The American Losses.

&&S Se<~~S - $SSSN> .sSsS'
Seattle, Wash, July 20 The
Times prints what purports to be a
full list of fatalities in the American
army in the Philippines up to June
2. The list was furnished by Fred
F. Eitell, a representative of The
Manila Freedom, who claims to have
obtained it from the records Of the
surgeon generals office at Manila.
The total number of fatalities is
1873 officers, 600 privates and -
civilians attached to the army. A
remarkable feature of the record is
found in the statement that the num-
Der of officers killed in battle is out
OF all proportion to the number OF
privates killed. On the other hand,
fewer officers died from disease pro-
portiontionately than privates. Out
of the % officers, 1G were killed in
action, 2 were drowned and 5 died OF
disease. Of the 800 privates, 294
died of wounds received in action; 8
were killed accidentally; % were
drowned and Z committed suicide;
1O6 died of typhoid fever; SO Of
smallpox; Al of dysentery; 2S of
pneumonia; l9 of malarial fever, and
IA of meningitis. The remainder
died from various diseases. OF the
Is deaths among civilians, 7 were
from smallpox and 3 from gunshot
wounds receivad in action.

Rings on Index Finger.

Rings never were more fashionable and it is the latest fashion to wear ring on the index finger, and this is quite as awkward as wearing a clrelet of jewels on the thumb. The ring most approved at present to wear on the index finger is large and costly It consists of a ruby surrounded with diamonds. An emerald set in this same fashion is also in vogue. Wom- en of fashion are also wearing curious ancient rings, many of which cover three fingers, after the style or MrS Mackey and her $27,G0o ring.

''LRF THE WHOLE IRISH BRIGADE CHARGE" 1745, Marshal de Saxe. commander of the French army, opened trenches be- fore Tournay, Holland. This place was very strongly fortified and defended by Dutch garrison of 9000 men, and SaXe appeared before it with an army of 60000 men. The allies determined to raise the siege. and the Duke of Cumberland, son of George 1 of Eng land, took command of the allied forces English, Dutch, Hanoverian and Austrian-numbering 56,000 of the fin est troops in Europe.
 On May II, after severe firing of ar tillery on both sides from , in the morning till g. the allies prepared to Dutch and Austrians were on the enc my's left, opposite the French right, and destined to carry Antoine, the Eng fish and Hanoverians in the center, with their infantry in front and cav airy in the rear, close by the wood of Barri
 The three divisions moved, greater success attending the center. At the head of 15,000 the Duke of Cumber- land, accompanied by 20 pieces of can non, forced his way into the French center. "There was one dreadful hour, :" says the Marquis d'Argenson, 'in which we expected nothing less than a renewal of Dettingen, our men being awed by the steadiness of the enemy. Then it was that we began to despair of our cause.7
 Meanwhile the Duke de Richelieu, having proposed to reconnoiter the formidable column, met with Colonel Lally, impatient that the devotion of the Irish brigade was not turned to account, " and who, with due presence of mind to perceive, unlike others, that the unchecked progress of the column, since it had got beyond the artillery of the redoubt and village into the midst of the French, was greatly owing to its employment of cannon as we'll as musketry.
 Lally suggested to Richelieu that cannon be used with the French mus ketry "This battle" says the French historian Michelet. was lost without remedy if the Irishman Lally, animat- ed by his hatred against the English, had not proposed to break their col umn with cannon" As an "adroit courier" continues Michelet the duke appropriated to himself the idea and the glory of it's success"
 This move of the French proved of advantage for some time. but Sake found that his batteries at Fontenoy had used all their balls and were only answering the enemy with discharges of powder. He believed the battle to be lost and sent several times to Louis XIV, entreating him to leave the field, but the king refused to do so. Marshal Sake was now in mortal anxiety and thought the battle really lost when the Duke of Richelieu rode up and men toned that the Irish brigade could be spared from where they were, and why not have them charge the enemy ? Sake, riding to where Louis stood viewing the battle, again advised him to fly, but Louis addressed his general thus, "Can anything be done to pre- serve the honor of FranceT' Sake an swered: "Yes, my liege. There is q gallant, intrepid band, the Irish bri- gade, upon which my hopes rest"
 Summoning Count Dillon, Sake said: "Dillon, let the whole Irish brigade chargel To you commit it's conduct.

SHRINE SHoRN OF JEWELs.-A dis
patch from Santiago de Cuba says the
startling discovery was made on Sat
lrday that the famous shrine of Nues-
ira Sonora Carload, at Ell Cobre, had
been robbed OF jewels valued at $25, 900
and that the head Of the statue had
been broken off and removed. The re-
port caused great excitement in the
town, where the shrine has long been
the principal attraction. Its supposed
to have miraculous healing powers. and
is visited annually by thousands of pill
grims from all parts of Cuba, from
Mexico, and even from Europe, who
have loaded the image with rich gifts,
The secret police are making great
efforts to discover the perpetrator OF
the outrage. It is asserted that an
American will be arrested tomorrow on
charge OF being the criminal, and the
police hope to recover the jewels.
