FATALITIES IN WAR.
Deputy Commissioners of Pensions
SAYS II Is Generally yOverestimatcd.

Washington Letter to the Chicago News.
The deputy commissioner of pensions
was commenting today on some of the
inaccurate statements made on the oc-
casion of the Hancock statue unveiling
of the number of Union soldiers killed
in the Gettysburg engagement. Said
he:
zone authority stated Hancock's
command furnished 1000, or about half
the dead, at Gettysburg. The records
show that only 1884 Union soldiers in
all were killed at Gettysburg. This Is
only one of the inaccuracies of which
those who have not made an eXamina-
ton of the records touching the num-
ber killed in battle during the war Of
the rebellion are likely to fall The
fatality in battle is usually considered
much greater than 1t really is. If any
one should answer offhand the number
he believed to have been killed on the
Union side at the battle of Gettysburg
he would almost invariably fix the
number at once as from 5000 to 10000,
and he would go about as much over
the mark touching any other battle of
the late war concerning which a SINH
lar question might be propounded
"At the battle of Antietam the num-
ber of Union soldiers killed was 2,11O;
the confederates, $500. First Bull
Run, Union killed, 4Sl; confederates,
269 Second Bull Run, Union, 500; con-
