quarters. Foregoing, compiled from
large number reports, made immedi.
ately after engagements, is as close an
approximation as now possible owing to
wide distribution of troops. More &C.
curate report would take weeks to pre-
pare. Number reported killed probably
in excess of accurate figures; number
reported wounded probably much less,
as Filipinos managed to remove most
wounded from field, and comparatively
few fell into our hands. Officers of high
rank and dangerous, suspicious men
have been retained as prisoners; most
other men discharged on field as soon as
disarmed. Propose to release all but
very few prisoners at early date.
