j Thousand men are to be brought home
by these ships, including large inva-
lided Est.
The wounded in operations Of the
pas: months have numbered i, ILL and
.ae killed 1913, but the humber who
have died from wounds, as well as
from disease, has not yet been COM
piled in accurate form. It is, how
ever, known that the list Of deaths
from disease far outnumber those
from wounds, and that the number Of
men succumbing to injuries is COM
! paratively light. The surgeons here
estimated that not one-twentieth Of
the wounded die. The figures, how
ever, Of the killed and wounded, as
com mpared to the losses of the enemy,
is regarded by military men as very
small, and for every American wound
ed and killed tits believed there have
been a dozen Filipinos.
The sum required to pay the troops
at Manila is very large item in the
total cost Of maintaining the army.
The paymasters, as rule, have been
chosen from the volunteer service.
The salaries of these officers, and the
expense Of the clerical hire to assist
in the payment Of troops, is estimated
by the paymaster-general to have been
far larger than has been supposed, but
SO intricate is the system that no one
has any idea what. this particular
branch Of work alone has cost the
country. Government transports have
carried the gold and silver to Manila,
otherwise the expense charges would
have further increased the expense Of
paying troops.
There has been no difficulty from
the time troops we're FIRST ordered to
Manila in keeping them fully equipped
with arms and ammunition and sup
piled with quartermaster's and COM
missaries supplies. With Manilaas
q genera! depot and distributing point
for the army, the troops. have never
lacked either for wholesome food, it is
said, or clothing andmedical supplies.
The mistakes and the mismanagement
which caused suffering to thousands
in the Santiago campaign have been
avoided and the result has been to.
elicit commendation for the manner in.
which both quartermaster and com

HOW THEY RUN GOVERNMENT.

A quaint little experience once

the way they run governments in Cen

a small garrison town in the coffee
belt on some business and found the
commandant in state bordering on

and he told me his tale of woe between
! courses. His soldiers, it seemed had
| been without pay for over three
| months, and as the government made
no effort to provide them with rations

and coffee furnished on credit by the
old women of the village. Naturally,
the credit had worn itself out. and two
days before | arrived all the old wo-
men went on a strike, since which
time the garrison had been practically
without food Needless to say, the
soldiers we're desperate and they had
determined to desert en- bloc and go
back to their homes.

graph the facts Immediately to the
president, and at last he screwed up
enough courage to send the message
As soon as it was received the presi-
dent sent word 20 a wealthy planter
requesting him 10 dispatch some
cash instanter to the commandant.
The planter gave the messenger a 800
bill and rushed him off on horseback
for the village. which he reached at
daybreak the next morning When
the poor commandant saw the remit

under the circumstances 500 was
