Chapter XXVI: Pages 406-423

THE WAR WITH SPAIN IN 1898.

The most useful book for schools is perhaps Henry Cabot Lodge's _The War with Spain_.

The following books are also useful: Brooks's _Story of Our War with Spain_; Abbot's _Blue Jackets of 1898_; Morris's _The War with Spain_; Davis's _The War of 1898_; and Spears's _Our Navy in the Spanish War_.
