PHILIPPINE CASUALTIES.


Seattle, WASH, July 29.-The Times
prints what purports to be full list Of
fatalities in the American army in the
Philippines up to June 2. The list was
furnished by Fred +. Eitell, a repre-
sentative Of the Manila Freedom,
who claims to have obtained it from
the records in the surgeon gener-
ais Office at Manila. The total num-
Der Of fatalities is 1856; % officers, 500
privates and IA civilians attached
to the army. A remarkable feature
Of the record is found in the statement
that the number 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 proportionately than privates.
Out of the 23 officers dead, Ii were
killed in action, were drowned and
3 died of disease, as follows:
Typhoid, /; meningitis, 2; rheuma-
tism of the heart, /; paralysis, |. OF
the 500 privates, 294 died of wounds re-
ceived in action, were killed acct
23 were drowned, COM
mitted suicide, 1906 died of typhoid
fever, 80 Of smallpox, ~ Of dysentery,
9s of pneumonia, 10 Of malarial fever
and IA of meningitis. The remaining
II died Of various diseases.

PAPER CURRENCY SCARCE.
The Federal Treasury, However, Is Unable
to Relieve the Present Stringency--
Cause Assigned for the scarcity.

Washington, July 20.-Complaints
are being received at the treasury de-
partment Of scarcity of paper cur
rency in many sections of the country,
particularly in the eastern states.
Such Is the character of the currency
held by the treasury, however, that
practically nothing can be done to re-
lieve the stringency. The treasury
holdings Of paper money are NO larger
than are required for current bust
ness. 1t is the policy to pay out
currency as far as possible and
keep il in circulation, retaining coins
in the vaults. The effect of this is
shown by the fact that the net gold
balance Of the treasury is more than
s246, OOO,O 900. Treasury officials say this
shortage of currency is the result Of
general prosperity, the money being
in the hands Of the people to greater
extent than for many years before.
The payment Of interest or canceling
Of mortgages on western farm proper
ty shifted large amount Of money
from the west to the east for several
years, but now the money paid for
farm products is staying in the west,
and the banks in the large cities, and
especially in the east, feel the effects
Of the drain on their current holdings.

SUES FOR BIG DAMAGES.
A Kansas Woman Wants $4,000 from the
Western Union Telegraph Company for
the Death Of Two Children.

Wichita, Kan, July 20.--In the dis
trict court here Mrs. E. L. Leavitt, a
milliner Of Esbon, brought suit against
the Western Union Telegraph company
for $4,000, alleging that the company,
through gross carelessness in the non
delivery of message, is directly re-
sponsible for the death of two OF
her children and for injuries to her.
self from which she has been an in.
valid for nearly two years. She says
that while on her way from Esbon to
Ponca City, Ok, in September, 1897,
her son, Earl Leavitt, aged nine, be-
came Ill at Arkansas City. She tele-
graphed to Ponca City liveryman to
meet her at the station with a carriage.
The Western Union clerk at Ponca City
put the message in an envelope ad-
dressed to Mrs. Leavitt instead Of TO the
cabman and 1t was never delivered. In
the time Mrs. Leavitt was compelled to
wait In the Ponca City depot the boy
was seized with violent fit of cough
ing and died In his mothers arms.
Bertha Leavitt, a daughter ~ years
old, was sent out for carriage and re-
ceived nervous shock from overhead,
1t is alleged, and she died April "a, 1893.

VIOLATE NEUTRALITY LAWS.


Washington, July 29.-According to
verbal reports to the navy from officers
returning from the Philippines, Aguin-
aldo continues to get war supplies
through German merchants in Hong
Kong and japanese merchants in
Yokohama, although our consuls
have been directed to keep sharp
lookout for filibustering. In more
than one instance British officers have
aided the United States in preventing
the shipment of arms from Hong Kong,
but officers just returned say there is
no doubt the temptation offered by
Aguinaldo's high prices has induced
merchants to violate the neutrality laws
and try to force the imperfect block
ade. Twelve Spanish gunboats recent
ly put on blockade duty have done re-
markably good service in cutting off
supplies between different islands.
Last mail reports. said they had cap
tured IS different cargoes Of supplies,
but not any valuable munitions Of war.
