LOSSES or FIL1PINos.
NEW YORK. April s.-According to
a Herald special from Washington
since the rebellion In the Philippines
$4,000 men is the lowest estimate of
the war department OF the casualties
sustained by the Filipino forces; 1867
rifles have been captured or surrender
have been seized.
The number Of Filipinos killed can
not be accurately determined, as Gen.
Macarthur, in his dispatches states
that it is impossible to be accurate on
this point. 1t would not surprise off,
cials should the Filipino fatalities reach
$4,000 and some say that $4,000 is closer
to the real figures. Adjutant General
/ Corbin is satisfied that the casualties
suffered by the insurgents viii form a
potent reason for the abandonment of
further resistance by the natives
GENERAL YOUNG'S VIEWS.
NEW YORK, April "a special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Major General S b. NJ. Young, who
has just returned to Washington after
serving nearly two years in the Phil
| ippirus had this 10 say about condi-
tiors in the Islands:
IN the six weeks that have elapsed
since ! left the islands, some important
changes have been wrought, so that
/ am unable to say accurately just
what the situation is in Luzon now.
do believe, however, that the capture
of Aguinaldo, and his acceptance of
American authority, will have Il bene-
! fetal effect, and no doubt a strong
y
der. Some of the leaders VIII probably
come in and surrender, as l see small
bands are doing from day to day. 1t
is impossible to say what such men
as Alejandrino and Santos VIII DO
They may decide TO follow AguinaldO's
example, and again they may be am
bilious and desire to become leaders in
his stead AleiandrinO, who has been
spoken of as Aguinaldo's possible sue
cessOr, is an able and intelligent Fill
i
mand is well scattered and small. Cen
eral Tino is the Filipino leader in
Northern Luzon, and is quite active
Under him are perhaps 5000 men, with
more or less loose and disconnected
organization, divided into guerilla
bands, who drop down on quartermas-
ter and commissary supply trains &C
companiee by small parties They
never fight in the open, and take to the
mountains when a force of American
soldiers appears.
Even if all the leaders do come In
and surrender there viii remain small
organized bands for rome time to come
which viii cause trouble. / am not in
favor of reducing the military force
in the islands below the $4,000 limit
We Will need fully this number of men
to maintain peace and give assurance
of tranquility. Had not General Trias
surrendered before the capture of
Aguinaldo he would, no doubt, have
been selected as the Filipino leader.
