- DirectorJames H. White"This shows a body of U.S. Infantrymen attacking a fore of Filipino Insurgents, who are strongly entrenched on a high hill. The U.S. soldiers make a gallant chart up the hill, headed by an officer mounted on a white horse, and after fierce fighting, capture the Filipino stronghold."
- DirectorJames H. White"After driving the Filipinos out of the trenches our troops, after firing one or two volleys, press forward. The enemy returns the fire and the forward rush is marked by a trail of dead and wounded. Following close behind comes hospital corps. Stretchers are quickly brought out and the nurses tenderly care for the fallen and carry them to the rear."
- DirectorJames H. White"A dense thicket at Caloocan showing tropical foiliage and large trees. First one straggler, than another, then a whole body of flying Filipinos, retreating in disorder, firing occasionally, falling in the brush, and finally disappearing. A smoky haze hangs over the scene like a pall. Then comes the U.S. Infantry crouching in the underbrush, firing and advancing steadily around the waving flag. Just as the advance is in full swing the officer in command is shot. Down drops the upraised sword, and he falls forward. The scene is well chosen, and from a photographic and dramatic standpoint, the picture is an excellent one."
- DirectorJames H. WhiteReenactment of action in the Spanish-American War.
- DirectorJames H. White"Up the road comes a detachment of infantry, firing, advancing, kneeling and firing, again and again. The advance of the foot soldiers is followed by a troop of Rough Riders, riding like demons, yelling and firing revolvers as they pass out of sight. Other troops follow in quick succession, pressing on to front."
- DirectorJames H. White"The Filipinos execute a flank movement and re-occupy the trenches, cutting off the advance guard of Americans. The rebel flag waves over the ditch and they defend their positions bravely. A fierce charge by our soldiers makes them give way and they scatter in all directions. The officer in command pays dearly for his desperate sortie. Just as his horse clears the embankment the officer throws up his hands and falls backward with a crash; while the rider-less horse dashes off toward the American lines. Full of exciting action and excellent detail."
- DirectorJames H. WhiteStarsWilliam Rufus ShafterJosé Toral y VázquezJoseph WheelerThe white flag of truce is prominent in the center of the picture. Shafter and Wheeler are on the left, conferring with staff officers. Toral hands his sword to General Shafter, who returns it with a courteous bow.
- DirectorJames H. White"Wounded soldiers are lying around, watching the arrival of a poor fellow on a stretcher from the front. The nurse and attendants all have the red cross on their arms."
- DirectorJames H. White"This subject is without doubt one of the most interesting and exciting war pictures ever photographed for moving picture work. It shows a body of marines landing on the Cuban shore, the shallows prevent the boat from approaching closely, they wade ashore and are protected by the rifles of their comrades still remaining in the boat."
- DirectorJames H. White"Soldiers are scouting through the thick underbrush. 'Forward by rushes,' comes the order, and up the hill they go, rushing, firing and throwing themselves behind each sheltering clump of bushes. Answering shots come from the block-house and the ranks wither. A struggle on the hill-top, and victory! Our flag is there to stay! Has created greatest enthusiasm."
- DirectorJames H. White1899 American short film reenacting the actual historical event of US Colonel Frederick N. Funston swimming the Baglag River under heavy Filipino fire in April 1899 for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
- DirectorJames H. White"Shielded by a thick bit of timber at a turn of the road stands a company of mounted men, awaiting the order to advance. In the foreground, left by the flotsam of battle, is a dead horse from the shelter of which two marksmen are picking off the enemy. Suddenly comes the command, 'Forward,' and the riders dash up the road, out of sight, leaving behind them a great cloud of dust and smoke. A detachment of infantry covers the advance, and volley repeatedly as they press forward."
- DirectorJ. Stuart BlacktonAlbert E. Smith"Down goes the Spanish flag, and up floats the Stars and Stripes. Down falls the symbol of tyranny and oppression that has ruled in the new world for four hundred years, and up goes the Banner of Freedom. In the distance are the turrets and battlements of Morro, the last foothold of Spain in America."
- DirectorJames H. WhiteRecreation of military maneuvers in the Philippines in the Spanish-American War.
- DirectorJames H. WhiteTroops of C Co., 1st Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers on parade upon their return from fighting in the Spanish-American War in Cuba.
- DirectorJames H. White"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 bright sunshine throws a shadow from every gun and turret."
- DirectorJames H. WhiteThe return of the U.S. Army's 2nd Regiment to its headquarters in New Jersey from service in the Spanish-American War.
- DirectorJames H. WhiteNew York City welcome to Sampson's Fleet after the Battle of Santiago Bay, Cuba.
- DirectorJames H. White"Of the thousand and more men who left New York for the Cuban Campaign, scarcely three hundred were able to shoulder their rifles to march before the Biograph camera at Camp Wikoff. The picture shows many of the companies reduced to seven or eight men, and the whole regiment, rank and file is in a sad condition. The picture is remarkably fine in every respect."
- DirectorJames H. WhiteAn 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.

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."
