"The Great Round World And What Is Going On In It, Vol. 1, No. 24, April 22, 1897" is a weekly newspaper for boys and girls, published by William Beverley Harison during the late 19th century. The publication aims to inform young readers about significant events happening around the world, from the perspectives of that time, including explorations of war, politics, and global discoveries. In this issue, the newspaper reports on a variety of topics, including the ongoing conflict in Cuba where Cuban General Ruis Rivera has been captured by Spanish troops. The article discusses the implications of this capture for the Cuban uprising, as well as a successful filibustering expedition that landed supplies on Cuban shores. Additionally, it covers military updates from Crete, where British forces have stirred panic among Turkish troops due to their distinctive attire, and it outlines the nascent tensions between Greece and Turkey amidst fears of war. Other articles include a glimpse into the investigation of the Transvaal Raid and news surrounding industrial developments in Waterbury, Connecticut, where students recount their visit to various factories, showcasing the ingenuity and advancements in American manufacturing during that period.
