SEVENTEEN WERE KILLED
Losses Of the Navy During the Recent
War.
Considering Results Obtained the
Remarkable in Naval History.

Seventeen men killed and 81 casualties all
told were the loss suffered by the Unit ID
states navy during the war. The figures
have just been compiled at the Navy De-
partment, and they present some curious
features. For instance, in Dewey's great
fight in Manila bay not man was killed,
and every one of the nine men wounded
was able to return to duty and did raturn.
In the battle of July 3. off Santiago, whe..
the Spanish fleet made its desperate at
tempt to run the gauntlet of the North At
laEtic fleet, one man was killed, and there
We're eleven casualties altogether.
In that fight, also, every one of the ten
men wounded returned to duty. The loss
suffered in the attack upon the forts at the
entrance TO Santiago by the American fleet
June % was slightly larger than in the case
of the great naval battle of July g. for
while the list of killed was the same, nama-
ly, one sailor, eleven men were the subjects
OF casualties, and only seven of these were
able TO return to duty subsequently.
The heaviest loss of the war. so far as the
navy was concerned, was at Guantanamo
bay, when the gallant Marine Corps made
the first landing on Cuban soil in the face
OF a greatly superior force of Spanish
troops. There were twenty-five casualties
in that 1O0-hour fight, and Of the list six
n arines were killed. OF the sixteen wound
ed men, nine returned to duty three We're
ihvalided from the ssrvice and four con-
tinue under treatment.
Next after Guantanamo, the battle with
the forts and gunboats off Cienfuegos
caused the greatest number of casualties,
the list aggregating twelve, with one man
Killed. Another man died subsequently
from wounds, nine returned to duty and
one continues under treatment.
More fatal in its results, though the casu-
atty list was only eight, was the fierce bat
tie between the torpedo boat WinSlow,
commanded by Lieut.. Bernadou, and the
little revenue cutter Hudson with the Span
ish land batteries and artillery forces at
Cardenas. OF the eight casualties five were
deaths, though three wounded men after
ward returned to duty. This fight stands
as the most fatal of the war SO far as the
navy was concerned.
In the bombardment of San Juan the
casualties numbered eight. with one man
killed. One of the wounded men was in
vaEded home while six returned to duty.
There were four other casualties, occur
ring in as many separate agements, and
that completes the list of naval losses
These We're: One man killed on the Ban
croft August ,: one on the Amphitrite
August g; one man wounded on the Eagle,
July y, and one On the Yankee, August IL
OF the total number of men wounded in
the war tsixty -seven), fifty-four were re-
turned to duty, one died of wounds, six
We're invalided from the service and six
continued under treatment.
Considering results obtained, the small
number of casualties is said to be the most
remarkable in the naval history of the
world.

Addresses were made by Bishop McKim
of Japan, who spoke particularly of mis-
sionary work in Toxic and Bishop Graves
OF China, who said foreign missions owed
a great debt to Virginia, and especially to
the virginia Seminary, near Alexandria.
She had sent many sons to foreign fields,
and her course had been an inspira ton to
other like institutions. The speaker dwelt
with force upon the fact that in China the
great need of missions was not so much
men as it was women. A set of conditions
social and political, had made this so. In
because the women could not be approach
ed by a Clergyman. Here declared the
bishop, is a great field for consecrated
able, educated women, and if the Woman's
Auxiliary did not take up the work it
would be guilty of gross derehction.
Bishop Brooke of Oklahoma and the ven
cradle Bishop Whipple of Minnesota also
made addresses. A reception was held after
the service in Christ Church Chapel and a
dinner served later on at Odd Fellows Hall

PARIS PEACE COMMISSION.
The Spaniards Have Already Outlin-
ed Their Expectations.


PARIS, October S.-The United States
peace commissioners began their usual
three hours sessions at 10 o'clock this
morning. They are understood to have
taken into consideration direct suggestions
and counter propositions from the Span
iards, of which the Americans now have
enough to engage their attention at the
daily session. 1t may be regarded as quite
likely that the Spaniards have already out
lined their apparent expectations and that
they are beyond the line of possible ac-
quiescence by the Americans. The latter
are now acting along well-considered lines,
consistently and with a definite end IN
view. They have to some degree disclosed
American expectation and determination
The Spaniards, however seem unable or
unwilling to understand or believe the
Americans have at the outset set forth
their requirements and that they are des-
tined to remain virtually unchanged by
finesse or counter diplomacy.
While the Philippines have not yet been
reached in the deliberations, this question
is doubtless relatively not far distant. and
at that point is likely to come to the full
stress of the diplomatic controversy.
Referring to the Philippine phase of the
negotiations the Gaulois today says:
The question was somewhat touched
upon, though not discussed, yesterday: but
there was enough to indicate serious diff
cuties when it does come up

since that time.

how to load. But they fought like vet
