Ex-Senator John J. Iiigalls, of
Kansas, whose fame as a lunlliant
writer, a man of remarkable scholar
ship and literary attainments, is even
greater than tliat of the distinguish
ed senator, announces a book on the
subject of the American-Spanish-Cuban
War. It is published by
the N. D. Thompson Publishing
Co., of St. Louis, Mo., and is an ex
haustive discussion . ot the causes ol
the war, and an equally exhaustive
history of its incidents, and a bril
liant analysis ot the lamous charac
ters conducting it. It is entitled
"American's War For Humanity in
Picture and Story." It promises to
be the one great and popular work
called forth by thib wonderfully in
teresting national episode. What
ever Senator Ingalls touches .le
adorns ; and this book shines and
sparkles in the light of his genius.
The present work is worthy of his
genius, and will be a monument to
his fame. The subject now so en
grossed the popular mind as to fore
cast for this book a sale that will be
universal. , It will be sold by sub--Bcription
