Glossary Term – Person

Enrique Dupuy de Lôme

Enrique Dupuy de Lôme was the Spanish minister to the United States just prior to the Spanish-American War. In early 1898, Cuban insurgents leaked a letter from De Lôme in which the Spanish minister harshly criticized the character of President McKinley.
