The War With Spain.

The war with Spain was small
one so far as numbers engaged was
concerned and in duration of the
war, yet the records show that from
the latter part of April to the last
of September, 1893, the deaths in
action and from wounds and dis
ease were 2,oIo. a period of five
months Taking all organizations in
service in the Civil War for like
period the deaths from all causes
were 2723, or nearly 200 less. Yet
the S. A. W. service men have been
reproached for having won their con-
flict with too slight loss to them and
as merely having enjoyed a vacation
al outing In regard to the war with
Spain and the instruction III the
Philippines it is not generally known
that the armed forces engaged in $50
battles, engagements and skirmishes,
in SIS OF which Americans were
killed or wounded. The record of
the war with Spain and the insurrec-
ton in the Philippines was almost
repetition OF the first five months OF
the Civil War, in casualties. War De-
partment records show over $4,000
credited to the volunteers OF 1SoS-oo
mostly from disease, rather
calamitous summer vacation for
men who had been proven physically
sound. These veterans and their sur
viving comrades took the same oath
and followed the same flag that the
other soldiers have, brought inesti-
mable happiness to enslaved millions
