As the Spanish prepared to leave Cuba, looting as they went, United States troops poured into the island until there were 45,000, many of whom swaggered and misbehaved. There was no indication that the "Cuban Republic in Arms," the Cubans who had fought almost all the war for independence, would be recognized.
