This particular clipping appears to be from the San Antonio Daily Light of April 4, 1898: https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn86090439/1898-04-04/ed-1/?sp=4&r=0.459,0.819,0.494,0.233,0. There are earlier newspaper articles as well (such as this one from the Kansas City Journal: https://www.loc.gov/resource/sn86063615/1898-03-20/ed-1/?sp=8&r=-0.018,0.913,0.714,0.337,0 ), with the original story apparently from the Philadelphia TImes, according to one citation. I haven't found the Times's article online, though; has anyone turned that up?
