| to send along the list of casualties al
the earliest possible moment, the friend:
of the soldiers at Manila besieged the
/ war department yesterday by telegram
and word of mouth for information from
the scene Of the battle in the Philippines
| The list was long in coming. fact eX-
| planned by the cutting of the telegraph
| wires along the American front, which
prevented early reports from the di-
vision commanders. When General Otis
| casualty lists began to come over the
cables they were somewhat confusing,
probably due TO the fast that there are
nineteen different lines between Manila
and Washington. The immediate effect
was to cause some errors to be made
in the reported list of killed. After
great difficulty the officials of the war
department arranged the previous cas-
ualty lists into the following single list.
which is believed to be substantially ac-
curate and was made up as an official
substitute list for the prior lists:
