an American and his Cuban chum,
leave New York to join their parents in the interior of Cuba. The war
between Spain and the Cubans is on, and the boys are detained at
Santiago de Cuba, but escape by crossing the bay at night. Many
adventures between the lines follow, and a good pen picture of General
Garcia is given. The American lad, with others, is captured and cast
into a dungeon in Santiago; and then follows the never-to-be-forgotten
campaign in Cuba under General Shafter. How the hero finally escapes
makes reading no wide-awake boy will want to miss.

_A SAILOR BOY WITH DEWEY; or, Afloat in the Philippines_

The story of Dewey's victory in Manila Bay will never grow old, but
here we have it told in a new form--not as those in command witnessed
the contest, but as it appeared to a real, live American youth who was
in the navy at the time. Many adventures in Manila and in the interior
follow, giving true-to-life scenes from this remote portion of the
globe. A book that should be in every boy's library.

_OFF FOR HAWAII; or, The Mystery of a Great Volcano_

Here we have fact and romance cleverly interwoven. Several boys start
on a tour of the Hawaiian Islands. They have heard that there is a
treasure located in the vicinity of Kilauea, the largest active
volcano in the world, and go in search of it. Their numerous
adventures will be followed with much interest.

_PRESS OPINIONS OF CAPTAIN BONEHILL'S BOOKS FOR BOYS_

"Captain Bonehill's stories will always be popular with our boys, for
the reason that they are thoroughly up-to-date and true to life. As a
writer of outdoor tales he has no rival."--_Bright Days_.

"The story is by Captain Ralph Bonehill, and that is all that need be
said about it, for all of our readers know that the captain is one of
America's best story-tellers, so far as stories for young people
go."--_Young People of America_.

"The story is excellently told, and will please any intelligent boy
into whose hands it may fall."--_Charleston (S. C.) News_.

"We understand that Captain Bonehill will soon be turning from
sporting stories to tales of the war. This field is one in which he
should feel thoroughly at home. We are certain that the boys will look
eagerly for the Bonehill war tales."--_Weekly Messenger_.
