DEATHS In WARFARE
Disease Claims More Victims Than
the Enemy's Bullets.
Remarkably Small Number Of Casu-
alties In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS War
During Actual Fighting-Com-
parison with Other Wars.

A special to the New York Tribune
from Washington says: The list OF
casualties in the army during the
war with Spain has not yet been care
fully compiled and in fact cannot be
completed for months to come. be-
cause included in il must be the deaths
from disease in camp and hospital,
which will far outnumber those from
the bullets of the enemy. The pro-
portion of deaths from disease will
probably be larger than in the civil
war.
In 1885 an effort was made to as
certain what that proportion was. II
resulted in showing that the aggre-
gate number of deaths among the
union troops was 359.52s. The num-
Der of officers and men killed in ac-
ton was 67.o5s, and the number who
died from wounds received in action
was 43.012, making total of 10000,
or a fraction over 80 per cent. of the
aggregate. 1t appeared that 224,5S6
officers and men, or more than 62 per
cent, died of disease. The remainder
of the deaths were due TO various
causes. No fewer than LOG officers and
4.s3S men were drowned. while ZAP Off
GERS and 3.972 men died from accidental
causes other than drowning.
According TO official and semiofficial
reports, which are still subject to re-
vision and correction. the number OF
officers and men of the army killed in
action since the outbreak Of hostili
ties against Spain has been 2S2 and the
number wounded 1,496, making a total
Of 1,77S. II is probable that additions
will be made to the list of killed by
subsequent reports. OF course, most
of the casualties occurred in the fight
ing around Santiago, but even there
the number was not excessively large
considering the stubbornness of the
defense and the fact that infantry, not
backed by a sufficient amount of ar
tillery, was led against the enemy who
was strongly entrenched. Most of the
fighting was with small arms and few
men in the American army, at least,
were killed or wounded by shells.
The Spanish troops generally were
armed with the Mauser rifles, a weapon
of long range. They used smokeless
powder and had the advantage of posi-
tion and local knowledge, and made
the most of them. According to all
theory, the mortality among the
American troops ought TO have been
much heavier. In fact one might have
supposed that superiority of weapons
alone, as compared with those used by
infantry 100 years ago or even SIS years
ago, would have produced the result.
