- Title
HOSTOS AT THE HOTEL AMERICA.
- Authors
BERNABE, RAFAEL
- Abstract
For Eugenio María de Hostos, a veteran opponent of Spanish rule in Puerto Rico, the Spanish-American War posed a dilemma: he admired U.S. democracy, but feared its imperial inclinations. An account by the New Tork Times, republished here for the first time, helps trace Hostos's intervention in mid-1898. The introduction discusses five issues he raised between 1898 and 1903: the attitude toward U.S. occupation; the role of the United States as a democratic model; the duties of the United States in Puerto Rico; the possibility that it would deviate from them; Hostos's views on the turn of events after 1898.
