The '''de Lôme letter''', a note written by Señor Don [[Enrigue Dupuy de Lôme]], the [[Spain|Spanish]] Ambassador to the [[United States]], to Don José Canelejas, the Foreign Minister of Spain, reveals de Lôme’s opinion about the Spanish involvement in [[Cuba]] and President [[William McKinley]]’s diplomacy. Cuban revolutionaries intercepted the letter from the mail and released it to the [[William Randolph Hearst|Hearst]] press, which published it on February 9, 1898, in the ''New York Journal''. De Lôme’s unflattering remarks about McKinley helped fuel this country’s aggressive, warlike foreign policy. Two months later, on April 11, 1898, McKinley delivered a war message to Congress asking for “forcible intervention” by the United States to establish peace in Cuba.
