What did the Teller Amendment say?

Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado proposed the amendment to ensure that the United States would not establish permanent control over Cuba following the cessation of hostilities with Spain. The McKinley administration would not recognize belligerency or independence as it was unsure of the form an insurgency government might take. Without recognizing some government in Cuba, Congressmen feared McKinley was simply priming the island for annexation. The Teller clause quelled any anxiety of annexation by stating that the United States"... hereby disclaims any disposition of intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said island except for pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people."[3] The Senate passed the amendment, 42 to 35, on April 19, 1898, and the House concurred the same day, 311 to 6. President McKinley signed the joint resolution on April 20, 1898, and the ultimatum was forwarded to Spain. The Spanish-American War lasted from April 25 to August 12, 1898, and it ended with the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898. As a result, Spain lost control over the remains of its overseas empire consisting of Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippine islands, Guam and other islands. After Spanish troops left the island in December 1898, the United States occupied Cuba until 1902, and as promised in the Teller Amendment did not attempt to annex the island. However, under the Platt Amendment, crafted in 1901 by U.S. Secretary of War Elihu Root to replace the Teller Amendment, important decisions of the government of Cuba remained subject to override by the United States. This suzerainty bred resentment toward the U.S. According to Gregory Weeks, author of US and Latin American Relations (Peason, 2008, p. 56), "The Teller Amendment, authored by a Colorado Senator who wanted to make sure that Cuba's sugar would not compete with his state's crop of beet sugar, prohibited the president from annexing Cuba."

What is a Maynard designed 1851 breech loading rifle?

The Maynard tape priming system used a roll of paper tape with dots of priming material on the tape. When the weapon was cocked, the strip of paper advanced, and placed a dot of priming material above the nipple. While Maynard primers were soon replaced with percussion caps, the Maynard system is still around today- sort of. They still remain as the roll caps used in cap pistols. The value of your rifle would depend on condition, and would require an appraisal from an appraiser that knows antique firearms.

Are rotary pumps self-priming and if not how do I prime it?

Some rotary pumps are self-priming when dry. These pumps have a priming chamber that automatically does the self-priming when the pump is not in use. To prime a pump yourself, the priming plug should be removed. Water should then be poured into the pump. The entire priming process should take no longer than five minutes. If it takes longer than that, it could be indicative of a mechanical problem.
