Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From the Spanish-American War The following considerations constitute the Opinions of the author as acquired by him on the scene of war. He wishes to call special attention to the fact that until authentic data are available as to the strength of the two Opponents in the different battles, the tactical situations and intentions, and the losses in personnel and material, the reports can be but incomplete. Nevertheless it will be desirable, even without awaiting official statements, which may not be published for years by the two belligerent parties, to sift the confused mass of material which has come to us through the newspapers and to try and describe the most important operations, at least approximately, as they have taken place. To that end I have partly made use of reports of Germans who were eye witnesses of the events. It is hardly necessary to emphasize the fact that the author has observed the strictest impartiality in his estimates of the situation. He has the same high regard for Spanish and Americans.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From the Spanish-American War in the Philippine Islands We get up this second edition of our little pamphlet somewhat altered, by request of those, who did not succeed in getting a copy of the first, owing to the limited number printed. So much has already been written oft he naval battle on May 1st, that any more in that direction must needs be going over previously well beaten ground. Pretty much everybody has by this time of course read all the particulars of the American fleet's splendid achievements on that memorable day, but as a good many wishes to keep this little book as a souvenir, and as it would be incomplete without at least a brief description of the opening and chief feature of the Spanish-American war in the Philippines, we reprint a condensed account of the battle and the movements leading up to it. In describing the miscellaneous events we have had to resort almost exclusively to our own observations, as news from the various ships as well as from the camps ashore, has been rather difficult to obtain. There is one statement of ours, which doubtless will cause comment: - the fact that we give the number of dead on the Reina Christina as 364, while Admiral Dewey's report only shows 150, In alluding to the official report of the Spanish authorities, the local press makes use of the larger figure, and we have taken the liberty to do the same, although it is more than probable that a good many of the missing men were not killed in the battle. A large number of the Christina's crew were native Filipinos, impressed in the service, and no doubt a good many of them availed themselves of the opportunity to desert, when the crash came.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Springfield in the Spanish-American War In the Spanish-American war of 1898, Springfield rose to the occasion as she did in 1770 and 1861 and sent her youngest and best and bravest sons to the front. It was her sons who fought and fell at El Caney, the one battle of modern times where infantry, practically unsupported by artillery, captured a well fortified town and it was her sons who were in the lead in drawing the attacking lines so tightly about the city of Santiago that its surrender had to follow. It was her sons also who, on the high seas, on a fast auxiliary cruiser, did faithful service as a portion of the navy and had the satisfaction of doing their share in remembering the Maine by sinking a Spanish transport and a gun boat. Her sons fell on the battlefield and died in the camps and hospitals after enduring as soldiers, the hardships and toils of one of the shortest yet most important and bloodiest campaigns in history and of the honors of that war, Springfield claims a goodly share for herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greater Salem in the Spanish-American War For Two years previous to the breaking out of the Spanish-American war, certain residents of the Isle of Cuba, about 30,000 in number, had been engaged in a revolution against the mother country of Spain, in an endeavor to secure their independence. War had been raging intermittently on the island for years, and although thousands of Spanish soldiers had been sent to Cuba, the insurgents, as those who were up in arms against the government were called, had almost invariably won the battles, or had run away in the face of superior numbers and saved themselves a defeat. This state of things had so enraged the Spanish that the war was carried on with terrible cruelty by them. Cuban soldiers, when caught, were shot under the pretence of being spies, while old women, men and children, who were lured to the cities by the Spaniards by promises of being kept in safety, were starved and ill treated so that they died by the hundreds. During this time the United States had observed strict neutrality, although from time to time efforts had been made by members of Congress to have the insurgents recognized as belligerents, or the Cuban government recognized, but all were unsuccessful. During this period the United States had expended considerable money in maintaining a fleet of cruisers as patrols on the southern coast to prevent American ships from landing arms or supplies on the island to help the insurgents - filibustering, it was called.
