LOSSES OF FILIPINOS.

NEW YORK, April 9.-According to
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; 1861
rifles have been captured or surrender
ed and 65,142 rounds of ammunition
have been seized.
The number of Filipinos killed can
not be accurately determined, as Gen.
Macarthur, in his dispatches states
that 1t is impossible to be accurate on
this point 1t would not surprise off,
Gals should the Filipino fatalities reach
%, 900 and some say that 50,000 is closer
to the real figures. Adjutant General
Corbin is satisfied that the casualties
suffered by the insurgents will form a
potent reason for the abandonment of
further resistance by the natives.

THE MOURNING PERIOD.

It is announced that the mourning
period" for the death Of President Nc
Kinley terminated October l3. The flags
which had flown from half.mast ON every
public building throughout the country
were hoisted. This date, however, mere
ly marked the termination Of tine "offi-
cial" period OF mourning.
1t would be useless for men and wo-
men,i this active and progressive world,
to continually wear the badges Of grief.
Common sense has suggested that during
a certain period such badges shall be
worn and signs Of grief displayed; but
the world moves on and it is necessary
that after time the public shall aban.
don the formal indications Of its sorrow
in order that 1t may devote it's energy to
real life
