The United States Government has re-

foreign power upon the successful rermi-
nation of the war with Spain. The con-

A THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS.
That Is About What the War Will Cost
the United States.

the United States.
The evidence on every hand that the
war is about at an end has aroused the
mathematicians. They are now engaged
in demonstrating what the cost of the
whole war will have been to the Govern
ment, when the last volunteer soldier is
at home, the last penny of war bond in
teccst paid. the last pension awarded.
This calculation is of course far-reaching.
Fairly accurate estimates of the extraor-
dinary expenses of the army and navy
during March, April, May, June, July and
August gave them as S150,000, 900, Of
which about $105, 100000 was expended
between April % and Aug 6, and S123,
100000 between April l and Aug. 6. The
latest calculation, based upon treasury re-
ports and comparisons with similar ex-
penses during the civil war, calculates the
war expenses from April /, 1898, to April
l, 1899, at which time it is assumed all
extraordinary expenses will have ended,
and adds thereto interest and pension
charges growing out of the war and an
arbitrary estimate of the value of the
labor lost by volunteers entering the army.
According to this calculation the war will
eventually have cost the United States
O0,OO0.0O0. Here is a table of esti-
mates of war expenses:
