Abstract:

During the 1890s, some Americans assisted in Cuban rebels' insurrection against Spain by smuggling in military supplies. In 1895, Cuban insurgents tried to dispatch a filibustering expedition from Wilmington, North Carolina. The Cuban ship, 'Commodore' was impounded as several local and state politicians became involved in what turned into court proceedings. The ship was eventually released and did deliver military supplies to Cuban rebels.
