December 29, 1896 – The Tampa Morning Tribune reports that the Three Friends, a filibustering ship which had just left Tampa with arms, ammunition and soldiers bound for Cuba, fired on and sank a Spanish Navy patrol boat off the coast of Cuba. The Jacksonville-based boat’s activities were illegal and jeopardized U. S. neutrality in the war of independence between Cuba and Spain. The U. S. eventually abandoned its neutral position and fought Spain in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines during the 1898 Spanish – American War.
