De Lôme Letter

The first page of the De Lôme Letter.The last page of the letter.
Cuban revolutionaries intercepted the letter from the mail and released it to the Hearst press, which published it on February 9, 1898, in the New York Journal, in an article titled "Worst Insult to the United States in its History." Much of the press in New York began to demand De Lôme's resignation, and Hearst's New York Journal began a "Go Home De Lôme" campaign. These campaigns did, ultimately, lead to De Lôme's resignation.[1] De Lôme’s unflattering remarks about McKinley helped stoke the flames that would become the Spanish–American War.[2] Two months later, on April 11, 1898, McKinley delivered a war message to Congress suggesting "forcible intervention" by the United States to establish peace in Cuba.[3]
