Washington, April 1o.-Off'cials OF
the war department believe that
Aguinaldo's peace manifesto pract'-
cally brings the war in the Philip

Lesson a Costly One.
Washington, April 9.-The rebellion
against American authority has been
a costly experience for the natives OF
the Philippines. Fifty thousand Fill
pinos form the lowest estimate of the
war department of the casualties sus-
tanned by the Filipino forces; 1867
rifles have been captured or surren-
dcred and 605,142 rounds OF ammunl-
ton, as shown by incomplete re-
turns, have been seized.
Number Killed.
The number of Filipinos killed cam
not be accurately determined by the
department, as Gen. Macarthur in his
dispatches confessedly states that it
is impossible to be accurate on this
point, but it would not surprise offi-
Gals should the losses sustained by
the insurgents in killed and died OF
disease reach $4,000, and some say
that $4,000 is closer to the real fig
IRE. The rebellion has been in prog
ress three years.

For the 27 months ending November
30 last the total number of Filip'nos
captured or surrendered was 13,46s
officers and men and the number of
rifles turned in 4,933. Since November
30 last $500 officers and men have
been captured or surrendered and
2,734 rifles have been delivered to Or

number of surrenders in the latter
period have far exceeded those OF any
similar period to November 80 last.

Although the former insurgent chief
has taken the oath of allegiance and
is about to issue a proclamation call

the rebellion, there is no disposition
to give Aguinaldo utter freedom.

gent commander in the island OF
Panay until his surrender in January,

province of Iloilo, created by the
