- A scene taken from the war play "Winchester," about to be placed upon the stage, in which the heroine is carrying a pardon to her lover, who is condemned to be shot. As she comes into view, mounted on a fleet horse, a soldier suddenly appears at the bend in the road and starts in pursuit of the girl. He overtakes her after they have galloped about half a mile, and as he endeavors to lift her from her horse she thrusts a revolver in his face and fires, when he falls heavily to the ground from his running horse, and the heroine, accompanied by the rider-less horse of the spy, passes out of the foreground of the picture. Both life-size. Very realistic, and sure to become very popular.
- An incident of the Franco-Prussian War. It shows the bombardment of a house at Bazeille. It is the animated reproduction of de Neuville's celebrated painting.
- In one of his numerous reconstructed newsreels, the indefatigable French director, Georges Méliès, reenacts a fictional scene taking place in a fort at Tyrnavos during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897.
- "This is one of the greatest war films ever placed on the market. The enemy is seen scouting in the underbrush at the foot of a steep hill. Suddenly our own soldier boys appear under the order 'Forward by rushes,' and gallantly charge up the hill. A struggle takes place, but our boys are victorious and they plant our flag there to stay. The most realistic part of this subject is the explosion of bombs thrown by the enemy in close proximity to a soldier who has fallen, and who is being cared for by the Red Cross staff, who finally carry him on a stretcher. A most exciting picture."
- "This picture was taken a few days after the dreadful catastrophe which overtook the battleship 'Maine.' It shows the divers engaged in the gruesome task of searching the wreck for bodies."
- "This picture opens with troops in extended order running up through the underbrush of a grove. In the foreground is a trench into which they drop and fire at will."
- Views of the Spanish ship, 'Panama', captured in the Spanish-American War.
- Views of the burial in Key West of victims of the USS Maine.
- "Taken in Havana Harbor from a moving launch, and shows the wreck of the 'Maine' surrounded by wrecking boats and other vessels. The warped and twisted remains show how thoroughly this immense mass of iron and steel was blown out of all semblance of a vessel. The background of this picture is formed by the shores of Havana Harbor, and as the yacht moves around, a panoramic view of the shores adds an interesting feature."
- "This is another picture taken during the blockade of Havana Harbor. It shows a formidable battleship 'Iowa' in fighting trim. View as taken from a dispatch boat running by."
- "The great battleship is seen just as she appeared stripped for action and in her gray war paint, in the blockade of Havana Harbor. The battleship is under headway, and makes a very impressive picture."

- "This picture shows a battalion of U.S. soldiers disembarking from the boats which have carried them from the transports to the tropical shore, where their landing is opposed by an imaginary enemy. As the men wade through the water to the shore they fire at random; and when they once reach dry ground, charge through the thickets."
- "While the 'Sylvia' was off the coast of Cuba during the Spanish-American War, several issues of the 'New York Journal' were printed aboard her for distribution among the soldiers on shore. Our picture shows the 'Journal' employees at work getting out the paper. A very novel and interesting scene."
- "This is a wonderfully impressive picture, taken on the morning after the battle in which the Spanish navy was destroyed. This battleship, once the 'Pride of Spain,' is shown a ruined hulk on the beach, the terrible effect of the guns of Uncle Sam's warship being apparent everywhere. Contrasted with our earlier picture of the 'Viscaya' in New York harbor, the 'Viscaya' here presents a woeful appearance."
- "This picture was taken during the mobilization of the army in the South, at the opening of the Spanish-American War. This regiment is made up of cowboys and rough riders from the West. Shown on parade."
- "A file of Spanish soldiers line up the Cubans against a blank wall and fire a volley. The flash of rifles and drifting smoke make a very striking picture." - from the Edison Catalog
- "A great pack train approaches rapidly, following the gray bell-mule. Cowboys dash to and fro, keeping them bunched. Clouds of dust arise as they pass."
- "From the upper windows of a ruined mill Cubans are firing at a scouting party of Spaniards, who return the volley. Fine smoke effects."

- New York City welcome to Sampson's fleet after the Battle of Santiago Bay.
- "On Saturday morning, August 20, 1898, six grim battleships of Admiral Sampson's Squadron sailed into New York Harbor and up the Hudson to receive a welcome from the people and to fire a salute of victory in sight of the tomb of the great soldier-hero of another war [Ulysses Grant]. We present the following films to the public as our share in the celebration, by means of which we not only satisfy the curiosity of people living too far distant to be present, but also perpetuate forever the glory of the occasion. The only vessel of the seven that looks as if she had been fighting. Rusty looking patches on her water line. Good, clear, close view."
- An excellent view of the trim little "Texas" taken on her way down the Hudson, after the salute. The background is the Riverside Park, at about 98th Street. Church steeple in the distance.
- New York City welcome to Sampson's Fleet after the Battle of Santiago Bay, Cuba.

- As the title of this Alice Guy war-themed short describes, there is a surprise attack on (or near) a house. The time of day is impossible to verify. Daybreak, evidently. With no particular set-up for the action, it is up to the viewer to decide why these men are here and why there are on the attack.
