...happy day soon came when Leslie's Weekly paid him $40 for a pen & ink sketch. Shortly thereafter the U. S. S. Maine went down in Havana harbor and Publisher Hearst's war with Spain was on. At a contracted salary of $200 per week from Leslie's Weekly and Scribner's Magazine, 25-year-old Howard Chandler Christy sailed for Cuba on the same transport with Col.
