Excerpt from The Relations of the United States and Spain Diplomacy This book is the outcome of a study of the causes of the war of 1898 between the United States and Spain. Beginning as a pre liminary chapter of the war, it was soon found that these causes were of such long growth and Of such intricate character that it was vain to hope to bring them into Short compass. The attempt at compression was abandoned and the book is thus an effort to bring before the reader the story of more than a hundred years of what has been really a racial strife; on the part of one race for actual domination over regions in which apparently it could not brook a division of rule; on the part of the other for the preserva tion of the status quo. The late war was thus but the culmination of difficulties which had their seed in the peace of 1763. They sprung into life twenty years later with the advent on the world's stage of the American Union; remained in full vigor for half a century thereafter with scarcely an interval of repose, and waxed and waned for seventy five years more, until finally war came in 1898 to remove the last cause Of friction. Few Of the 115 years from 1783 to 1898 were free from bitterness of feeling. The war was thus but a final episode in a century Of diplomatic ill-feeling, sometimes dormant but more Often dangerously acute.

The war was thus but a final episode in a century of diplomatic ill-feeling, sometimes dormant but more often dangerously acute. One of the races involved is essentially practical, untrammeled by the conventions and conservatism natural to an old civilization; protestant in the large sense of ignoring generally the ways of the past, and with its natural and racial protestantism accentuated by a democratic development of nearly three hundred years.

Excerpt from The Relations of the United States and Spain, Vol. 1: The Spanish-American War This work is intended in the main as a documentary history. An endeavor has been made to give all important orders, telegrams, and reports. It is not to be understood that these, or any considerable portion of them, are for the first time before the public. All of any real importance have already appeared in government publications or with governmental approval. The interior history of no war or other great event has ever before been so fully exposed as in the many volumes published by the American government and in the documents set forth with the authority of the government of Spain. These are given in detail in the bibliography. Using the words of the Messenger in Antigone, the writer can say, in part, "I saw"; and in whole: ... I will speak and hold back No syllable of the truth. Why should we soothe Your ears with stories, only to appear Liars thereafter? Truth is always right. This is the writer's view of history: neither to magnify our own exploits nor to depreciate those of the foe. We were comparatively strong in the material of war; he was weak; we had the initiative of the Anglo-Saxon, he the spirit of passive sacrifice which, as shown through history, has made the Spaniard strong in defence. Spain defeated was not Spain dishonored. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Relations of the United States and Spain, the Spanish-American War, Vol. 2 Tampa, selected as the base for the army which it was expected to send to Cuba, is on a shallow arm of Tampa Bay, in a perfectly flat district of coral sand covered at this time with open forests of moderate-sized pines. From the sandy and absorbent character of the soil, and the shade afforded by the park-like distribution of the pines, it was in many ways an ideal point for a large camp. The vast and palatial Tampa Bay Hotel, the only building of value (separated by an arm of the bay from the small town, made up of cheap wooden structures used as cigar factories, in which most of the employees were Cubans), was an important element as affording excellent headquarters. Ten miles south-west was Tampa Port, the head of navigation, and the terminus of the railway. This was the point of departure for the Plant line of steamers for Key West and Havana. The railway was the property of Mr. Plant, under whose able administration the district had been developed and whose energetic and able staff was of much assistance in the working of the overtaxed single line of rails. The chief drawback was the heat of the district at this season, accentuated by the sandy character of the soil, and which was almost unbearable to men brought from the higher plains of the Western regions, and even from Alaska, in the same woollen clothing with which they had left the Western posts. They wore this same clothing until the end of July. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
