PHILIPPINE CASUALTIES.
Seattle Paper Publishes what Purports to
BE an Ohicial List of Our Dead
and Wounded.

Seattle, Wash, July 90. The Times
prints what purports to be a full list of
fatalities in the American army in the
Philippines up to June =. The list was
furnished by Fred f. 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 mum
Der of fatalities is 1855: % 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 ont of all proportion to the
number of privates killed. On the
other hand, fewer officers died from
disease proportionately than privates.
Out of the % officers dead, 10 were
killed in action, were drowned and
3 died of disease, as follows:
Typhoid, /; meningitis, .; rheuma-
tism of the heart. l.; paralysis, /. OF
the 800 privates, 294 died of wounds re-
ceived in action, . were killed acct

THE STRAIGHT OF IT
Houses VIII be Built at Gas
City as they are Needed.

Some days ago the REGISTER re-
ported rumor to the effect that a
contract had been made with Messrs.
Clark d Bates, the big lumber firm,
whereby they were to build fifty
houses at Gas City. The story was
printed for what 1t was worth, as
there was no opportunity to get ii au-
thoritatively affirmed or denied
Saturday, however, Mr.. Bates,
the junior mem Der of the firm referred
to, called at the REGISTER Office to
order this paper sent to Kansas City
address of the firm, and from him it
is learned that while no contract has
been made for the erection of fifty
houses, it is the intention of the firm
demand for them. They have bought
number of residence lots, and the
houses VIII be built whenever they
are demanded, and will be sold, If de-
sired, on monthly payments. This
assures as many houses i'm that thriv-
ing suburb as the population will re-
quire.
Mr.. Bates is the travelling auditor
for his firm, checking up the accounts
of their ten retail lumber yards, and
is very pleasant gentleman whom
the REGISTER is glad to have inter-
ested in lola.

Washington, July 31.-President Nc
Kinley will give reception to Admiral
Dewey at the white house when the
latter arrives in Washington. At first
he was in doubt whether reception
or dinner would be more appropriate,
but the former is likely to be decided

popular in character and would grant
to a multitude of people an opportunity
to meet the naval hero and shake hands

South Africa, the government appropri
alton of $5O,O0O,OOo is already exhaust
ed, and 'he treasury has been compelled
to issue eNclequer bills to meet current
liabilities. AT the same time charges
of inefficiency are being made against
the war department by the treasury of
ficials, and the military chiefs accuse
the civil branch of the government of
having for years pursued cheese-par-
ing policy which prevented Great Brit
ain from keeping pace with other Eu
ropean powers in the matter of quick
firing guns and other war equipments.
In proof of their charge the military
men declare that even the Beers are
provided with better guns than the
British artillery and that to this fact
alone must be attributed the defeats
at Dundee, Ladysmith and on the
Orange river.
That these thrusts and counter
thrusts will lead TO a complete reorgan-
ization of the British war office may be
taken for granted; for the Englishman,
Just like his American cousin, insists
upon having n scapegoat offered to his
wounded pride whenever the occasion

line of 4s,300, the army service corps Of
2,6o0, the rest being departmental. On
the same date the militia reserve con-
sisted of 10000 men, composed of the
pick of the militia.
The procedure in regard to calling
out the reserves is as follows: When,
in the opinion of the war office, mobi-
lization appears imminent, general
and other officers commanding at
home and abroad are duly notified to
give their time to carry out necessary
preliminary arrangements. Before ac-
tual mobilization takes place, the cabi-
net has, of course, arrived at de-
cision that the military forces of the
nation must be placed on war foot
ing. The cabinet has also decided
whether the circumstances are such
as to demand the calling out of the
whole or only part of the reserves.
The queen in council then, by procla-
nation, orders the reserve out for per-
manent service. The general and
other officers concerned then arrange
for the proclamation to be posted in
all public places. A railway and pas
sage warrant is at the same time sent
to each reservist, with notice to join;
and he is either, if pronounced phys
ically fit, drafted to his battalion to
complete it to war strength, or re-
mains at the depot for further dis
posal. For the purpose of facilitat-
ing the organization of reserve corps,
the United Kingdom is divided into
military district commands, as shown
in the accompanying map, the reserv-
lists reporting for duty at the nearest
district command.
Since the beginning of the South
African war two calls for reserves have
been issued, and it is probable that be-
fore long the entire force will have
to be put under arms. This is fore
shadowed by the action of the COM
missariat department, which is COM
pleting arrangements for supplies for
10000 troops and transport helpers,
and for $1,000 horses and mules, for a
period of four months. The supplies
ordered for the time mentioned in
clude 100000 pounds of preserved
meat, the same quantity of biscuit,
400,000pounds of coffee, 100000 pounds
VI hNt's "NNiVuO POhllhS Vi sugar, tuN,-
900 pounds of compressed vegetables,
100000 pounds of salt, 100000 pounds
of timed mixture of meat and vege-
tables, 100000 tins of condensed milk
and 1,45O,0O0 pounds of jam. The
liquid supplies include $4,000 gallons
of rum, 10000 bottles of whisky, 49,
900 bottles of port, 100000 pounds of
lime juice, so cons of alum for purify
ing water, There is in addition IA sup
ply of 1000 pounds of tobacco. For
the horses and mules $4,000 tons OF
hay, 31,000 tons of oats and 5000 tons
of bran are provided.
From all this it would appear that
the war department officials ut Lon
don are beginning to realize that the
promenade" to Pretoria is serious
outing and one that, no matter what
the ending, will add many millions to
the national debt, to say nothing of
the loss of thousands of precious lives.

to south.

Hastings, Mimi, Dec. 26.-Nearly
three blocks of buildings in the busi-
ness portion of the town, principally
fronting on Vermillion street, were
burned early Monday with loss of
about 100000. The fire broke out in
r. C. Libby & Co.'s sawmill, evidently
the work of an incendiary, and the
entire plant, with planning mill, store
houses, lumber, Office, sheds, ETC., was
consumed. One million and half feet
of upper grade lumber We're also
burned. A strong northwest wind was
blowing and the flames spread rap
idly TO st. Johns hotel, owned by
John Kleis, and the saloon of Kleis d.
Grub, both buildings being laid in
ashes. The flames then swept across
Second street and laid low business
houses for nearly block. The city
seeming in imminent danger, Mayor
Fred Busch wired the mayor of st. Paul
for aid, and as soon as possible two
steamers and supply wagons were sent
down, which materially aided in subdu-
ing the spread of the flames. Many
people are thrown out of employment
and others are rendered homeless.

THE LAWToN FUND.
the Sum of $5O,OOO-Of This About
$4,000 Has Been Raised.

New York, Dec. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Adjt.
Gen. Corbin estimates that the Law
ton fund, including subscriptions re-
ceived and pledged, amounts to $780,
600. 1t has been decided by the com
mittee having the @und in charge to
have the fund reach $4,000. 1t was
originally intended to only raise suf-
ficient sum to pay off the mortgage
on the Lawton homestead in Califor-
MIA, but it is now believed that the
people of the country will be willing
to contribute an amount which will
place Mrs. Lawton and her children
above want. In the mail Sunday Gen.
Corbin received $500 in checks and
cash, bringing the total amount thus
far actually received up to $4,000.
kilograms have also reached Gen. Cor
bin from prominent persons showing
that at least $4,000 more is assured,
and he is satisfied that no difficulty
will be experienced in bringing the
total up to $4,000. Among the new
contributors are William K. Wander
bilt, $1,000; j. Pierpont Morgan, ST.
600; C. p. Huntington, $1,000; Thomas
L. Ryan, of New York, $1,000, and
Helen Gould, $500. 1t is the eXpecta-
tion of members of the committee that
ten subscriptions will be received
amounting to $1,000 each. Secretary
Root and Adit. Gen. Corbin sent per-
sonal appeals to $50 residents of New
York. all of whom have signified their
intention of making contributions.
Thus far the contributions from the
west have been comparatively small,
but this is due to the distance. No
doubt is expressed that the mail from,
western points, where Gen. Lawton
was well known, in few days will
bring contributions which will rapid
ly increase the fund to the desired
amount.
