Manila, June 4.
Adjutant Geneml, Washington:
"With reference to your telegram of
22d ult.: Filipinos killed, 10,780;
wounded, 8,104; captured and surren
dered, 10,4'4; number prisoners in our
possession, about 2,000. No systematic
roetird Filipino casualties these head
quarters. Foregoing, compiled from
largo nuinlH-r reports, mndo immedi
ately nfter engagements, is as closo an
approximation as now possible owing to
wide distribution of troops. More ac
curate reuort would take weeks to pre
pare. Number reported killed probably
in excess of ucourato figures; number
reported wonnded probably much less,
as Filipinos managed to remove most
wounded from field, and comparatively
few foil into our hands. Officers of high
rank and dangerous, suspicions men
have been retained as prisoners; mosl
other men discharged on field as soon at

Klnpek Tolil of Horrible Section In tli
India Famine Dintrlet -Cholera
and Smallpox Knifing,
Bombay, June 4. Lmis Klopsch, of
New York, publisher of The Christian
Herald, who arrived hero May 14 and
stnrted at onco on a tour of tho famine
stricken districts, has returned, after
traveling through tho most sorely smit
ten portions of the Bombay presidency,
including Gnjorat and Buroldn. IIu
makes the following statements regard
ing his observations:
"Every where I met tho most shex'k
ing and revolting scenes. The fnmine
camps have been swept by cholera and
smallpox. Fugitives, scattered in all
directions and stricken in flight, were
found dying in fields und roadside
ditches. The numbers at one relief sta
tion were increasing at tho rate of 10,
(XX) per day.
"At Gcxlhera there wore 8,000 deaths
from cholera within fonr days, and nt
Dohnd 3, 500 in thesnme period. The
hospital death rate at Godhera and
Dohnd was !K) percent.
"The condition of the stricken simply
beggurs description1 Air nnd water
were impregnated with an intolerable
stench of corpses. At Ahmcdndnb tho
death rate in tho poorhonso was 10 per
cent.' Every day saw new patients
placed face to face with corpses. In
every fourth cot thero was a corpse.
"The thermometer read 115 in the
sluide. Millions of flies hoverod around
the niK-leimed dysentery taticuts.
"I visited tho smallpox nnd cholera
wards at Yirngum. All the patients
were lying on tho ground, thero being
no cots. Otherwise their condition was
fair.
"I can fully verify the reports that
vultures, dogs and jackals are devour
ing tho dead. Dogs havo been seen
running about with children's limbs iu
their jaws.
"Tho government is doing its best,
tmt tho native oiliciuls are hopelessly
nnd heartily inefficient. Between tho
famine, the plague and the cholera, the
condition of Ikimlmy Presidency is now
worse than it has been at any previou
period in the nineteenth century.
Whole families havo been blotted out.
Tho spirit of the people is broken, nnd
there may bo something still worso to
come when the moon breaks."

In Captured Saddlebags.
Vioan, Luzon, Juno 2, via Manila,
Juno 4. Major March, with his detach
ment ' of tho Thirty-third regiment,
reached Labougiiu, where Aguiualdc
had made his headquarters since March
6, on May 7. Aguinaldo had fled about
seven hours before, leaving all the
beaten trails nnd traveling through tin
forest along tho beds of streams. To
ward evening. May 10, Major March
Atrack Aguinaldo's outpost about a mile
outside of Lngat, killing four Filipinos
and capturing two. From tho latter he
learned that Aguinaldo had camped
there for the night.
Although exhausted and half starved,
Major March's men entered Lagnt on
the run. They saw tho insurgents scat
tering into the bushes or over tho pla
teau. A thousand yards beyond tho
town, on the mouutaiusido, tho figures
of 25 Filipinos, dressed in whtte, with
their leader on a gray horse, were sil
houetted against tho sunset. Tho Ameri
cans fired a volley and saw tho officer
drop from his horso. His followers fled,
carrying tho body.
The Americans, on reaching the spot,
caught the horso, which was richly sad
dled. Blood from a badly -wounded
man was on the nuimal and on the
ground. The saddle lmgs contained
Aguinaldo's diary nnd somo private
pnjH'rs, including proclamations. One
of these was addressed:
"To the Civilized Nations." It pro

WORK OF CON GUESS.
BUSIEST SESSION, SO OFFICIALS 3AY,
IN MANY YEARS.
Financial Law AeeoiiipllHlied Meanre to
Aid Torto Itleon I'niMed A Form .it
Government and Mean of Itiiinlng
Itereiiue For Inland Adopted.
Washington, Juno 4. The record of
tho first session of tho Fifty-sixth con
gress is now practically closed, nnd it is
possiblo to survey tho important work it
has accomplished during the last six
mouths. It has been a busy congress,
busiest, according to veteran officials, in
many years. In some respects tho work
has been less exciting t'ti that of the
preceding congress, which covered tho
dramatic period when war was declared
against Spain, nnd also tho period of
reconstruction and treaty making with
Spain following tho successful closo ol
tho war. Iu work actually accom
plished and stnrted toward accomplish
ment, the record of the present session
stands well iu comparison with tiie most
energetic congresses.
Our new territorial possessions have
received much attention and while
there has been no doflnito action ns to
as to tho Philippines or Cuba, a
form of government, and a means of
raising revenue has been provided for
Porto Rico, nnd a comprehonsivo terri
torial form of government has been
given to Hawaii. The financial act has
mnde importnut changes in the laws re
lating to the parity of metnls, the
bonded indebtedness, national bnuks
aud tho security of the treasury by a
gold reserve. The Nicoraguau canal
bill has passed the house und is on the
calendar cf tho senote ready for atten
tion when congress reconvenes. Tho
anti-trust bill is similarly advanced. Tht
trust constitutional amendment has a
defeat, recorded against it.
The Pacific cable measure has passed
the senato and is awaiting final action
in the house. The exclusion of Brig
ham II. Robert, from a seat in tho
house because of his polygamous status,
the refusal of the senate to admit Mr.
Quay on appointment of the governor
of Pennsylvouin, and the sensational
chnrgo, investigation and developments
in tho senate iu the case of Mr. Clark,
of Montana, havo added some exciting
personal phases to the session. Investi
gations have 'been profile, including tho
inquiry into the Cotter d'Aleue mining
riots in Idaho, tho various inquiries on
polygamy growing out of the Roberts
case, and more recently the senate in
vestigation of tho postal and other ir
regularities in Cuba.
The total of appropriations cannot yet
bo stated with exactness, as five bills
are landing, hut it is approximately
$700,000,000 for tho session.
The senate, iu executive session, has
been occupied to a considerable extent
with important treaties. Of these the
treaUes with Great Britain and Ger
many closing the tripartite government
in Samoa and awarding to tho United
States the island of Tatnila. with its
valualilo hnrlxir of Pago Pago, has been
ratified, whilo tho commercial recip
rocity treaties with France and the
British West Indian islands, and the
Hay-Pnnncefote treaty concerning the
iuter-oceonio canal, go over without
action.
Of the legislation actually accom
plished and now on tne statute Ixxiks,
tho financial act is regarded as the chief
achievement of tho year.
An act providing a tariff 15 per cent
of the Dingley rate for Porto Rico and
providing civil government passed, also
on the president's recommendation nil
act was passed appropriating for tho
use of Porto Rico, tho $2,0!I3,455 col
lected from island sources since its ac
quisition. An act also passed to provide a gov
ernment for the territory of Hawaii.
. Tho Philippines and Cuba have occu
pied much attention in the way of de
bate aud the adoption of resolutions of
inquiry. The Spooner Philippine bill
failed to le aetod upon. The only legis
lation ns to Cuba is of a comparatively
minor character, relating to Cuban
shipping.
Tho extradition bill, applying to all
insular possessions and dojendencies,
hns passed both houses and doubtless
become a law. It is designed mainly
to reach eases like that of Charles F.
W. Neely.
Tho Nicm-ttgtMU canal bill and tho
shipping subsidy bill are notable in
stances of legislation partly advunoed
during the present session, but not en
acted into law. Tho canal till passed
tho house and was niado the sjiecial
order iu tho senate beginning December
10, next. The shipping bill is on the
calendar of each house with favorable
recommendation from a majority mem
bership of the senate and house com
mittees. Anti-trust legislation hns come promi
nently into attention in the house at tho
close of tho session, tho house having
passed a new anti-trust bill and defeated
a constitutional amendment.
The senate has passed a bill for a cable
to the Philippines and beyond, to be
constructed and maintained under gov
ernment control, but uo action has been
ken on it in the house.
The restriction of oleomargarine has
liecn productive of considerable agita
tion, mainly in committees, and a rad
ical restrictive bill hns been reported to
the house.
Tho general icusiou laws havo been
materially changed by tho present
congress, largely as a result of tho ef
forts of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic which si-cured tho passage of a bill
amending the law of June 27, 181)0, so
ns to jicrniit the "aggregating" of dis
abilities, and changing the provision us
to widows so tlmt a widow may receive
pension when sho is without means of
upisirt other than her daily labor, mi l
luid an actual not income not excluding
2u0, e-c.
Tho "free homes" act has at hist
lwuome a luw. It provides for the Ti-
tenting. of homesteads on the publio
hinds acquired from the Indians, on
the payment of the usual fees and no
other or further charges. This opens to
free homoHtead eutry many millions of
acres of pi.L"o lands in the west, here
tofore sold at stilted figures per acre.
Another measure passed of some gen
eral interest permits the secretary of
agriculture to restore game birds, which
are lecoming extinct, and 'provides
means for the restriction of traffic in
dead animals, birds, etc.. from state to
state, the latter provision being iu part
designed to limit the destruction of
song birds for the sale of their plumage.
Considerable legislation is carried on
appropriation bills. These provisions in
clude tho amendment to the military
academy bill, making the commanding
general of the army a lieutenant gen
eral, and tho adjutant general of tho
army a major general; also the amend
ment to the sundry civil bill appropriat
ing 5,000,000 for the St. Louis exposi
tion. Both of those bills are still pend
ing. The naval appropriation bill adds two
battleships, three armored cruisers,
three protected cruisers and five sub
marine boats to the naval strength and
mny include special legislation, as to
ormor plate and a government plant,.
The other appropriation bills in the
main carry tho usual government sup
plies. The Alnska code bill, giving a com
plete civil system of laws to tho terri
tory, has passed both houses and un
doubtedly will become a law.
Other measures which have passed
one house or tho other, but which art
still pending, include thosa for the elec
tion of senators by the people; authoriz
ing the president to appoint a commit
tee to study commercial conditions in
China and Japan; for increasing the ef
ficiency of the army by making stafi
service in the corps temporary; extend
ing the eight-hour law; increasing th
annual allowonce to the militia of the
country from $100,000 to tl.000,000.
LOWER LEVEL OF PRICES.
Dun' Review Note a Kti-ady I'rogre trt
It, For Chief Material of
Induntry.
New York, June 2. R. G. Dun A
Co. 's weekly review of trado, issued to
day, said iu part:
While returns of failures in Mny by
branches of business cnunot bo given
until next week, it cnu be stated that
not more than six mouths in more than
six years havo shown as largo defaulted
liabilities as May will show; owing to
the failure of a firm principally en
gaged in cotton brokerage.
The most conspicuous feature of do
mestic news is the steady progress to
ward a lower level of prices for the
chief mnterials of industry. Without
excitemont and with very small lessa,
it is believed tho smallest ever recorded
in May nt tho three chief eastern mar
kets except in 1SS):I, pricos of wool have
declined so that tho 100 quotations in
Coates Bros.' circular would average
about 21.84 cents, against 24.72 nt the
highest point Feb. 1 and 18.16 cents a
year ago.
The doclino in pig iron continues,
Grey forgo reaching lllSO at Pittsburg,
No. 1 local coke $22 at Chicago, No. 1
anthracite and Bessemer $22 at Philn)
delphio, aud Lehigh No. 1 $21 here.
Only small chnnges have apjieared dur
ing the week in prices of finished prod
ucts, but these are toward lownres.fierg,
There are enrrent statements that some
of tho properties just taken by the
Steel Sheet company hnve been sold
back to former owners, and that prop
erties' of the Steel Hoop company will
be divided likewise, but it is not at all
surprising if a few out of so ninny
combinations result in the disapixiint
mcut of some.
Probably a lower quotation for Besse
mer pig inn j bo accepted by tho associa
tion in the central region for thetterya
half of tho year, as the closing of many
works, owing to reduced demand, may
leave these fnniaces without full em
ployment. The acceptance of two large
contracts for export, one for 100,000 by
southern works, is a good sign.
Failures for the week havo lcen Itifl
in tho United States, ngainst 14") last
year, aud 21 in Canada, against 140 last
year.
