THE COST OF WAR.
Some Estimates Regarding the Recent
South African Struggle.

England has expended 100000, 900 in
fighting the Beers.
Probably $4,000 men have either been
killed or wounded
Two Boer republics have been wiped
off the map of South Africa.
Forty thousand of their inhabitants
have been killed, wounded, or have
died Of disease.
Thirty thousand Beers are prisoners,
either with Cronie, on st. Helena, or
on tie Islands of Ceylon, in the Indian
ocean or the Bermudas.
Total cost of the war per day (es-
timateD, $S24,000.
Increased.
Pressing public projects for army
ana navy have been pushed aside
Last October the official report
showed 54S officers and 1923 priVates
killed in action.
Dt wounded officers there were
1923; ana Of soldiers, 2S,032.
of missing officers there were on the
books 5G5; Of privatcs, 9177. Since
then 35l officers escaped or We're re-
leased, ana SAT- enlisted men farcG
/ likewise.
Disease has taken off Approximately
1000, including Il few deaths by ac-
cidents Of various kinds such us rail
road wrecks, bursting cannon, etc.
! The Beers never issue reports 81
dead, wounded or missing. 50 figures
are impossible; We're they given on
they would likely prove unreliable.
Az the present time something like
1900 men are in the field.

The Hague, June 1.-The news of the

received here with. very mixed feelings
While there IS general satisfaction thac

pressed at the loss of Boer independence.
The Boer delegates here are in Il partic-
nlarly trying position. It has been learn
ed upon good authority that the British
government at the last moment refused
to allow the 3oer5 in South Africa to
communicate with their leaders in Flu
rope; thus the delegates on the continef.
were entirely shut cut Of The negotiations
ana were ignorant Of the terms of sur
render except as they learned of them
through the newspapers.
a Dutch official referring to the news
from South Africa said: ''fhc delegates
made u great mistake in not complying
with the ardent wish Of the Dutch GOV
eminent at the time of The overtures
made by DR.. kuypcr the premier, which
was that they apply for safe conducts to
South Africa in which case they would
have been on the SPOT and might have
exercised some influence in the final set
