Here is q total of 279 killed and
1923 wounded in war which resulted
in the destruction of the Spanish
Navy, in the freeing of Cuba the
cession of Porto Rico and the capture
of Manila. The losses on the Union
side at Gettyburg alone were 1910
killed and IA, 497 wounded. In the
twelve great battles of the Civil War
the Union losses were %, 46S killed
and 1905 wounded. No war has
ever produced such important and far
reaching results with so small loss
of life as has our war with Spain, OBJ
serves the New York World.

permit at this time the consideration of
applications for discharges of men serV-
ing in the Philippine islands, Honolulu,
Cuba or Porto Rico. The reasons for
this are obvious. Aside from the ques-
tion of transportation involved and the
necessity of supplying the places of men
who are to be discharged with others
from the states, it is to be remembered
that the war is not over, and that mucn
depends upon the results and delibera-
tions of the peace commissioners VINO
have sailed for Paris.

which illustrates the alacrlty with
which the average American citizen
haStenS to his senator ur representa-
tive in congress for aid in emergencies
The cessation of hostilities and the i'm
probability II their renewal with the
iuIlnrss OF camp life. have apparently
created a feeling of restIrssness among
the men of the volunteer army, who, in
the majority of cases. have given up
positions of larger compensation, and
many of them are imploring their po-
litical representatives to obtain their
discharges, and the latter in turn ar"
flooding the war department with re
quests for prompt and immediate ac-

Washington, Sept. 20.-The advance
and eventually for Manila started Sun
day. when the Abarena sailed from
Fortress Monroe via Brazil. The Abar-
enda is one of four collers which are to
keep the Oregon and Iowa supplied with
coal on their long voyage around South
America The plan is to have two of the
collers precede the battleships and two
to go along with them. In addition to
these escorting craft, the Celtic and the
Iris will be added to the expedition. The
Celtic is refrigerator and supply ship.
and the Iris is a distiling ship. Such a
perfectly equipped expedition never
sailed under any flag. With their large
reserve supply of coal, with an abun-
dance of refrigerated meats and vege-
tables, with appliances and plant for
making repairs to machinery, and finally
with an abundance of fresh water, the
squadron will be able to keep the seas
for an indefinite period of time.
1t was stated at the quartermaster
generals office that the returning trans
ports which have been to Manila on one
trip will be used to take the troops now
in San Francisco to the Philippines
TWO of these steamers, which will ac-
Commodate half the command, are ex-
pected to arrive in day or two. Other
steamers now on their way will be sent
back as soon as loaded with troops.
Four steamers will be sufficient for the
transportation of the troops and sup
plies. 1t is believed that less time
will be consumed by using these trans
ports than in fitting up new vessels.
London, Sept 20.-The Times this
morning publishes letter from a Ha-
Vana correspondent, in which the writer
points out that, though there appears
no disposition among the Spaniards in
Cuba to attempt a pronunciamento,
the soldiers and civilians alike having
accepted the disaster and its conse-
quences with a dreary fatalistic calm,
the island is fast drifting into a condi-
tion of anarchy.
Insurgent bands, the correspondent
says, are enjoying immunity in the
commission of Outrages and plunderng,
and this is especially true in the western
provinces, where the insurgents bitterly
complain that they have been ignored
and abandoned by the United States.
Being left utterly destitute, they can
only save themselves from starvation
by rapine. without food, medicine and
clothing, they are dying like flies, and
unfortunately it is the best element
among the insurgents that are suffering
the most severely.
