William Ska<eI, Chicago Gambler,
Broker, Politician, Dying.
Chicago Chronicle.
William skakelT gambler, broker, politi-
clan and ranchman, who was taken to
st. Luke's hospital q month ago. has
had a relapse and is now dying of blood
poisoning. Mr.. Skakel contracted the
disease early in July on his cattle ranch
in South Dakota. Up to- two. weeks ago
he had a fair chance to recover, but when
his old friend and business associate,
James Appleton, died, he insisted on at
tending the funeral, against the advice of
his physicians. Since then Mr. SkakeF S
condition has gradually grown worse, I'M
tai now demise is only a question of hours.
William Skakel is one of the most pic
turesque figures in the late history Of
Chicago. Twenty-Five years ago he start
ed small gambling house in Clark
street, near the bridge. From that time
prosperity crowned everything he under
took. He rapidly enlarged his business
until he had sevenI or eight establish
ments where one could deal in stocks on
the clock-machine plan.
For years Mr.. Skakel was a source of
trouble to the police of the city He was
arrested scores of times on complaints of
citizens and the Board of Trade, but the
authorities never succeeded in convicting
he contracted the disease which has
of Trade started such determined fight
against him that he abandoned his bust
ness in Chicago and retired to his ranch
in South Dakota While killing cattle
brought him to deaths door.
To Mr.. Skakel belongs the unique dis
tinction of having scared Aid. John
Coughlin almost to death. In the spring
Of 1894 the two contested at the primaries
for the nomination of alderman in the
First ward. Coughlin won, and Skakel
entered the field as an Independent cam
didate. A campaign followed that is
spoken Of to this day as the most re-
markable in the history Of the ward.
Money was practically thrown away, and
the levee was on a drunk for months.
Cough1in won by the narrowest margin.
Mr. Skakel had been extremely char
table. He has given away thousands Of
dollars annually to various Institutions
throughout the city. The Little Sisters of
the Poor especially benefited by his GER
crosby. Though >reputed to be a gambler
he was exceedingly popular. 1t is not
known what Mr.. Skakel is worth at this
time. During the Worlds fair period he
was supposed to. have $1,00000O in realty
and personal holdings, but his continual
fights with the courts cost him an enor-
nous sum, and his fortune dwindled rap
idly.

army has been fighting the Filipinos.
There would have been a certain per-
centage of deaths among the same men
If they had been doing ordinary garrison
duty in the United States, or if they had
not entered the military service
Most of the deaths, however, can be at
tributed directly to the effects of the
change of climate upon the men and the
hardships they have had to undergo In
campaigning in tropical country, often
in swamps where dry camp sites could
not be found. That this is true is shown
by the fact that the sick list in the Phil
ippines has ranged between and % per
cent and, according to Surgeon General
Sternberg, the deaths from acute dysen-
terry, typhoid fever, smallpox and mala-
rial fevers alone have been at the an
nual rate of 11.95 per 1000 men.
Suicide and insanity have been promi-
nent features in the reports from the
islands. Exact statistics on these points
are not obtainabie, but it is known that
more than 100 men have become tempo
rarily or permanently insane as a result
of the unaccustomed strain of the tor
rid climate, and it is probable that more
who are included under the head Of miss
ing or captured should be credited to
suicide or insanity.
Compared with the Spanish war, the
cost in men and money in the long cam
paign against the Filipino insurgents has
been large. Spain, which had a navy
equal on paper to that of the United
States, and whose army was vastly su-
perior in numerical strength to that Of
this country, was whipped in a compare
lively short campaign, at a financial cost,
figured on the basis of the treasury de-
partment estimates, of about $213, 122, OOO
The army lost in this war 254 officers
and men killed in action in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines The total num-
Der wounded was !, $40, of whom 125 died.
The navy lost only eighteen killed in ac-
ton. It was from disease in Cuba and
in the camps in the United States that

scarcely a fight that could be dignified
by the term of battle" Yet in the in
cessant sl1irmishes that have marked al
most every day since the instruction be-
gan the Americans have lost 533 men
killed in action, and there have been 1853
deaths from other causes, most of them
from disease, though this total embraces
a few cases of suicide and deaths by
drowning and accident.
There have been 2,073 men wounded in
engagements with the Filipinos. Careful
study Of the reports of the surgeon gen
eraI shows that OF the men wounded in
battle, about nine and one-third per cent
die in consequence of their wounds. This
would add 1873 to the list Of deaths and
make total of 1884 from all causes in

COST OF PHILIPPINE WAR

OF THE GOVERNMENT SINCE
OUTBREAK Is $ISG,67S,OOO
SOLDIERS LIVES GIVEN UP
More Than 1000 Men Wounded by
FiIipinOs-Suicides and Insan-
ity Prominent Features
of Reports.

As nearly as figures can express 1t, the
cost to the United States of the war In
the Philippines has been $1S6,678, 900 in cash
and at least 1894 lives of American SOL
diers, says the Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald.
Approximately speaking, the war with
Spain ended and that with the Filipinos
began on Feb. l, 1899. This date can be
used in calculating the eXpediture in
money, although 1t was not until Feb.
that hostilities really began, and it was
not until Feb. 6 that the treaty Of peace
with Spain was ratified.
The total of deaths given is compiled
from a report made by the secretary of
war in reply to a resolution passed
the senate and from Gen. MacArthur's
death and casualty lists since the date
covered by that report-May "a, 1900-up
to and including Aug. II. 1t is possible
that not all of the deaths have been re-
ported. but the possible error is small,
and 1884 IS approximately the correct
total.
COST OF ARMY AND NAVY
It is difficult to approximate the cost
of the war in dollars and cents, for it is
impossible to determine just what pro-
portion Of the increased military and ma
val expenses Of the government should be
charged to that war. Estimates prepared
by expert accountants of the treasury de-
partment show that the cost of the army
and navy since the beginning of hostilities
in the Philippines has been 1854, $50, 900 in
excess OF what it would have been if the
same average rate of expenditures had
been maintained that prevailed before the
war with Spain.
This, however, has not all been due to
the hostilities in the islands. Especially
is this true as to the navy, for it cannot
be said that the policy of ship construc-
ton has been materially affected by the
Philippine situation, and about as many
ships would have been kept in commits
sion if the Philippines had been abandon
