Abstract
After the final defeat in the war against the United States, the Spanish government suspended constitutional rights from July 14th, 1898 to February 8th, 1899, afraid of internal uprising and the critical scrutiny of the press. For this reason, during this period two types of press control policies were implemented: preventive and repressive. This article focuses on the later approach and its operating mechanisms. Based on hemerographic analysis, this paper shows that the most frequent repressive methods were the closing of publications and court martials against publishers and journalists. These mechanisms did not always abide by pre-publication censorship. When independent from it, they acted more as a post-publication censorship mechanism. Likewise, following these punitive measures, publications covered the phenomenon and even protested the measures
