Abstract

After the Peace Protocol of August 12, 1898, the Spanish government will establish by law, which will be a total of six peninsular ports, those in charge of receiving the different expeditions that will set sail from the Caribbean Antilla. The port of Malaga will be one of them. In this work, the expeditions landed there during the months of November and December 1898 and the treatment that the local Red Cross gave to the thousands of men who arrived from overseas are studied, based on the local press. Scenes of great harshness, in line with those experienced in other peninsular ports.
