	Spanish-American War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spanish forces at Guantánamo were so isolated by Marines and Cuban forces that they did not know that Santiago was under siege, and their forces in the northern part of the province could not break through Cuban lines.
		The Americans defeated Spanish Admiral Cervera as his fleet left the safety of the port of Santiago in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba and gained control of the seas around Cuba.
		A war that was in part fueled by the American public's ambition to end the abuse of Cuban natives would in the end result in three territorial conquests for the U.S., tens of thousands of Spaniards and Cubans killed, and the deaths of perhaps a quarter of a million Filipinos [10].

	Cuban politicians set sights on higher office / The Miami Herald - CubaNet News - Noticias de Cuba / Cuba News
		The biggest test looms next year, when two Cuban Americans could face off as their parties' nominees for U.S. Senate -- a potential historic moment for a minority that has lived here in large numbers for 40 years but has never produced a statewide contender.
		Al Cárdenas, the state Republican Party chairman from 1998 to 2002 and the first Cuban American to head the Florida GOP, calls the coming days pivotal in proving whether voters on a mass scale are ready to empower a minority courted by party bosses.

	The Big Picture: Cuban Voters in Florida revisited
		As we have mentioned several times previously, Cuban American voters in Florida continues to be a potential problem for President Bush in the upcoming election.
		Not in the sense that incumbent won’t garner a majority of Cuban votes cast in Florida; He is presently polling somewhere between 60-65% of Floridian Cuban Americans.

		The continually increasing numbers of Cubans populating the Miami metropolitan area (and later other regions) have almost always spoken with one voice and fought for one cause: maintaining or strengthening the U.S. embargo imposed on Castro's government in 1960.

		Within this corpus, Alvarez Borland's book provides a comprehensive history and analysis of the Cuban Diaspora after 1959, emphasizing the complex relationship between literature and history as she examines the way Cuban-American writers, at different times, have re-created historical events after the Revolution through their personal experiences in exile.

		Alvarez Borland's work provides an excellent foundation for the study of Cuban literature, since it presents a comprehensive history of the development of this literature during the last three decades.

		MIAMI, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful John McCain courted the Cuban American vote in Miami's Little Havana district on Friday, backing Cuban exiles' demand that a 6-year-old boy at the centre of an international custody battle stay in the United States rather than return home to Cuba.

		The boy's fate has gripped Miami since he was rescued at sea on Nov. 26 after a boat smuggling people from communist-ruled Cuba capsized, killing his mother and 10 other people.
