Explanation:

Yellow journalism involves sensationalized, exaggerated, or unsubstantiated news to attract readers, often promoting a particular agenda (like war sentiment). The headline "SPANISH CONSPIRATORS MURDERED OUR SAILORS" from the Salt Lake Herald makes a bold, accusatory claim (implying Spanish guilt without proven evidence) to stoke anti - Spanish feelings, fitting yellow journalism’s sensational and agenda - driving nature. The other headlines are more factual or less inflammatory.

Answer:

Salt Lake Herald, March 29, 1898: SPANISH CONSPIRATORS MURDERED OUR SAILORS
