The Engagement ut Santiago.

General Skaters official report of the
recent engagement at Santiago shows
that tho fatalities on tho American sido
wore numerically much loss than tho
dispatches received at tho time seemed
to indicate.
AS the result of tho protraotcd intor-
change Of shots which lasted through
two entire days, thoro woro only twenty
two officers and two hundred enlisted
mon killed on tho American eide; while
it appears, from tho best information
which has como to hand, that III tho
Spanish side there wore not less thnn
sixty officers and eight hundred men
killed. Of course, it is altogether ont
of tho question at this timo to form any
positive idea of the number Of officers
and mon killed on tho Spanish sidc,
and perhaps tho exact figures may mover
DO known; but there is good reason to
believe that the Spaniards suffered much
moro disastrously from tho engagement
than did tho Americans.
With respect to the number of Ameri-
cans wounded at Santiago, tho figures
givcn in General Shaftcr's official report
moro closely approximate tho estimates
contained in tho dispatches. This num-
Dor is fixed at 1,2S4 officers and mon :;
and in consideration of the fact that
there wcrc only some 10000 Americans
engaged in tho fight, it is evident that
the carnage must have been terrific
Still, it is given out on what appears to
be good authority, although it docs not
como from general Shaftcr direct, that
most of the wounded Americans are do
ing well, some of them having received
only slight injuries.
This leads us to obsrvc that medical
sccncc as applied to the cxigcncies of
military engagements has made consid-
cradle progress since the lato war be-
tween the States, and that little cause
for apprehension exist on this score
Thoroughly competent surgeons arc an
ncXcd to each regiment, and there is no
lack Of adequate hospital facilities,
although necessities only arc supplied
by the government. With tho experience
which this country underwent in the
treatment of wounded soldiers in tho late
war between the States and with the i'm
proved methods which arc now in vogue
for nursing wounded soldiers back to
life, it is safe to predict that the number
Of fatalities in the present war resulting
from tho lack of adequate hospital facili.
ties will he comparatively small. In adj
dition to the provisions which tho gov
crnmcnt itself has made in this direction
increased efficiency has been given to
the work Of taking caro- Of wounded
soldiers by the substantial help which
has come from relief org lniz;.tions.
So, everything considered, it is likely
will be restricted mainly TO those who
are killed outright upon the field Of bat
