The state of Afghanistan is peaceful and quiet throughout the year, with few exceptions. The amir suffers much inconvenience and loss through the frontier disturbances, and to steer a middle course between the fanatical forces about him and his foreign obligations is difficult. He is accused of harbouring Afridi refugees, but since they are fugitive Muslims, the amir by his religion is bound not to repel them when seeking refuge without prearrangement. The amir is not implicated in supplying arms and ammunition to the tribesmen. ...

Founded in 1898 as "Candido Augusto Vecchi", the team changed his denomination to Ascoli Vigor in 1905, U.S. Ascolana in 1921, and A.S. Ascoli in 1945. In 1955, the team was acquired and saved from bankruptcy by an editor, Cino Del Duca, who merged it with his own team to make the "Del Duca Ascoli". In 1959 the team finally returned in Serie C (its last time was occurred before the World War II). In 1971, under the chairmanship of Costantino Rozzi, who had acquired the team three years before, the team changed his denomination to the current ...

The threat posed by U. S. Naval forces and a battalion of Marines at Guantanamo Bay, plus the stranglehold on land communications by 1,000 Cuban insurgents, effectively pinned down an army of 7,000 men which might have changed the outcome of the fighting at Santiago. Less than a week after the surrender of Santiago, the base at Guantanamo Bay was used to launch the invasion of Puerto Rico, 500 miles to the east. Thirty-five hundred troops under General Miles sailed from the Bay on July 21. This was the last important event in the Spanish-American War phase of Guantanamo Bay, for on August 12 the war ...

During the Senate debate to ratify the treaty, Senator George Frisbie Hoar and Senator George Graham Vest were outspoken opponents of the treaty.

The first successful U. S. foray against Guantanamo Bay occurred on June 6, with the arrival of the cruiser Marblehead, captained by Commander Bowman H. McCalla, and the auxiliary St. Louis. Commander McCalla had been detached by Admiral Sampson from the blockading fleet at Santiago and ordered to reconnoiter the Bay for a naval base. The captain of the St. Louis was to cut the cables which had their terminus in a small station on Fisherman's Point, and connected Cuba with Haiti and the outside world. On a previous occasion the St. Louis, on a similar missio ...

The modern city of New York — the five boroughs — was created in 1898, with the consolidation of the cities of New York (then Manhattan and the Bronx) and Brooklyn with the largely then-rural areas of Queens and Staten Island. The municipal consolidation would also precipitate greater physical connections between the boroughs. The building of the New York City Subway, as the separate Interborough Rapid Transit Company and Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation systems, and the later Independent Subway System, and the opening of th ...

In 1898 Guantanamo Bay had a measure of commercial importance because of the sugar port of Caimanera on the western shore of the inner bay, some five miles (8 km) from the sea. Cuba was in turmoil in 1898. The Cubans had been in rebellion against the Spanish rulers since 1895. Two insurgent leaders, José Marti and General Máximo Gómez, had landed at the little beach of Cajobabo, which was between Guantanamo Bay and Cape Maisi, soon after the inception of the rebellion. Their return from exile fanned the flames of insurrection in Or ...

It was quickly learned that two pickets who had been on outpost duty 300 yards in advance of the main position had been killed. Marine Privates William Dumphy and James McColgan were the first U. S. casualties of the war. A fruitless pursuit of the enemy, in which shots were exchanged but no one was hit, was abandoned by the Marines at dark. That night, bullets riddled the Marine camp as the enemy attacked in force. Acting Assistan ...

In this desperate situation, Colonel Thomas advocated an attack in force on the Spanish headquarters at Cuzco. Defeat of the enemy there, and destruction of the fresh water well, would inevitably force a retreat and relieve the pressure on the Marine Camp. Colonel Huntington agreed, and Commander McCalla approved the plan. Eight o'clock the next morning was set as the time for launching the attack. Two companies of Marines (about 160 men) under Captain G. F. Elliot, with 50 Cubans under Colonel Thomas, would approach Cuzco along the c ...

By 3 o'clock the enemy fire had ceased. Most had escaped, but a Lieutenant and 17 enlisted men were captured, along with 30 Mauser rifles and ammunition. The enemy had lost 58 men killed and 150 wounded. It was learned that 800 enemy troops had been engaged, of whom about 500 were regulars and 300 were guerrillas. Two Marines were wounded, two Cubans killed, and two wounded in the battle. The most serious casualties suffered by the Marines were due to heat prostration, which disabled one officer and 22 men.

Admiral Sampson decided to shell the fort of Cayo del Toro, and on June 16 he sent the USS Texas and USS Yankee to join with the USS Marblehead in this plan. Fire from the three ships temporarily dismounted two of the enemy's big guns, destroyed the buildings on the Cay, and drove the troops from all guns and trenches. One enemy shell landed near the bow of the Marblehead, sinking within ten yards of the ship, but no hits were scored. Disaster jostled the U.S. ships as they steamed up the Bay past Caracoles Point. ...
