Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete History of the Spanish-American War of 1898 It has been said that no countrys public policy is actuated by unselfishness or the( dictates of humanity. To a certain extent 1;-this is true, since mutual jealousy and dis trust among nations render such a course difficult and well-nigh impossible. But the United States, which struck the blow for liberty in 1776, and for unity in 1861, next smote in the sacred name of humanity. The cries of the dead and dying on her doorsteps fell no longer on deaf ears. Disavowing all intention of adding the island of Cuba to our domain, we made war upon the wickedest nation that claims to be civilized, and we waged it in behalf of a weak but gallant people who needed our 1 help. Not since the world began has a more righteous war been prosecuted bravely to a Jtriumphant conclusion. It is important that all the features of this struggle should be understood.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Nevertheless it will be desirable, even without awaiting official statements, which may not be published for years by the two belligerent parties, to sift the confused mass of material which has come to us through the newspapers and to try and describe the most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 2015-07-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Law and Diplomacy of the Spanish-American War This work is intended as a study of the relations of the United States with Spain during the late Cuban insurrection and the resultant Spanish war. The history of the conduct of the belligerents from the standpoint of international law has been emphasized. The method of treatment is not without numerous precedents in recent monographic literature: Amedee Bre-net, "La France et L'Allemagne devant le droit international pendant les operations militaires de la guerre de 1870-71," Paris, 1902; Takahashi, "Cases on International Law during the Chino-Japanese War," 1899; Baty, "International Law in South Africa;" Smith and Sibley, "International Law as interpreted during the Russo-Japanese War," Boston, 1905; and Hershey, "International Law and Diplomacy of the Russo-Japanese War," are conspicuous and more or less ambitious undertakings of the same kind. The French writers have given this aspect of recent history the most careful attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Spanish-American War: Embracing a Complete Review of Our Relations With Spain But what could we do? The situation was inexorable. It was either ruthlessly to beat down, or be ignominiously humiliated. When nations can do nothing they can fight, and fight we did. And so did the Spaniard. But centuries of moral poison, percolating through the veins of the body politic of Spain, had done their work. The obso lete Spaniard was no match for the alert and enterprising American. The war was quickly over. It might not have been so quickly over in the case of Germany and France; but its end would have been the same. Spain has no reason to be ashamed of her part in it. Through out the United States, at least, the Spanish character stands higher to-day than it did before the war, though the Spaniards have Admirals Montejo and Cervera and General Toral to thank for the maintenance of the national credit.
