TRANSVAAL WAR LOSSES.
British Casualties Greater Thsr
Whole BOer Army.

The war Office at London has just
published a summary of the British
losses in South Africa. Up to Jan. 81
the total reduction Of the forces from
death or permanent disability was %
800 men, The total of the casualties.
including surviving wounded, was
5.24O officers and 1OO701 men.
The estimated population of the
Transvaal at the beginning of the war
was l25.000 persons-men. women and
children. The population of the Or
ange Free State was 100000.
At no time has the strength Of the
Roer army been estimated by the Brit
ish al $4,000. Last October the British
estimate was 1900. Last December
Botha. commanding the BOer forces,
reported to Kruger that he had 1000
men in the field, and this included
those from the Transvaal. Orange
Free State and Cape Colony.
1t will be noted, therefore. that the
Beers have killed or permanently dis
abled more British soldiers than the
Beers had i'll their whole army, says
the New York World. They have, in
addition, wounded more Or less severe
~ owe: three times their own fighting
strength. One Boer soldier, on an av-
erage. has killed one British soldier and
wounded from three to four others.
The British casualties to officers alone
amount numerically to one-ffth of the
Boer army.
The number of British killed and
wounded since the war began is more
than one-third of the entire Boer pop
ulafiOn of year ago. Since then many
women and children have died in the
concentration camps. and it is doubt
full If the population of the Beers at
this time would reach 215,00O. more
than 100000 of whom are now in the
concentration camps.
Not Included in the casualty list pub
lished by the war office are the soldiers
who have been sent home because of
disability resulting from disease. Last
month the war office reported that g.
$3.50 men had been invaded home. but
added that the majority had receHered
and rejoined their commands.
The war has cost the British govern
ulent about $500. tRD0OUD to date.

Island to prevent her sinking. The
bow of the Iroquois was badly used up.
but the ship was able to turn about
dent. The Iroquois was outward bound
for Jacksonville and the Apache was
inward bound for Charleston. The
night was clear .and there was only
slight breeze. A mistake in giving sig
nails by Capt. Bearse of the Apache or
Capt. Chichester of the Iroquois is said
to be responsible for the accident. No
one was injured and there was COM
paratively little excitement among tho
passengers. Neither captain would say
anything for publication regarding the
accident.
The big ships came together with
tremendous crash that could easily be
heard two miles away. Many people on
Sullivan's Island were awakened by
the Earring and grinding noise as the
powerful timbers were shattered to
splinters. The Iroquois drove her
sharp stem into the other vessels hull
on the port side. just at the break of
the forecastle deck. staving a gaping
hole in her twenty feet wide and ex-
tending below the water line.
The bows of the Iroquois, ten feet OH
starboard and two feet on the port
side, were wrecked, and from hawse
pipes up, the stem was twisted and
'wrenched out of all shape.
When the ships extricated them
selves from each other. Capt. Bearse
shouted to the other skipper that his
skip was filling rapidly and to prevent
her going down at once he ran her
upon the sand at Cummings Point,
about 300 yards distant
This morning tugs and lighters went
to the relief of the Apache and began
to bring her freight to the water front,
where it will be slowed until shipped
to New York; 1t Is impossible yet TO
estimate the damage to the vessels
or cargoes. The Apache lies easily and
is in no danger. but a wrecking ship
may be necessary to float her as the
efforts of the tugs to-day were of no
avail. -
The Iroquois is being, repaired here
and will sail in a few days for Jack
sonViile or New York.
Capts. Bearse and Chichester have
been sailing to this port for many
years and have fine records for sea-
manship
The Apache was on her second trip
since her recent remodeling. She was
heightened by fifty feet and other
wise improved to meet the needs of the
service. The Iroquois is one of the
Fold vessels of the line, but she is still
a first-class boat.

Senator Platt was absolutely without
result, the operators refusing to con-
slider the political aspect of the situa-
ton and maintaining the position that
the question was one between employ
er and employe as to the management
OF the properties concerned.
According to the authority above IN
dicated, Senator Quay ana Gov. Odell
expressed the opinion that should the
strike continue for another fortnight or
longer, the effect would be to so pos
sess the public mind with the one sub
Ject OF shortage of fuel that political
outles would be neglected, AMI the
voters remain away from the polls on
election day, with the natural result
that the majority party IN New York
ana pennsylvania would be the great
er sufferer.
On their part the operators declared
that the question at issue was entirely
apart from party politics: and they re-
FUSED to be influenced by representa-
tlons as to the effect the strike might
nave upon the fortunes of one party
or the other.

gentleman already quoted declared
that party politics should not be in
jected into the situation.
1t is asserted on what appears to be
good authority that Mr. Morgan was
IN communication during the day with
some of the politicians who conferred
with the operators. but that he de-
clned to be placed in the attitude of
a party to the controversy.

Speaking of the results of their in

that many of these complaints were
without merit, but that on the other
hand many meritorious claims had
been thrown out.
Prom a personal investigation" they
say, 1--WE are convinced that scores Of
claims are rejected every day that
should be allowed"
The responsibility for these rejec-
tons Is laid principally at the door Of
the medical division of the pension bu-
reau.
The report, which is dated March %,
last, concludes:

said:

building of homes for soldiers North

the greatest fraterTfal organization in
the world more becomingly crown its

hand of helpfulness to their fellow
countrymen, against whom they were
once arrayed in deadly strife. The
