founding fact that secret records or
file at the ministry Of war show that
$4,000 Federal soldiers have been
killed and more than $4,000 wounded
in conflicts with rebels since Presi-
dent Madero was criven from office
was revealed to-day by an attache
Of the Government.
He stated that the majority of
those killed were soldiers drafted
into the army and placed in the adj
vance guard in battles in order that
the trained troops might be held in
reserve.
No accurate figures for the prop
erty loss in Mexico are available, but
il is estimated at more than $3.50, 000,-
900 in the last nine months. Losses
indirectly due TO the revolution
caused by paralysis of business and
depreciation of the national currency
swell this total to 100000, 900, ac-
cording to financial experts. Ameri-

as a result of the commercial and in
