Washington, June 4.--Secretary Root
to-day made answer to the senate reso-
luton inquring as to the number of
Filipinos killed and wounded and the
number of prisoners taken since the in,

information on the subject the secretary
cabed the inquiry to General MacAr-

submitted to congress:

ence to your telegram of 22nd ulto.
Filipinos killed, 10,7S0; wounded, 2.lO4;

Der prisoners in our possession, about
1000 No systematic record of Filipino
casualties at these headquarters Fore
going compiled from large number re-
ports made Immediately after engage
ments is as close approximation as now
possible owing to wide distribution of
troops. More accurate report would
take weeks to prepare. Number report
cd killed probably in excess of accur-
ate figures; number reported wounded
probably much less as Filipinos manage
to remove most wounded from field
and comparatively few fell into our
hands. Officers high rank and danger
Gus, suspicious men have been retained
as prisoners most other men discharg
ed on field as soon as disarmed. Pro-
pose to release all but very dangerous
prisoners at early date. (Signed) Mac

DIVORCE F0R MR. POTTER.
Granted on Grounds OF Dcsertton-IIas
Custody OF His Daughter.

Newport, r. l., June 4.-The petition
of James Brown Potter of Newport for
a divorce from his wife, Cora Urquhart
Potter, was granted in the appellate di-
vision of, the supreme court sitting here
to-day. The decree is absolute and Mr..
Potter is given the custody of his
daughter, Miss Fiji Potter. The di-
vorce is based on the ground of deser-
tion, and the evidence was entirely
based on depositions. The case prom
ised to be interesting to an unusual eX-
tent by reason of the prominence of
Mrs. Potter in the theatrical world and
of Mr. Potters social standing Much
secrecy had marked the preliminary
hearing and fortnight ago deposltions
We're taken before a special commits
sioner with the intent of having these
dispositions merely handed in and the
court render its decision when conven
lent. To-day the attorney for Mr.. Pot
ter, Colonel S. r. Honey, asked that
the usual proceedings of reading the
documents be waived, but this the court
refused to do and ordered the same read
in open court. The petition which Mr.
Potter presented to the court prayed
for a divorce, alleging wiful desertion
for a period of more than five years.
Mrs. Potter was represented by Colo
mel William p. Sheffield jr., bue he took
no part in the proceedings, being pres
ent in case an attack should have been
made on the good name of the respond
ent.

Washington, June 4.-The senate COM
mittee on military affairs to-day re-
ported favorably the nomination of
General Otis to be major general.
When reported to the senate in execu
tive session there was request for inn
mediate action, but objection was made
and the nomination went over.
When seen by a reporter of the Asso
ciated Press, General Otis, in response
to a request that he make a statement
Of the situation in the Philippines said
that he could not comply with the re-
quest, as such action in his judgment
would be inconsistent with his duty as
an officer Of the army. Asked what
would be the effect on the war if the
report Of Aguinaldo's death were true,
General Otis said that the war was
practically ended; that Aguinaldos fol-
lowers were deserting fast and those
who now remained with him We're gen.
orally Of the lower class. Most of his
officers had left him, although some
still remained in touch with him. Some
of those who had left him were now
engaged in business in Manila and 9TH
ers were hiding in the mountains Many
said, were very friendly toward the
United States and as soon as the ma
tives in general gained confidence in
the friendly offices of the Americans
there would be little difficulty in bring
ing them to terms. Asked as to the
commercial value of the islands, the
general said that they Were vastly rich,
especially in hemp, sugar and tobacco,
and as soon as the situation became
more quiet business of all kinds would
increase tremendously as it was doing
now
General Otis would not state whether
or not he favored the retention of the
islands by this country. In response to
query he said: I'VE have got them
now What are we to do about it?"
Regarding the number of troops and
the condition of soldiers, General Otis
said There are $4,000 effective troops
scattered among the islands now. en-
gagged in the protection Of the people
from guerilla warfare, which is ram
pant in some sections. The general
health of the troops is exceedingly good.
the percentage of the sick for the month
of April being burt 10 per cent The
can stand the climate better
than the Filpinos, and especially dur
ing the rainy season did their health
impress me- The men are becoming ac-
and though it may become
to send out relief troops al
times, it will hardly be necessary to
send soldiers very frequently"
General Otis said that his own
health was excellent General Otis left
for Washington tonight and will re-
port to the president at once. He could
not state when his report of the situa-
ton would be ready, but said he would |
hrst make verbal report to the au-
thorities in Washington and later hand |

BRISTOL POLICE QUESTION.
The Voters Against Abolishing the
Dffice of Chief

Bristol, June AT the largest meet
ing ever held by the borough of Bristol
since its inception the voters asserted
tonight that Bristol should have a chief
of police and further that Chief of Po-
lice Arms should be retained during the
administration of the present board.
The meeting was special one and over
one thousand voters were present. 1t
was called at the request Of Warden
Fogg and the police committee, con-
sisting of Martin Pierson, chairman; c.
b. Roberts and T. H, Brown, and the
only matter considered was the abolish
ment Of the office of chief of police. 1t
was urged apparently on the ground Of
economy, but the opinion prevailed that
1t was an attempt to force Chief Arms
out of office, and the voters almost
upheld the chief.

Delegates VIII Go Uninstructcd to the
National Convention.

Baltimore, Md, June 4.-Democratic
conventions were held in the three leg
islative districts of Baltimore City to-
day and resulted in the sending of un-
instructed delegations to the state con-
vention, which is to be held here to-
morrow. This leaves no room for doubt
that the ,delegat ation sent from this state
to the national democratic convention
at Kansas City will go without instruc-
tions and free to act as they think best
on all questions which may come be-
fore that body. 1t is understood that
no effort will be made to defeat the
nomination of w. j. Bryan for the pres
idency but vigorous effort will be
made to exclude a 16 20 l plank from
the platform and to replace it with one
declaring for a gold standard. An eff
fort win also be made by them to NOM
mate gold standard democrat for the
vice presidency. The local silver men
made a strong fight and came within
five votes of carrying the third legisla-
tive district convention to-day.
