Query.
Washington, June 6.--Secretary Root

which was submitted to congress.
"Manila, June 4.-yVith reference to
your telegram of the 22d nlt.: Fill
pinos, killed, 10,780; wounded, 2,424;
captured and surrendered, about
1000; no Systematic record OF Filipino
casualties to be had here.
The foregoing is obtained from. q
large number of reports made from
engagements, and is ms close an APP
Proclamation MS is now possible, owing
to the wide distribution of troops.
IN more accurate report would take
weeks to prepare. Number reported
Killed probably in excess OF accurate
figures; number reported wounded
probably less, as Filipinos managed to
remove mostgof the wounded from h
field and comparatively few fell n
our hands. Officers high in rank, and
dangerous, suspicious men have been
retained as prisoners; most Of h
other men discharged OH field as soon
MS disarmed. Propose to release NIL
but very few prisoners at early date.
