WHAT FAMOUS sIEGEs COST
Reduction Of Fortified Places. Stub.
bornly Defended, Means . Fearful
Loss Of Human LIE.

No details are yet available Of the
losses incurred in the reduction of
Adrianople by the Balkan nations, but
they are bound to be enormous. The
capture Of Port Arthur cost Japan 34,-
600 wounded and $4,000 dead. In the
Franco-German war the loss of the
besiegers was very small in all cases.
But that was because the French gar.
rison surrendered quickly, or where
the French held out the Germans did
not attempt an assault. Strasburg was
taken with loss OF S66 men. Belfort
cost the Germans 2.lO0 men. At Paris,
Metz. and the other places the loss
was Insignificant.
In 1877 the Russians besieged two
fortified places held by the Turkish
troops. Kars was carried by a sur.
prise night attack. at which the Rus
SLAMS lost 1890 men. Plevna showed q
very different result. Here the Rus
slams carried out three assaults. all of
which failed. and their total loss In
killed and wounded amounted to the
immense number Of 27.70O officers and
men. or nearly onethird Of the besieg.
ing army.
The great siege Of Sabastopol In 1856
was desperate affair. 1t lasted II
months. and In that period the Rus.
SLAMS had $4,000 men killed and wound
ed. while the French and British be-
sieging forces lost $4,000. In this case
however. the Russians were able tC
get rc!n'c-cements to the end.
~ Delhi the British loss was 1850
Lined and wounded. The siege OF San
C-oast.an cost 1000 men, and the
famous siege Of Rochelle. carried ou'
over four centuries ago. cost no few
er than 10000 men. In this case eight
assaults were delivered.
The United States lost heavily In
the sieges Of the Civil war. To give
one instance. the federal army had 10.
300 killed and wounded In the two
assaults delivered g. cstarshurg.

than could be justified. Ii was not
until August Of 1912 that Fisher
found occasion TO tell of his suspi-
cions to anyone. and then, during the
time that the auditors books were be-
ing inspected by the Audit Company,
he states that he advised Auditor
Field to pay especial attention To Ly-
mans books. II was as a result of
this tip" so Fisher maintains. that
Field got on the right track for fur
Their Investigations Fisher declared
this morning that this discrepancy in
the report of Lyman as secretary of
the liquor commission was the only
thing on the records of the territorial
auditor that pointed to a condition of
graft in Hilo, and that his suspicious
of Lyman were not certain enough TO
enable him tFisherl to make a writ
ten charge against him. ~...
Does Not Favor Accounts Bureau.
When asked as TO the remedy for
the present condition, Fisher declared
that the board of supervisors must
have neglected their duty or Mcguire
would never have been able to cash
demands on the county upon which
the board of supervisors had pass
ed. He stated that, in his opinion, a
bureau of public accounts, specially
founded for the purpose of auditing
both county and territorial returns.
would be expensive and that law
giving the territorial auditors office
power to examine the county books
would probably meet the difficulty.
An additional auditor would have to
be added to the office for this purpose,
Fisher said, and travelling expenses
would have to be allowed him. An
other reform that Fisher suggested
was that claims against the county
should be paid by the treasurer and
not, as is now the case, by the county
auditor. The auditor should record
al! claims and keep a record of them,
but they should be presented for pay
meHt at the treasury. Fisher explain
ed that the present law regulating the
forms to be used I'M auditing county
expenses was modelled after the laws
of certain California counties in 1905
and that they were now in need of inn
provements and amendments, although
in principle, he declared, they are
perfectly sound and workable.

FISHER DECLARES He HAS
NO POWER TO. DO AUDITING

Declaring that he has no more pow
er to examine the books of the county
auditors than private citizen, Terri
torial Auditor j. II. Fisher this morn
ing acknowledged that rumors of the
lmuddled and incompetent condition of
County Auditor Maguires books had
reached him previous to the time that
the examination of the books was or
dered. Fisher stated that there was
nothing definite that had come to his
office regarding the condition of Ma
CURES books, and that there was moth
ing in the reports OF the auditors of
the counties definite enough to make
him take action. The only things
that had come up to arouse his suspi-
clans, he said, were reports that the
county officials in Hilo were living
beyond their salaries and that their
books were in confused condition.
He stated that the law gives him no
power to go through the books of the
auditors of the counties and that any
charge he might have made which was
not based upon actual facts would
have laid him open to- libel. He de-
clared that the only return made by
the county auditors to his office are
the yearly returns giving a summary
of the financial condition of the coun-
ties, which returns, he said, are made
up into a table by his office for the in
formation of the legislature There
was no way of arriving at the actual
condition of the books of the different
auditors from this blanket statement,
Fisher stated. He declared that, since
the territorial auditor has no power
ITO examine the books of the county
auditors, II is not his business to run
TO earth all indefinite rumors that
may spring up in any part of the ter
ritOry at any time - r.. T. s."
Attention Called i'm 1911. :-......-.. >.-..-
Fisher explained that his attention
had been drawn to the condition of the
accounts of Rufus Lyman, secretary
on the liquor commission in Hilo in
July Of 1911. He declared, however,
that the granting of liquor licenses
was at this time taken from the fed
eral and given to the county author
tiles. When representative from the
office of the territorial auditor called
at Hilo in September of 1911, the mon
ey collected for the licenses was found
to be on hand, although a number of
the payments were reported as having
been made five or six months later

guire had Jumped certain sums to-
gether which prevented any itemized
check being made. The territorial
auditor. when | drew his attention to
these discrepancies in the cash bal

TO say the least, these yariances
in cash balances constituted a very
grave matter and when coupled with
the unauthorized appropriations, which

there was no telling to what extent

of Hawaii would disclose defalcations
and other Irregularities
