How can you sell your model 1898 Springfield?
Let's start with the fact that there is no "model 1898 Springfield." The US military rifle made at the Springfield armory as the "Model of 1898" is better known as the Krag-Jorgensen (readily identified by the box magazine on the right side of the receiver, instead of underneath). Up until the late 80's, Springfield Armory (actually Springfield, Inc, and no relation to the old government armory) imported the Mauser M98, and in 1995 the CZ 98. I am uncertain as to the markings on those guns, however. If you have the Mauser or CZ, you have a utility / hunting rifle of value to shooters, but not collectors. If you have a Krag-Jorgensen, get it examined and appraised before you even think of selling it.

What kind of rifles did Germany use during World War 1?
Germany used the Model 1898 Mauser rifle as its standard infantry weapon. There was a shorter version, the Model 1898K carbine, which had the bolt handle curved down. Both were bolt-action with a five shot internal magazine, and were 7.92MM in caliber, but often referred to as 8MM. This continued to be Germany's standard rifle through WWII, though by the end of that later conflict some German troops were equipped with the world's first assault rifle, the Sturmgewehr 1943, which was the inspiration for the Russian AK-47.The Model 1898 is considered the first modern bolt-action rifle. The innovation of Paul Mauser was the use of two locking lugs on the bolt, front and back, which was a great improvement over previous bolt assemblies, and provided a much tighter seal of the breech. The US, which had just made a large investment in equipping its forces with the Krag rifle, saw the quantum improvement represented by Mauser's innovation, and licensed the design and incorporated it into a new rifle, the 1903 Springfield. All other nations had to produce a new generation of rifles to match this improvement. Mauser produced military rifles for a number of nations in Germany, in various calibers.After president Kennedy was assassinated with an Italian rifle of this generation purchased by mail order, the US Congress passed a gun-control act outlawing the sale of any weapon through the mail made since 1898, to cover the Model 1898 Mauser and all its imitators.

Did the US lose the Battle of Santiago in 1898?
No. But the Spanish put up a tougher fight than was anticipated and made it a difficult fight. The Spaniards had Mauser rifles, a German design. This was new at the time, soon every nation had a version of this type rifle, and they were used by all nations in WWI and every nation but the US in WWII. This was a superior weapon to the one used by US soldiers at Santiago. It had a better range, higher rate of fire, greater accuracy, and used true smokeless powder, so the shooter did not betray his position with puffs of smoke and obscure his vision with a cloud of powder smoke. The US had just invested a large amount equipping its troops with the Krag rifle. Nevertheless after the experience of fighting the Spaniards armed with Mauser rifles in 1898, the US adopted its own licensed version of the Mauser as its standard rifle in 1903, called the Springfield Model 1903.
