excited and worried over the promulgation of the news that Governor Lowndes
has selected Martin M. Higgins, Secretary of the Senate and a leader of the
Mullikin faction, to be his confidential aid and secretary, and has recalled
him to be with him for the rest of the campaign, and that Mr. Higgins has

secretly kept that the Barber people knew nothing about it until it was
divulged today to them by some of the Democratic campaign managers. One of
the most prominent of the Barber faction leaders says: “This freak of
Governor Lowndes will cost the State ticket 400 votes in Talbot county and
insure the election of the Democratic local ticket.”

Filipino
nationalists revolted against the Spanish rule that had controlled the Philippines
since the sixteenth century. Led by Emilio Aguinaldo, the struggle began in Manila and quickly
spread throughout the country. Aguinaldo defeated Spanish forces in several
battles and rose to become the leader of Katipunan (a fraternal brotherhood
of Filipino nationalists organized in 1895 by Andres Bonifacio). When the United States and Spain
went to war over Cuba, the
Philippines joined the
side of the U.S.
On June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo declared the independence of the Philippine
islands, and in January 1899 he became the president. While the Filipinos
believed that a U.S.
defeat of Spain would lead
to a free Philippines, the
U.S.
refused to recognize the new government. Outraged by the betrayal, the
Philippine republic declared war on the United States. Emilo Aguinaldo,
after fighting with the U.S.
against Spain, was
captured by the U.S.
military in 1901 and reluctantly declared allegiance to the United States. By the end of the
Philippine War in 1902, more 40,000 Filipinos and 4,000 American soldiers
were dead.

During
the month of December in 1897, reports of horrific famine and disease in Cuba prompted a response from the United States
government. President McKinley was deeply disturbed by the 1897 effects of Spain's
reconcentration policy and appealed for humanitarian aid for starving Cubans.
On Christmas Eve, the President made several appeals for help and on January
8, he called for donations to the Red Cross. Growing U.S. awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Cuba
challenged President McKinley's commitment to solve the Cuban conflict though
diplomacy. Pressured by the public and the press to be more aggressive,
McKinley labeled the Spanish reconcentration policy as
"extermination," and threatened to "intervene with
force." The Spanish-American War is often referred to as the first
"media war." During the 1890s, journalism that sensationalized —
and sometimes even manufactured — dramatic events was a powerful force. Led
by newspaper owners William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, journalism
of the 1890s used melodrama, romance, and hyperbole to sell millions of
newspapers--a style that became known as yellow journalism. From Cuba,
Hearst's star reporters wrote stories designed to tug at the heartstrings of
Americans. Horrific tales described the situation in Cuba--female prisoners,
executions, valiant rebels fighting, and starving women and children figured
in many of the stories that filled the newspapers.

William Randolph Hearst and his New York Journal offered a $50,000 award for
the "detection of the Perpetrator of the Maine Outrage." Many
Americans assumed the Spanish were responsible for the Maine's destruction. In April, months of
tension between the United States
and Cuba
climaxed into war. After the destruction of the U.S.S. Maine and the Naval
Court of Inquiry's implication of Spain,
pro-war feeling in the United States
reached new heights and by the Spring, the U.S. public got what it had
