WAR STATISTICS.
Interesting Figures Regarding PM"
ippine Instruction Compiled
by Mai. Parker.

Washington, July 24.-Maj. James
Parker, of the adjutant generals Of
fee, has compiled some interesting
statistics regarding the insurrection
in the Philippines. There were 1851
gements with the enemy, more
or less serious, between February 4,
1899, the date of the battle of Ma
Mia, and April 30, 1902, fixed as the
virtual downfall of the instruction.
The larger proportion of these fights
were attacks from ambush on the
American troops, or skirmishes in
which only small detachments took
part.
"In almost no case in these en-
gagements,' says Maj. Parker, "did
American troops surrender, or have
to retreat, or have to leave their
dead and wounded in the possession
of the enemy, Notwithstanding that
in many cases the percentage of loss
was high.''
The number of troops that have
been transported to the Philippines
and have arrived there up to July
16 last was Abs officers and 123,S03
men. The average strength, taken
from monthly returns for the period
of the insurrection, was approx
mately 100000.
Maj. Parker summarizes the casu-
alties of the American army as fol-
lows: Killed or died of wounds, 60
officers and 936 enlisted men; deaths
from disease, ~ officers and 1855
enlisted men; deaths from accidents,
six officers and 1875 enlisted men;
drowned, six officers and 257 enlisted
| men; suicide, ten officers and - en-
listed men; murdered, one officer
and 81 enlisted men; total deaths,
139 officers and 4,016 enlisted men;
wounded, 100 officers and 2,7O7 en-
listed men, total of 1897; killed
and wounded and deaths other than
by disease, 282 officers and Ass en-
listed men; total, 4,470. A large
proportion of the deaths by drown
ing occurred in action or in active
operations against the enemy. Maj.
Parker makes the percentage Of
killed and wounded to the strength
of the army, 81.
