SPAIN'SLOSSES IN CUBA
Statistics Show an Awful Ag
gregate of Fatalities.
.THarpers Weekly

Some idea of the losses suffered
by the Spanish regular troops
during the present instruction
in Cuba may be formed from
the following figures:
Between March 1, 1865, and
March I, 1897, Spain sent to
Cuba 10 generals, 015 field and
622 subaltern officers, and $50,
ass soldiers. To tbese must be
added the $4,000 officers and
men forming the regular Cuba
establishment at the outbreak OF
the instruction, making total
Of nearly 100000. OF these o
general, 7 field and 65 subalter I
officers. and 7c4 men died on
wounds, while 4o3 officers aud
8,I64 men were wounded and pre-
sumably recovered. The losses
caused by the enemy are
then small, being but little
more than 5 per cent. OF the to-
tai present for duty. The case
is altered, however, in the mat
ter of disease: 31S officers and
1900 men died of yellow feve1
while 127 officers and about 49,

after adding the reinforcements
sent out during the year ended
March Is, 1898, there cannot be
i'll Cuba to day more than 100,
900 regular Spanish troops able
to bear arms. 1t is probable that
the number is somewhat less
than this, but the assumption
Of Ioo, 900 gives US a small factor
Of safety in estimating the NUM-
Der of men we shall need in or
der to overcome Spanish resist
ance on land in the island.
It must be reccollected that
the foregoing figures are only
approximately correct, as there
is ground for the belief that the

Spanish army in Cuba. But fol

Cuba About as Big as Ohio.
Chicago Tribune

Cuba has the area of 4I,655
square miles, comparing most
closely with Ohio, which has an
area of 900 square miles. Por-
to Rico, with an area of $3.50
square miles, is nearly thrice
the size of Rhode Island, which
has an area of 1880 square
miles. Only 10 per cent, of the
area Of Cuba has been cultivated
under the Spanish tyranny, yet
enormous revenues has been
wrung from it. The wealth thus
yielded to Spain in the past is
sufficient guarantee Of the re-
markable degree of prosperity
that will be rendered possible
under free and enterprising
home government. Though
Cuba resembles both Ohio and
kentucky in area. it resembles
kentucky in population, having
had, before the beginning of the
Spanish butchery, a total Of
1891 98 inhabitants, as against
Kentucky's I.S58,635. Only
about one sixth of kentucky.

Sunday comes, and with it an
invitation to 60 to church.

overdre5sing. In church you

callers appear. AS it is early in
the evening the veranda is filled
with the other people staying in
the house, but instead of intro
ducing the young men to the
other girls, and forming jolly
party for the evening, you take
them off in a corner, devote
yourself to entertaining them,
aud express the wonder audibly,
"Why people when they see

AS all the sick and wounded,
however, have not been sent
back to Spain, the nulr Der OF
these left behind must be taken
into account III estimating the
total losses Of the Spaniards.
While this number cannot be
accura ely determinated, yet
there is reason for believing
that it cannot fall far short Of
10000. Accepting this estimate,
we have a total rate Of 52I per

NEW ARMY FOR CUBA.
Fifty thousand Men to Go to Havana
This Fall.

Fifty thousand Men to Go to Havana
This Fall.
Washington, Aug. 2.-An army of not
less than $4,000 men will be sent to Gu
ba this fall. This army of occupation
will operate principally in Havana prov
ince.
The administration now feels that
adjusting matters in Cuba are being
perfected. The army will be under COM
mand of Major General FitzHugh Lee,
and it's principal duty will be to estab-
lish law and order in the island.
Owing to the danger from yellow
fever the movement of these forces is
not expected to begin until the middle
of September or the 1st of October. In
the meantime all ten of the immune
regiments will be sent to Cuba. The
army of occupation will consist almost
entirely of volunteers.
Since the beginning of the war the
president has contemplated sending
General Lee to Cuba as military gov
ernor. General Lees experience In Gu
ba and his knowledge of Cuban CHAR
acter, it is thought, especially MT MN
for the position. Whethev or not ne
will govern the whole islan6' or confine
his jurisdiction to Havana province
cannot at present be stated.
The volunteer forces are now in con-
dition to take the field. The men are
we'll equipped and organized. They long
for service in the field. The president
and Secretary Alger, realizing the desire
of the men for active service, Will Sc
lect for this campaign as far as possl-
BILE regiments which have not seen the
enemy but which have for months llved
a monotonous camp life. Forces VIII
nrobably be taken from Chickamauga,
jacksonville and Camp Alger.
The army of occupation will be scat
tered over the whole island, occupying,
under trusted officers, the prlnclpal
towrs and cities. Military rule VIII pe

she fell into your hands as you fiogged
those unfortunate south sea islanders.
In other words, Mr.. Barkmansworth,
am the Beautiful White Devil
Though he must have realized his po-
sition long before she had finished
speaking, the unfortunate man now for
the first time showed signs of fear. In
deed il is my opinion he would have
fallen to the ground had not Walworth
upheld him on one side, the cockswain
of the boat which had brought him do
ing the same upon the other. Allie con-
tinued in the same quiet voice:
Tell me, You, sir, have you anything
to say why should not treat you as
you deserve? So far You have craftily
managed to escape punishment from
your own authorities, but you must see
that cunning will not avail You here.
If you have anything to say, say it
quickly, for l cannot keep your boat
waiting.
The wretched man took step for
ward, and, the eyes of all on board be-
ing upon him, tried to carry the matter
off with high hand
What business is it of yours what l
do?' he asked
1t is my business" Allie replied,
because you have threatened what you
would do TO me when you caught me
and also because no one else will see
justice done to You.
"You dare not punish me !" he cried.
" You shall not warn you l am in
high authority, and I'll exterminate
you as | would rat if you dare to lay
a hand upon me. "
$50 you try to buster do your" said
Allie quietly. Very good. In that case
need have no scruples at all in carry
ing out my plan. You hogged those
poor women in Yakilavi and that man
1t Tuarani to death. l will be mere
nerciful. But logged you shall be.
Men, do your duty"
The words were hardly out of her
mouth before four of her crew, who had
been instructed in the parts
