ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND GONE.

Gen. Blauco has struck terrible
blow to Spanish hopes by his disclos-
ure that OF the $4,000 regular troops
received by Gen. Weyler only $4,000
fit for duty remain" OF the 100000
Spanish soldiers lacking, it appears
that 10000 are now in the hospitals,
leaving 63,0O1 to be passed to the ac-
count of those dead of disease or
wounds, or sent home as permanently
invaded or for other reasons.
This revelation must startle Mad
rid. There have been no encounters
such as In our own civil war were
called its great battles, and the Span
iards cannot have lost many men in
any one engagement; but constant
skirmishing and the ravages of dis.
ease have made up an appalling ag.
gregate. Perhaps it may ne said that
Gen. Blanco ought, in SPANS inter-
est, to have concealed these figures by
making his report confidential; but
he does not wish to arouse undue ex-.
pectatiop, and makes known at the
outset that he has, present for duty.
less than half of the total force sent
to his predecessor.
The disclosure will hardly cause
Weyler to be regarded with more
favor, now that he has reached the
peninsula. Spain may well ask him
where are her legions. But the most
obvious reflection is as to Blanco's
means of prosecuting his task. If
Spain could not conquer the rebel
lion with 100000 electives, how can
she hope to do so with less than 100,-
600? Gen. Blanco lGay receive some
reinforcements, but the accumulation
OF Spanish troops i'll Cuba probably
long ago reached its climax, and per-
haps at no time hereafter can we
expect the available strength to be as
great.
