from the people. But these facts are
not denied:
!. The war has now lasted for 100
DAYS, or 25 days longer than our war
with Spain. We hold, after this period,
less of the territory than Spain occu-
pied and less than We held ia August Of
last year. The rebel forces are now
more troublesome" than at any former
time.
.. The war has cost nearly zoo men
killed. $500 wounded. 10000 invalidatod.
Ii has cost SC3,0Oo,O0O in money. and is
costing nearly 100000 a day. Our
losses in the fighting in Cuba which re-
suited in the surrender OF Santiago and
the end Of the war with Spain were
about $50 killed and 800 wounded. Our
losses in Porto Rico were three killed
and 40 wounded.
,. There have been sent TO Gen. Otis
$4,000 men. Some $500 more are under
sailing orders. The president has de-
cided, il is said, quietly to enlist the 35.-
600 volunteers he was authorized by
congress 10 add TO the army for tenn
porary use.
4. According to the best expert tes-
timony ID will take from 100000 To $780,
900 troops TO subdue the Filipinos and
hold the principal points in the islands.
8. The rainy season will soon put an
end to campaigning. Fifty per cent.

sickness and the territory overrun will
have TO be abandoned; Manila will be in

FOUND BOTH GUILTY
Justice Potts Thinks Both Parties
Are Equally at Fault:

An alleged assault committed on Marcn
% last, the result of a feud between long
ouarreiing ne.ghbors, occupied the atten-
ton of Judge Potts for over an hour III
the Second Criminal Court this morning,
and gave opportunity for several out
bursts of legal oratory. The decision OF
the Court, the only one the case merit
ed. was the finding of both complainant
and, defendant guilty.
The complainant was Christian Spech,
an employe of Charles Bergerhoff, an
egg dealer of West Side avenue and Full
ton street, Greenville, who accused Mrs.
Helen Gedensky, who used the lots ad-
joining his employers place for pasturing
purposes, of having assaulted him.
On the day in question Speech went over
to Mrs. Gedensky's place to bring back
two of his employers horses that had
Gedensky's children pelting them with
stones and was chasing them away when
Mrs Gedensky appeared ana chased
him. Counselor James Manning repre-
sented Speech and Robert Carey appeared
for the defendant.
The testimony disclosed ill-feeling on
both sides, with each party apparently
waiting to vent spite on the other. Judge
Potts found both guilty. This incensed
Lawyer Manning, at whose request the
case was re-opened. After additional evi-
dence had been put in the Court again
found both parties guilty and suspended
sentence on payment of costs.

VICTOR WAS A FAKE
Wife He Declared He Had
Murdered Found Alive
in New York.

That very very bad man, Martin Vic
tor, self-declared wife murderer and
would-be suicide, was not much surprised
today when he was allowed to go scot
free from the Yorkville prison. He will,
perhaps, even chuckle over the fact that
he FOOLED good many persons, the police
included.
Sadie Victor, his young wife,is not dead,
but performs menial labor for her own
support. She was a servant in Halls Ho-
tel, at Chambers street and Park Row.
Now she is restored, temporarily ut least,
to the bosom of her family, her mother,
sisters and brother, in Newark.
Victor married Sadie, his wife, in 1897.
He was seventeen and she was sixteen
years of age. The marriage was kept
secret for time. He could not support
her and one day she disappeared. Her
mother, Mrs Sadie Cohen, accused him
Of being responsible for this fact, and he
humored her and himself by saying that
he had killed her and had cut up her
body after the manner of Martin Thorn.
Then he closed his lips over a gas jet
and turned on the gas. He was rescued
and then went to the police and repeated
his confession" His arrest followed.
