Notes:
A "patriotic" map of the China Seas at the outset of the Spanish American War. Dewey had defeated the Spanish on May 1 at the battle of Manila Bay, and a large American flag is planted on that spot. All of the flags of other colonial nations including the Spanish flag in the waters off the Philippines are materially smaller. Above the map is a sketch of troops wearing the elegant "New Campaign Uniform for U.S. Regulars." The cover of this issue of Harper's is a large photograph of a troop ship packed with soldiers, captioned, "Going to Help Dewey."
