From unofficial reports sent out by
tho War and Navy Departments, the
losses on our side during the recent
war with Spain were as follows: Killed
in the army, 260; in the navy, IL; In
the marines, Z; wounded in tine army.
l, 400; in the navy, 10: in the marines,
ID. This gives total of 2T9 killed
and l, 423 wounded in a war of about
four months, while only 10 of the killed
and 90 of the wounded were in the
naval branch. And yet the navy did
the bulk o. the fighting. and the losses
our ships inflicted upon the enemy
we're undoubtedly enormous. The
entire casualties on our sias, however,
we're phenomenally light. far below the
record of many single battle during
the Civil War.

HOPES WERE DASHED.
N. P. Track Team Can't Run Holy Gross
From Present Outlook.

The track team Of the Holy Cross
Athletic Association has been anticipat-
ing with much pleasure the prospect of
a race with the U. of P. team at the in
vitation games Of the Boston Amateur
Athletic Association, in Boston, Feb.
18th, but their hopes were for the mo-
ment dashed Thursday, when Manager
Toohig of the Holy Cross track team
received a letter from Manager John
Graham Of the B. A. A. team, in which
the latter stated that U. P. would not be
able to run Holy Cross at the B. A. A.
meet, Feb. 18th, the U. p. team alleging
that the local team is too strong for
them AS the Holy Cross team has de-
feated other university teams, and es-
U. P. due to the advice Of Mike Murphy,
who trained the Yale team when it was
defeated by the Holy Cross runners,
and who knows their ability.
Unbaff1ed, however, Manager Toohig
will write the U. P. manager to find out
if the latter cannot get his team to run.
Manager Toohig thinks that this fear
of his team has false foundation, as he
believes the team to be weak compared
with the team of past seasons.
Two of the star men, Erskine and Nc
Laughlin, are not now connected with
the team, and their absence leaves
whole that cannot be filed. After the
situation Is explained by a personal let
ter to the U. p manager by Manager
Toohig, the latter is confident that U.
P. will reconsider it's action and iwll
consent to the race. Manager Graham
said further in his letter that he had
written to the Cornell and Columbia
managements, but that they, too, had
refused to run HOLY Cross
If u P.'s ultimatum affirms the course
pursued, as told in Manager Graham's
letter, as Is thought will not be done
after the personal communication Of
Manager Toohig, negotiations will be
opened with Georgetown University
