WASHINGTON, July G.-Two days
fighting before Santiago has cost the
American army seventeen hundred
men. This estimate is made by the

careful figuring by the surgeons at the
hospitals. The list or wounded as
made ND at the division headquarters
is very large in proportion to the list
of those killed outright. Probably less
than one hundred, all told. of the
number of wounded, have died, max
ing the total number of death: in the
neighborhood of $50. The remainder
of the wounded will probably recover.

in his message to the Nicara guam con-
gFess that the contract for the construc-
ton of the canal has already been for
feited-
The contract has another year TO run,
according to the authorities here and
the understanding is that the contract
lust made with the new company ad-
nits as much, in that the new contract
does not take effect until October next
when the engagement with the mari
time company expires
Before the new agreement VIII pc
