did this one man get the US to declare war on Spain over Cuba? I thought the beginning of the Spanish American War was more complex than this. Facts? Thanks Hmains 02:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Various

This needs cross referencing more.

I have removed "He became Cuba's first elected president, but later resigned." as that duplicated other comments.

I find "Estrada Palma was reelected in 1906, but this time against violent opposition by the Liberals, who claimed election fraud. U.S. troops were not needed put down the Liberal revolt, since the military leaders of the successful revolt, negotiated nominally with William H. Taft and Robert Bacon but in reality with U.S. General Frederick Funston who had also been at Mambi, took their "borrowed" horses and went home." unclear - what is it saying ?
