Letter that slandered President McKinley. Hearst "got" the letter and printed it on the front page of his newspaper.

This was the “De Lome Letter” written by Spain’s ambassador to the U.S.
De Lome accused McKinley of being week on the Cuban crisis.

Hearst used this by letter to instigate war with Spain. And it worked.
