Saturday, June 22, 1901. Mixed loyalties.

Gregorio Cortez, betrayed by a friend, was captured without incident, near Laredo, Texas.  the friend, Jesus Gonzalez, received a $1,000 reward.

A monument was placed on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls to Laura Second, an American born immigrant to Canada who traveled twenty miles to warn the British of an impending American attack.

Contrary to what Americans generally imagine, many Americans retained strong British loyalties in the 1810s and quite a few were sympathetic to the British cause.

Last edition:

Friday, June 21, 1901. The first governor of the Philippines.
