produce pessimists?" We should say of
hand, yes Fact is, the real and most
obstructive pessimists of the age, they
who take the glooniest views of the
times come out of our higher institu-
tons of learning, while the hopeful, the
battling, the courageous and optimistic
folk of the day are for most part those
who deal least in theories, and have
had least opportunity in the higher
scholastic accomplishments. BY the way,

The full measure Of the humanity Of
Aguinaldo will now be taken to his own
order. He has boosted SO persistently
of his honor and manliness, and has so
steadily disproved his words by his
acts. that no. confidence is to be re-
posed in the fellow He has a large
body of Spanish prisoners in his hands.
He has been repeatedly besought to re-
lease them, but he refuses, and carts
them about from camp to camp and
place to place. The men are, in conse-
quenee, suffering fearfully. Aguinaldo
is not now at war with Spain. His
score with that country is no longer
under settlement. Dominion has passed
out of Spain in the Philippines. To
hold her people as prisoners, therefore,
cannot do US any harm. 1t can only
punish a helpless people whose ability
to injure the Fflipinos has departed
forever His refusal to release these
prisoners cannot be held to be in line
with acts of war with US. 1t is no part
Of a campaign against American forces.
At this juncture General Otis turns over
to the representatives of Spain 1,500
Filipino prisoners, for the purpose Of
effecting exchanges for the, Spanish
held by Aguinaldo. The fellow is now
in corner. He is told that reply to
the offer to exchange must be immedi-
ately forthcoming; that if it is not, and
his answer is not insthe affirmative, he
will be held up to the loathing of the
world and be- considered no better than
bastard and an outlaw. Ten to one
that he refuses the exchange Aguin
aldo is out after coin; he would release
the prisoners in a twinkling if a heavy
cash ransom were forwarded for his
| itching palm.

OUR LOSSES IN WAR.

When the statistics of wars in which
we have been engaged are studied. it
is found that our losses in the war with
Spain and in the conflict with the Fill
plnos are comparatively small In sew
eral single battles in the war of the
| rebellion there were more Union sol
diers killed and wounded than in the
entire campaign against Spain and the
insurgents in Luzon- The improve
ments in guns and ammunition, giving
greater propulsion and effectiveness at
longer range, do not seem to have aug
mented the casualties. In fact, the
percentage of loss in battle has de-
creased under modern improvement
in firearms M
AT the battle of Bunker Hill the Brit
per cent, and at Waterloo, 81 per cent.
The loss to the Union army at Gettys
burg was % per cent; at Chickamauga,
% per cent; Cold Harbor, 33 per cent:
Shiloh, 30, and at Stone River, 81 per
cent. Harrow's brigade at Gettysburg
lost 81 per cent, and only a small pro-
portion was wounded. Hancock's di-
vision, in charging Marye's Hill in 1867,
lost $500 out Of 5000 men. The First
Maine Heavy Artillery. in the charge at
Petersburg, in 1864, lost $50 killed ana
wounded out of 900 But since August
last out of $4,000 troops sent to the
Philippines we have lost not exceeding
$50 killed and roo wounded, exclusive
of deaths from natural causes
One of the reasons advanced for the
decrease of losses in battle is the aban
donment Of the old close-order system.
Nowadays we fight in small detach-
ments, pretty we'll separated, and the
| fighting is done under the more imrne-
date direction of subordinate officers
than formerly. AS is pointed out by the
Portland "Oregonian,' had we charged
on San Juan Hill in compact masses.
as Hancock's command charged Marye
Hill, we would probably have. been
driven back with fearful slaughter.
The present generation, which has
had small or no experience with the
news Of war, should turn back to the
records and files of the days of the six
! ties and note the very broad difference
between casualties then and now. They
| will find also that the celebrity of move
ment is now much greater than for
merly, and that the open order of battle
lines enables the soldier to have more
of shelter, and he suffers less from see
ing his comrades fall about him. Lighter
arms better ammunition, longer range,
open order work and less personal
weight to carry give the soldier of to-
day great advantage over his brother OF
thirty-six years ago.
