Four Timely Books 



RICHARD HARDIXG DAVIS'S NEW BOOK. 



THE CUBAN AND PORTO RICAN CAMPAIGNS. 



With 117 Illustrations from photographs and drawings by eye-witnesses, and 

 with 4 Maps. 121110, $1.50. 



The remarkable graphic and picturesque quality in Mr. Davis's narrative of the principal 

 events in the recent war in Cuba and Porto Rico gives this book a unique distinction. The fact 

 that he was an eye-witness of the battles which he describes so vividly makes his record of the 

 campaign as valuable historically as it is entertaining in a personal and pictorial way. 



"Mr. Davis's articles on the war have been characterized by clearness, directness, and high 

 intelligence." — New York Times. 



" If Mr. Davis had never written anything else, his articles in the recent numbers of Scrib- 

 ner's Magazine would have given him a reputation as one of the most vivid and picturesque of 

 living writers in English." — Literary World. 



OUR NAVY IN THE WAR WITH SPAIN. 



By JOHN R. SPEARS, Author of "The History of our Navy."

Mr. Spears's book tells the story, in detail and with great spirit, of the naval battles, begin- 

 ning with Manila Bay and ending with the destruction of Cervera's fleet. 



" Mr. Spears's story of the work of our navy in the war with Spain will be read with interest 

 and profit, not only within the service, but by the American people. The volume is a concise, 

 accurate, discriminating, and just narrative of the achievements of the naval branch in the war 

 with Spain. The volume will be an invaluable addition to libraries of contemporaneous war 

 literature." — Army and Navy Register. 



COMMERCIAL CUBA. 



By WILLIAM J. CLARK. 



A Book for Business Men. With 8 Maps, 7 Plans of Cities, and 40 full-page 



Illustrations, and a Commercial Directory of the Island of Cuba. Large 



8vo, $4.00. 



"'Commercial Cuba,' by William J. Clark, which the Scribners have just published, is a 



thoroughly good and useful book. We should not know where to find within another pair of 



covers so much and so carefully sifted information bearing on this subject. His painstaking 



account of the railway and telegraph systems ; of highways and harbors ; of rivers and water 



supplies, and lighthouses ; of sugar and tobacco-growing ; and his detailed description of each 



province and of every city of any size, together with a ' business directory ' for the whole island 



make his book one of great value for reference as well as for practical guidance. In the present 



situation of Cuban affairs it should command a wide sale. Its accuracy is certainly of a high 



order." — New York Evening Post. 



YESTERDAYS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

With 32 full-page Illustrations from photographs. Fourth edition. i2mo, $1.50. 

 " Every page abounds in anecdote; and had Mr. Stevens been a trained newspaper corre- 

 spondent he could hardly have written his record in a livelier or more observant fashion." — 

 Commercial Advertiser.
