ward tie achievement of this
astounding victory for which
neither ancient nor modern history
affords parallel in the complete
ness of event and the marvellous
disproportion of casualties, it
would be iavidlous to single out
any for special honor"
AS to the success gained by the
arms of the United States in
Cuba the president says that the
"earnest, lasting gratitude Of the
nation is unsparingly due. Nor
should we alone remember the
gailantry of the living. The

losses by battle and by disease
must cloud any exultation and
teach us the awful cost of war,
however rightful the cause or
signal the victory"

wounded, in the army during the
war were: Officers, killed 23; en-
listed men, killed 257; total 2SO.

the crew of the Merrimac, not a
soldier or sailor was takon
prisoner.
PRAISE FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.
The president bears testimony
and pays fitting tribute "to the
patriotism and devotion of that
large portion of our army which,
although eager to be ordered to
the post of greatest exposure
fortunately was not required out
side of the United States"
The president says: "In trac-
ing these wants we are constantly
reminded of our obligations to
the Divine Master for His watch
full care over us and His safe
guidance, for which the nation
makes reverent acknowledgement
and offers humble prayer for con

THE PEACE COMMISSION.
Referring to the work Of the
peace commission the president
says: "These negotiations have
made hopeful progress SO that

ANSWER TO THE CZAR.

Referring to the proposition of
the czar of Russia for general
reduction of great military estao-
lishments, the president says:
"His majesty was at once in =
formed of the cordial sympathy of
this government with the princi-
pie involved in his exalted pur-
pose and of the readiness of the
United States to take part in a
conference.
