COMPARATIVE LOSSES.

The cableGrams have not been very
definite on the point Of the losses in
Hicted and received thus far iu tho
Balkan war; these have been referred
to in generalities; but doubtless when
the actual count has been made the
figures will be appalling, especially
those inflicted upon the Turks, since
they have been almost always defeated
and have been pursued, according to all
accounts. with merciless vigor that

these two famous battles were not half

when each nation is considered sepa'

a statement of the naval expenditures
OF the various great powers for the
present year and next year, as taken
from a parliamentary paper issued by
the British Admiralty. The figures arc
based on the estimates Of the admiral
