Such is the detail of the casualties since
the landing of the first troops at Cavite,
June 80, 1898.
Although the volunteers fought with
desperation and determination and
everywhere drove the enemy before
them and generally had the points of
severest contact, the volunteer loss in
killed and MORALLY wounded was 237
against 14S of the regulars. Of the for
mer $50 died of sickness and of the lat
ter 95.
The Fourteenth regulars were the
heaviest losers in the battles, 90 being
killed. Then follow the Nebraskas
with IS, Kansas with 25; South Dakota
rs; Washington and the Third artillery,
10 each; Oregon, IA; Pennsylvania, 10;
Eighteenth infantry, 10; Montana, IL,
and the Twenty-second infantry Q.
The wounded were: Nebraska, 1872;
Montana, 1872; Kansas, 1924; Washing
ton, 100; Third artillery, 90; South Da-
kota, 81; Minnesota, 80; Oregon, rs;
Pennsylvania, 60; Twenty-second in
fantry, 81, and California, Sc.
The losses are singularly small, either
from bullets or sickness, when reduced
to percentage basis, and the contrast
| is remarkable when compared with the
losses in the civil war. The Philippine
regiments are about 1900 strong, while
a regimental strength during the re-
o. 4
cept when diminished by losses and not
recruited.
| The record of the late war between
the north and the south shows the most
terrific fighting that ever occurred
and proves to the world that the Ameri-
can is the worst or most successful
fighter the world has ever seen. In
single engagements, or, in fact, in
spaces of from five minutes to an hour,
whole bodies of soldiers were killed
without n murmur from the mems
companions or the country.
Single battle records show that in
proportion to the number engaged the
greatest loss of any regiment was that
of the First Minnesota at Gettysburg.
The union lines had been broken and
Gen. Hancock ordered the regiment to
tale the advancing rebels colors. They
succeeded and saved the day. Five min
utes' time was needed for reinforce
| ments and the regiment, numbering
only 262, charged, filled the gap and
the time at cost of so killed and ia

Edible Birds, NesfS

The nests of the little swift Ia kind of
swallow, gathered along the rocky
cliffs with SO much difficulty, and yet
in such quantities on account of the
Chinese demand, are formed of a
salivary secretion which soon becomes
firm on exposure to the air. 1t is a
glutinous white substance with little
red dots. They are clean, the nests be.
ing taken as soon as completed. The
little swift, being repeatedly robbed, is
at last compelled to exc out its waning
supply of secretion with little sticks
and grass, and Is thus enabled to lay its
eggs and hatch its young, as only nests

ment stands the First Minnesota with
a percentage of 80, the number en-
gagged being 262. 1t was at Gettysburg.
The significance of these losses will
become more clear if they are compared
to some battle that is famed in song
or verse. The light brigade at Bal
aklava, the charge of the Six Hun
dred," charged 673 strong and lost lib
killed, 1874 wounded and missing, or
only 36.7 per cent. The heaviest loss
in the German army during the Franco
Prussian war was to the Sixteenth in
fant2y at Mars La Tour. 1t went into
action with 5000 men and lost 500
killed, 619 wounded and 365 missing;
total, 1884, or 49.4 per cent. The
Garde- Schutzen battalion, 1000 strong.
lost at Metz in killed, wounded and
missing 461, or 46.1 per cent.
From sickness in the Philippines the
Minnesotas were the heaviest losers,
"a dying. Oregon is next with "a deaths
and Nebraska third with 81. Nevada
lost from sickness. the only one from
all causes for that state. The sick roll
has averaged throughout the campaign
at IL per cent. 1t started with Gen.
Anderson at Cavite at 30 per cent, but
in two months by sanitary measures
he reduced it to 5 per cent. Many cases
are for only day or two.
The rebellion records of the war de-
partment show 11O,070 killed and NOR
tally wounded and 275,175 wounded
who did not die.
Deaths from disease, exclusive of
sunstrokes, suicides, accidents, drown
ing, executions, murders, in prison, and
other causes, were 1922 or sc per
cent. From all causes, including killed.
359,52s died, or 1874 per cent. Deduct
ing the 11O,070 killed the deaths from
sickness and other causes were 249,45S.
or over double the killed. The daily
sick rate averaged about 25 per cent.
At Kenesaw mountain Sherman's en-
tire army was sick. The surgeons

and Sherman was advised to abandon
the march to the sea. He was unable
to move for several days. which he oc-
cupied in thinking over the problem
1t was solved by the rebels, who UNI
expectedly withdrew. Sherman's NE
was about 20 miles long and the field
had grown up with blackberries. The
men ate them and were cured, and the
march was continued.

" country's soldiers are reaching

of their contest in the Philippines.
They have fought well against the en-
envy and grateful country pays them
tribute for their patriotism. The for
tunes of war have crowned some or
CARNATIONS with imperishable glory,
while others, through lack of oppor-
tunity, have done little to distinguish
themselves. They were simply not in
the positions where they had the same
chance to fight that had Funston's Kan
sans, the Nebraskans, the Oregons, and
some others. Their places are being
taken by the regulars and the volun-
teers enlisting under the regular army
rules, and the citizen soldiery will soon
dispense to gladden. individual homes
and to awaken sorrow in other homes to
