    the American people take note that to the core their army is loyalist and
    everywhere hates the name of rebel and insurgent."


31. Report of Col. E. D. Thomas, Eleventh Cavalry, March 25, 1907,
    File 096, CC/PGoC, RG 199.
    Major (politically significant) incidents of violence between Ameri­
    cans and Cubans were limited to a fight between Cuban police and a
    liberty party from the cruiser "Tacoma" in Santiago on July 30, 1907,
    and the killing of two Cuban boatmen by three American soldiers near
    Coloma (Pinar del Rio) in March, 1908. In the latter case, a court-
    martial acquitted the accused, which outraged Cuban editorial opinion.
    Magoon disapproved the court's findings, but the ACP discharged the
    men administratively rather than retry them. On the whole, though
    there were numerous minor incidents, American troop behavior was
    good.

    result, no doubt, of irresistible political pressure and public demand.
