A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Amnesty Defeated In Cuba.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 20, 1913:
Senate Votes It Down, but Repasses Bill for Jai Alai.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
HAVANA, March 19.— The Senate voted down to-day the bill providing amnesty for political prisoners.
The Jai Alai and Horse Racing bill, which was vetoed recently by President Gomez, again was passed by the House.
