ALBERTO FUSSAR DEAD.
BELOVED LEADER CUT DOWN.
GREAT SORROW AND SCENES OF RAGE IN GUARMA.
The horrifying assassination of the governor of the island of Guarma has caused the most intense of excitement on many of the islands in the Spanish West Indies. Reports conflict as to the details of his demise, though early assumptions are that it was part of an attempted coup.
Business leaders in the United States speak warmly of Mr. Fussar as a kind and effective leader who brought peace and prosperity to the region, supported workers' rights, and took a particular interest in the lot of women on the island. American businesses have done a great deal of trade with him in sugar and saw him as a progressive leader and humanitarian.
It was initially believed that the murder was led by a revolt of the plantation workers who process the sugar.
However, reports have begun to reach the mainland that several white men were involved in the assassination, and some are blaming a band of socialist insurrectionists who are believed to have been causing discontent across the region. These were dismissed by some locals who say tensions have grown in recent years as working conditions deteriorated, as American importers insisted on lower prices for sugar.
