Is Edison's "Battle of Manila" online?

[cawkercitykid]

I am trying to find on the internet the Edison Kineteoscope clips mentioned in this article. I know I have seen some of them before, but they were part of longer films or documentaries. Are the individual clips viewable online somewhere? Thanks for your help.

The Battle of Manila does not survive in the Library of Congress Paper Print collection. There's always a chance that it survives on film. The LoC does have some Spanish American films online, including some involving the Philippines.

These were actually short-short films and the showmen put several films together to present an early newsreel. There is information on Spanish-American war films in The American Newsreel 1911-1967 by Raymond Fielding.
