[273] The War with Spain, by Henry Cabot Lodge, and The Spanish War, by General Russell A. Alger, may be consulted with advantage. Both are published by Harper & Brothers. Harper’s Encyclopædia of United States History, VI, affords a picturesque account of the battle of Manila Bay, by Ramon Reyes Lala, a Filipino author and lecturer. Professor Latané’s account of the war, in his America as a World Power (Harper & Brothers), offers an excellent example of judicial historical treatment.—Editor.
