AMERICAN TROOPS KILLED.

General Otis.
On the basis of reports of casualties so
far received from General Otis the War
Department officials agree that the fight
between the American and Filipino forces
on Saturday and Sunday must have been
terrific affair
Two kilograms received from General
Otis show that in ten organizations there
have been thirty-seven fatalities, but the
officials believe that subsequent reports
will show heavier loss of life as the
casualty list of some of the regiments
known TO have been engaged, notably the
First Nebraska, which according to the ac-
counts of the battle. lost several men, We're
not contained in either of the dispatches
| of General Otis. Owing to an error in
punctuation the list of casualties made IL
appear that the Fourteenth Regular In
fantry had lost heavily in killed, when the
men named should have been marked as
wounded. This was corrected later and the
War Department then gave out the fol-
lowing totals of casualties made up from
the official reports:
officers killed, g. enlisted men killed. 80:
enlisted men missing and possibly dead, =.
Total killed, 81.
officers wounded. 3; enlisted men wound
ed, 3S. Total wounded, Il.
Total killed, 81; total wounded, IL. Total
casualties, rs.
The proportion of wounded to killed is
so small, however, that the military au-
thorities are satisfied that the figures will
be greatly increased in the regiments of
which casualty lists have not been re-
ceived. Adjutant General Corbin says that
one killed TO three wounded is a fair pro-
portion of casualties, and If this estimate
is carried out in subsequent reports the
wounded for the regiments about which
returns have not been received will num-
| Der nearly 400, granting that the full death
| list has been obtained.
