fatalities is 1856; % officers, $50 pri-
Yates and IA civilians, attached to the

record is found in the statement that
the number of officers killed in battle
is out of all proportion to the num-
Der of privates killed. On the other
hand, fewer officers died from disease
proportionately than privates. Out
of the % officers dead, 16 were killed in
action, two were drowned and five died

TRADE REVIEW.

New York, July 29.-Bradstreet's says:
weather conditions exercise their natur-
all effect upon the volume of current
business, which is, however, larger than
year ago, and restrict speculation.
therefore limiting the volume of bank
clearings, without, however, exercising
any particular influence upon prices,
which display nearly all their old firmness
and, in fact show still further advances
m several lines. Special activity in the
iron and steel industry is reported at Chi
cago, where heavy advances have been
made in finished products, and numerous
shipments are reported not only to Ohio
and Pennsylvania. but as far east as Bos-
ton. Every blast furnace in the Birmins-
ham district is expected to be In operation
by the advent of autumn, but the produc-
ton for the latter part Of the year 1892
which promises to be enormous, has all
been booked. The glass trade is reported
particularly active and conditions in that
industry are said to be the best for years
past. The cereal markets note little
change in price. but trade opinion seems to
favor steady demand and few huctua tons,
in view of admittedly large necessary TAX
ings by foreigners. Liberal rains at the
south, particularly in the Atlantic coast
states, have improved cotton prospects,
and slight shading in price is to be noted
for the week"

CALAMRs CAPTURED.
Gen. Hall, with 200 Men, Takes an
Important Town on Laguna
de Bay.

Manila, July 2S.-Brig. Gen. r. H.
Hall, with 1000 men, has captured
Calamba on Laguna de Bay. The loss
to the United States forces was four
killed and IL wounded.
After the fight dozen men holding
up their hands and shouting "Castil-
lanos," met the American. cavalry.
Even Spanish soldiers embraced the
Americans Historically. There were so
Spanish prisoners at Calamba, of whom
some were civil officials and some were
soldiers. They had been given the
choice of joining the Filipino army or
becoming servants to Filipinos, and
chose the army, intending to surrender
at the first opportunity. Most of the
civilians reached the American lines
during the fighting, but the insurgents
took others away with them in their re-
treat.
Thursday Gen. Hall brought to Ma
Mia the Spaniards whom the expedition
had released from captivity of more
than year.
The force comprised 400 of the Wash
ington volunteers, $50 of the Twenty
first infantry; $50 of the Fourth cav
airy, and two guns of the First artil-
lery.
Calamba is a town on Laguna de
Bay about 80 miles southeast of Ma
Mia. 1t is much farther south than
the United States troops have yet pen
etrated on land. 1t is in the province
of Laguna. 1t has population of
11.476, and is 81 miles from Santa Cruz
on the eastern shore of the bay. Its
capture is not considered of any STRAIT
egical Importance, except as a part
of the plan to harass and worry the
insurgents.
