AT AWFUL COST.
Filipino Resistance TO the United States Has
Resulted In the killing OF Probably
$1,000 NatIEes-

Washington, April 1O.-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, 1867 rifles have
been captured or surrendered and
6O5,142 rounds of ammunition, as
shown by incomplete returns, have
been seized. The number OF FilipinOs
killed cannot be accurately deter
mined, as Gen. Macarthur in his dis
patches states that it is impossible
to be accurate on this point It
would not surprise officials should
the Filipino fatalities reach $4,000,
and some say that $4,000 is closer to
the real figure. Adjt. Gen. COrbin is
satisfied that the casualties suffered
by the FihpinOs viii In themselves
form a potent reason for the aban-
donment of further resistance by the
natives.

Washington, April 1O.-The rejec-

amendment by the Cuban eonstitu-
tionaI convention was not a surprise
to the officials of the government
here, although it had the hope that
the Cubans would make the task Of
this government easier by the accept
ance of the terms on which the con-
gress Of the United States offers the
Cubans their own representative gov
ernment. The course to be followed
by this government in view of this
action is clear. Unless the members
of the convention voluntarily meet
and reconsider their action the mill

is the head viii remain In force until

was stopped at once more forcible
measures would follow. One drug
store proprietor promised to close
his store and leave the city. Songs
were sung and speeches made by the
crusaders at each place. A bowling
crowd of 1000 men and boys followed.
