The Greatest war Known in History

Tho newspapers of to-day are full of
comments respecting what has been
termed "the bloody war of the Beers"
a wal by the way which was not OF their
own making. The losses incurred by
the Beers and the British in South
Africa up to the present time are ridic-
ulousiy small compared to the appall-
ing number of men who were killed, or
died of wounds or disease ia the Amer
Ican civil war, a conflict that did truly
"stagger humanity because in all his
tory there is no wal comparable to 1t IN
bloody results.
liz the four years struggle between
the North and South there was an enor-
nous loss of human life. 1t is said
tterear DO completes records OF Confed-
crate losses, but those of the Union side
have been pronounced to be officially
complete. They show that of the Fed
eral soldiers engaged in the war there
died on the field of battle or from
fatal wounds 110,007; from disease $780,
720, and from other causes 49,70o-a
grand aggregate of 359, 528. Estimating
those who went home and died. OF
whom no account was taken, it is be-
lieved that the total death list OF the
Union side reached 100000.
DuIIA& GBp U"V tWOOhS VI
arouud Sp%ottsylvania Court House the
Federals had 2725 killed and 1906
wounded. After the sever days fight
ing in the Wilderness the C~onfederates
reported 3478 killed, 875 missing and 49,
261 wounded. The joint losses of the j.
days battle at Gettysburg were 5782
killed and so, 749 wounded, the Confede-
rate losses being 712 killed, 1888 wound
ed and 7465 missing, and the Union losses
.2070 killed, 1896 wounded (many NOR
tally and 5434 missing. In the Atlanta
campaign the Federal losses were 4,423
killed, 22,822 wounded and 4.442 missing.
To show how the gaps we're filled, at
least on one side, than 100000
active Union soldiers were under arms
when the war ended.
AS will be seen, the Union losses
alone during the Civil War were more
than double the men engaged on both
sides in the British-B aer War. The
losses in that war, when compared with
those of the gigantic struggle OF Clio,
seem trit1ing and yet We were assured
by President Kruger that the results OF
the British invasion would be such as
would "stagger humanity"
In it's comments on the fatality hg-
ures the Army and Navy journal very
truly says of the civil strife in this
country that sit was not an internatlon-
al war, and it did not attract that at
tention throughout the world which it
would have excited had it not been a
strictly home affair. Consequently, the
people of other nations, excepting the
critical students, have only an made
quate idea of the magnitude OF the
struggle. No intelligent person IA
contemplate the fatality records of the
four years. conflict in this country
without@being impressed with the be-
lief that neither ancient nor modern
annals furnish q parallel to it"

reply, today, to the appeal of the En-
peror of China for German mediation
between the powers and the Chinese
government. In substance Count Won
Buelow said he would not submit the
telegram from the Pekin government
so long as the fate of the legations
and other foreigners in China were not
ascertained and so long as the Chinese
government had not atoned for the
murder of the German minister to

guarantees that in future its conduct
will be in harmony with international
law and the usages of civilization.

ENGLAND REFUSES TO BELIEVE
That Ministers Are Saie-Forecasting Siius.
lion il They Are Alive.

London, July 24-The Chinese minis
ter. Sir Chin Chen Lo Feng Luh, had
a long interview with Lord Salisbury.
this afternoon. The general situation
was discussed and the Chinese minis
ter reiterated his belief that the British
minister TO China, Sir Claude MacDOn
old, and the other foreigners at Pekin
We're safe. Lord Salisbury reiterated
his demand for direct communication
with the minister at Pekin. To this
request the minister could only renew
his pretestations that it would be
speedily accomplished, if feasible He
adduced no new facts to prove his as
sertiors. The interview closed without
result.
Despite the Chinese minister's state
ments and despite Sir Claude MacDon-
AIDS letter of July 4, a strong impress
sion continues TO prevail at the foreign
office that the ministers at Pekin were
massacred, July G. The Associated
Press correspondent is Informed that
not one scientilla of evidence is yet in
the posse ssion of the foreign office lead
ing them to disbelieve the reports of
the murders. Sir Claude MacDonald's
letter. with its account of severe fight
ing in progress, merely confirms the
governments forbodings. William
Pritchard Morgan. member of Parlia-
ment for Merthiyr Tydvill, whose
knowledge Of the interest in China are
extensive, informed The Associated
Press correspondent today, that he was
positive, from cable messages from his
agents. that the members of the lega-
ions were alive, July 3. When the for
elgn office was told this. the rejoiner
was made: Mr.. Morgan has submit
ted no evidence to convince us of the
truth of his statement, however anx-
ious we may be to believe it."
Consultations are in progress between
cabinet ministers and officials as to the
course to be pursued should the minis
tiers prove to be alive. The contingen-
cy of China holding them as hostages
is uppermost in the minds of all al
though The Associated Press CORE
spondent is officially informed that the
Chinese diplomats have not yet limited
at such action. Negotiations between
the powers have brought out mutual
assurances that the military expedi-
lions to China are for the sole purpose
OF relieving the legations and that
there IS no intention to partition
China. Hence should China agree To
deliver the ministers alive no power
Will have reason for continuing ag
sfessiVe military operations except
Germany, whose minister is undoubt-
edly dead, and even Germany, to quot /,
