Washington, April 10. = Rebellion
against American authority has been
a costly experience for the natives Of
the Philippines. Fifty thousand is the
lowest estimate of the war depart
ment Of the casualties sustained by
the Filipino forces, 1857 rifles have
been captured or surrendered and
6O5,142 rounds OF ammunition, as

would not surprise officials should
the Filipino fatalities reach $4,000,
and some say that $4,000 is closer to
the real figure. The progress made
in pacifcation Is illustrated by the
figures in the possession Of the de-
partment. For the 81 months ended
November 30 last the total number Of
Filipinos captured or surrendered was
49, officers and men and the num-

rendered and 2,734 rifles have been
