The Negroes of Cuba started a revolt last week, which rapidly assumed such serious proportions that the United States found it necessary to send the gunboat Nashville to Guantanamo, where the Paducah and Eagle were already.

Most of the trouble is in Oriente province. The Cuban government at once rushed troops to the scene, 1200 going in one detachment alone.

Seven hundred fifty marines were sent from Philidelphia by the Prairie, and 5000 men are about to be sent from Newport News. 

Congress is debating on the exact procedure for applying the Platt amendment in intervening in Cuba. It is likely that if the United States is actually compelled to intervene, the occupation will be permanent.

President Gomez of Cuba has wired President Taft that the Cuban government is able to … and president …

A band of rebels captured El Coney del Sitio near Palma Sorianoon.

“Boyer was justice of the peace then and has been a justice for many years since. He and some of his associates organized what he believes was the only Negro Oil company ever formed, the Lincoln Oil Co.”

Las Cruces Sun-News, Sunday, March 30, 1947

Blackdom’s revival coincided with Roswellians' increased indulgence of White supremacy and their use of racialization tools in the Borderlands; D. W. Griffith’s 1915 film, Birth of a Nation. In October of 1917, “Every genius has his master creation,” according to The Roswell Daily Record, the largest daily paper, in Chaves County. By 1920, their increased reporting of menacing negroes; increased the hypervisibility of Blackdomites in Roswell.

Before 1917, there were very few if any vagrancy charges filed against Black people. Vagrancy laws were legal traps in the racialization of the American South. Once Blackdom Oil was announced, Roswellians were bombarded with, “Police Capture 11 in Big Raid.” Along with the city’s increased surveillance of Black people, the attention turned toward the “negro pool hall.” Blackdom’s success yielded increased aggression toward people under the conditions of Blackness in Southeastern New Mexico.
