The US still declared war on Spain.
Although Spain agreed to many of McKinley’s demands (offering reforms, autonomy for Cuba and recalling General Weyler), public outrage, sensationalist press coverage, and political pressure led the United States to pursue military action. McKinley asked Congress to intervene; Congress passed a war resolution (and the Teller Amendment), and the Spanish–American War began in April 1898.
