Hello Marty,
Have collected considerable Cuban source material regarding supply trips to Cuba from the USA.
No Mascot listed as being authorized by Cuban Revolutionary groups in any USA city.
All 147 expeditions between 1895-1898 funded by these groups are indicated. No Mascot.

Re: Naval records research in Spain
Indeed. Thank you.
I have reviewed every conceivable source of information on this, from the records of the Cuban Revolutionary Party to several PhD theses written in the 1960s on the topic. There is zero documentary evidence that Mascot was on a filibustering mission.
I've written a detailed 15-page paper on this, with full documentation. Happy to send it to you. Might consider publishing it someday but since there is no "smoking gun" I don't think there would be interest.
