> OUR NEW POSSESSIONS"
\ TIMELY BOOK ON \ CURREN'
TOPIC.
In IL Trumbull White Has Given a
Compendium Of Information ON q
Subject Of Interest

"Our New Possessions" is the title Of
book recently published by the Mon
arch Book Company of Chicago, treat
ing of the territory acquired provision
ally or permanently by the United
states as the result of the Spanish war.
The book is handsomely gotten up and
is profusely illustrated. The pictures
for the most part are well chosen and
really serve to illustrate the text,
The author is Trumbull White, who
brings large capacity and experience
and many qualifications and accom-
plishments to the work. He is world
wide traveller, and has been trained to
habits of keen and careful observation
by much experience as a newspaper
correspondent in important undertake
ings. In another direction he has had
valuable experience being the author OF
a successful popular history of the war
between China and Japan. So that he
brings to the work not only the careful
painstaking, discriminating Judgment
of the historian, but the livelier facul-
ties of the traveller and the newspaper
writer. With the exception of the Phil
ippines and Guam, he has been i'm all
the countries of which he treats, so that
his work has that touch and color which
can only come from having seen the
things of which he writes. He was in
Hawaii about two years ago, and again
a little later on his return from a trip
to New Zealand and Australia.
The portions of the book devoted to
Cuba and Porto Rico are especially
valuable. With those two countries Mr..
White was thoroughly familiar. He was
in Cuba a number of times before the
Spanish American war and during the
war he was there with the army as
correspondent of the Chicago Record.
He went with the army to Porto Rico
and was all over that Island and stu
died 1t thoroughly.
While the chapters on the Philippines
are confessedly from other sources than
the personal observations of the writer,
they are written from elaborate re-
search and close touch with the best
sources of information. and show the
handling which only the travelled dis
elimination can give.
The portion of the book devoted to
Hawai- is not large. But into the space
given it, much information is compress
ed, and that of kind which cannot but
tend to give a correct idea of conditions
here. to the American public.
The book is on sale in Honolulu.
Mr.. White is now on a mission
through Siberia along the route of the
great trans-Sberian railway for the
Chicago Record.
