Spanish Losses in Cuba.
Harper'S Weekly.

Some idea of the losses suffered by
the Spanish regular troops during the
present insurrectiou in Cuba may be
formed from the following figures:
Between March l, 1895, and March

6l5 field and 1922 suhaltern officers,
and $50, 435 soldiers. To these must be
added the $4,000 officers and men form

tie, l general. 6 field and SO subaltern
off .ers, and 7O4 men died of wounds,
while 463 officers and 1854 men wore
wounded ard presumably recovered.
The Losses caused by the enemy are
then small, being but little more than
I've per cent. of the total present duty.
The case is altered, however, in tho
the matter of disease: 318 officers and

While this number cannot be accurate

How Canada Feels Toward Us.
From the Montreal Star.

From the Montreal Star.
The crest war now impending has
almost - great IN interest for Cana
dams as though they were participants
In and not mere spectators of tue
struggle. There has been considerable
friction between our neighbors aad
ourselves, no ,ubt on account of the
very intimacy and free dom of our rela
tions. Brothers are perhaps more apt
to quarrel than strangers. but there is
seldom any bitterness in their Qusrre!s;
and there ia no nation under heaven that
we Britons would like to see whip the
United States, unless now and then un-
der great provocation we feel as though
we would not miId doing it ourselves.
In times Of peace and prosperity there
may be rivalries between US; there
ening and jibing, because we have
both got our share of fools; but in
national trial or misfortune the domin-
ant feeling among Britons is
that the two nations are one
people. Their blood, their
traditions, their history in great part,
their Characteristic virtues. and their
Characteristic faults, to large extent,
are all ours. Apart from the merits
of the quarrel between the United
States and Spain it is impossible that
men of British blood could ever v ish
to see the people of the United States
''fall into the hands of Spain" AM
err can diplomacy is rough ard it is
possible that the awful calamity of war
might have been averted by plomacy
of another order, but the end in view.
the termination of the reign of hor-
ror in Cuba, compels our sym
pathies. Soan's methods of colonial
government are not our methods.
Spsin's way of fighiiog is not our way,
and ell our sympathies will go with
the brave soldiers and sa lors of free
people lighting for the cause of human
ity aud struggling to extend the
bounds of freedom.
There is one more bond of union be
tween Great Britain and the United
tates in connection with this war.
"England" is more than geographic
cal expression; to the rest of the
world it is Synonymous with a type
of civilization that the aliens do not
