the North American Review (Aug. 1898). T wice only have the American people been called upon to decide a question of such vital import as that now before them. Is the Republic, the apostle of Triumphant Democracy, of the rule of the people, to abandon her political creed and endeavor to establish in other lands the rule of the foreigner over the people, Triumphant Despotism? Is the Republic to remain one homogeneous whole, one united people, or to become a scattered and disjointed aggregate of widely separated and alien races? Is she to continue the task of developing her vast continent until it holds a population as great as that of Europe, all Americans, or to abandon that destiny to annex, and to attempt to govern, other far distant parts of the world as outlying possessions, which can never be integral parts of the Republic? In considering the issue now before us, the agitator, the demagogue, has no part. Not feeling, not passion, but deliberate judgment alone, should have place. The question should be calmly weighed; it is not a matter of party, nor of class; for the fundamental interest of every citizen is a common interest, that which is best for the poorest being best for the richest. Let us, therefore, reason together, and be well assured, before we change our position, that we are making no plunge into an abyss. Happily, we have the experience of others to guide us, the most instructive being that of our own race in Great Britain.

174. American Merchant Marine In Spanish-American War The role of the Merchant Marine in bringing troops and supplies to support the invasions of the Philippines and Cuba. http://www.USMM.org/spanishamerican.html

American Merchant Marine in Spanish-American War In 1895, when the Armed Forces again had a great need for oceangoing ships, the Merchant Marine was no longer in a position to supply all of the required shipping as it had done in the past, because it had dwindled away to such an extent that American ships were carrying only 10 percent of the exports of the United States. The Army and Navy had to buy foreign vessels and had to take care of their own ship operating requirements by establishing sea transportation services. At the outbreak of the war with Spain the Quartermaster had only 10 small harbor boats and was unprepared for a large overseas movement . The Navy was well equipped with warships to fight a war with a weak country like Spain, but they lacked supply ships and coaling facilities, both at home and abroad. When war was declared, the Navy had warships in Hong Kong without a single auxiliary, so they purchased two ships: the Nanshan with 3,000 tons of coal on board, and the
