Here's a spiffy two-step march "dedicated to all boys and girls of America who will help build the new warship." In 1898 the battleship USS Maine blew up in Havana harbor during the Cuban War of Independence. The Spanish were blamed or suspected of causing the explosion, although it probably was caused by an accident, and the United States soon was at war with Spain for this and other reasons. The cover has a drawing of the Maine and a photo of "the boy who suggested the idea of building a war ship by contributions from boys and girls of America to commemorate the brave sailors of the ill-fated Maine". I'd say it's a good but quite forgotten march, worth reviving long after the Spanish-American War. Published by George B. Jennings of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1898. Original score source was from the US Library of Congress Historic Sheet Music Collection at this link: https://loc.gov/item/ihas.100003614 This is a reproduction of the original score, no changes were made. Score #267 in my current series "Women Ragtime Composers" featuring interesting selections written by ragtime era women.
