New York, March 21-General Haines

mainly IN making a narrow, deep cut
through the great divide that they

CASUALTIES IN PHILIPPINES.
The Death Rate in Our Army Seventy
Four per Month.

Washington, March 21.-The var Of
fee officials deny recently published
statements that General Otis cam
paign is costing upward of 1000 men
every month. According TO the official
records, since the American >occupatioa
of the Philippines, June !, 1885 up -
February IL, 1900. the date of the last
official compilation, the actual mortal
ity in the army in the Philippines was
60 officers and $50 men. n total Of
1,52S, or at the rate OF "a deaths

More details are contained in the
report of Colonel Woodruff. chief sur
geon of the Philippine army. This re-
port, however. does not extend beyond
the end Of the last calendar year. 10
shows that from the time American
troops landed in Manila up TO Decem-
ber i, 1899, the total number OF deaths
were 5S officers and ,263 men. OF this
number AZ officers and 81 men died Of
violence and 16 officers and 6s3 men
died of disease. Most of the deaths
by violence occurred in battle. There
were, however, 1877 deaths from violence
outside OF actual hostilities. Il Is q
singular fact that more than one hall
of the latter class OF deaths were caus-
ed by drowning. The total number a

WHEELER AT THE WAR OFFICE
Nothing Yet Settled as to His Future
Army Status.

Washington. March 2l.-General
Wheeler called at the war department
this morning and officially reported
retary Root, in accordance with the or
ders of the department. It was expect
ed that the question of General Wheel
er's future military status would be
determined at this meeting. Secretary
Root was SO busy, however, with other
important questions which had accu-
mulated during his absence from the
city that it was concluded best to de-
fer the consideration of General
Wheeler's case to a more opportune
time. The matter will probably be
settled within a few days. Meanwhile
the resignation of General Wheeler
from the volunteer army will be held
in allegiance and the question as to his
eligibility to seat in congress will be
held up pending the settlement Of his
military status.
There is a strong desire to put the
names of General Wheeler and General
Lee on the retired list of the army
with the rank of brigadier general, but
the execution Of this plan requires
special legislation by congress. Exist
ing law prohibits a man 64 years of
age from serving on the active list in
the army. General Lee is over "a and
General Wheeler will be Ga in Septem-
Der next. The last named. therefore,
is the only one eligible for appoint
ment to the regular army. The short
time he would have to serve in case of
appointment is made an argument
against such action. Moreover. the de-
sire Of the president is understood to
be to honor both of the distinguished
volunteer officers in the same way and
not to single out a particular one foI
special preferment. With the consent
of congress. it would be possible to ap-
point them brigadier generals on the
| retired list. Such action would enable
| them to relinQuish present duties, and
| insure their future welfare.
Following the precedent established
| In the case of General Shafter, Gen.
| eral Wheeler may continue on active
| duty indefinitely under his volunteer
| commission. but in case of his transfer
to the regular establishment he would
be obliged to relinquish active duty
! upon reaching the age Of .64 years
| There is reason to believe that Gen
| eral Wheeler would be willing to foreg(
| his rights to a seat in congress under
| existing conditions, providing he wa
| assured of an appointment to the reg
| ular army-.-AS an officer on the retired
! list, there would be no question as t
| his eligibility to a seat in the nationa

| uents desire to elect him.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT.
Fer the Two Consolidated South At
rican Republics.

London, March 22.-The correspond
ent of The Times at Lourenzo MARQUES
telegraphing Tuesday, says:
1T is reported from Pretoria that a
scheme has been arranged for the
amalgamation of the Transvaal and
the Free State. President Kruger will
become president Of the federated
states and Steyn commandant general
Of the Boer army. The flag will be the
same as that of the Transvaal, with
an additional orange color.
Although this story is not confirmed,
it is not improbable. 1t is a notorious
fact that General Joubert has lost the
confidence of the burghers simply be-
cause from the first he refused to
shut his eyes to the inevitable result
of the war. With all the burghers in
the field, it might not be difficult to
secure a formal endorsement of this
rumored scheme.
