The Times I prints what purports to be a full and unceDSored list of fatalities in the American armv in the Philippines np to June 2. The list was furnished by Fred J. Eitel, a representative of the Manila Freedom, who claims to have obtained it from the records in the surgeon sur-geon general's ollice at Manila. The total number of fatalities is 73G 23 officers, CU'J privates and 14 civilians attached to the array. A remarkable feature of the record is found in the statement that the j number of officers killed in battle is out of all proportion to the number of privates killed. On the other hand, fewer officers died from disease, proportionately, pro-portionately, than privates. Out of the twenty-three officers dead sixteen were killed iu action, two were drowned and live died of disease, as follows: Typhoid, one; meningitis, two; rheumatism of heart, one; paralysis, one. Of the 099 privates, 294 died of wounds received in action, nine were killpd accidentally and twenty-three were drowned; seven committed sui-:ide; sui-:ide; 100 died of typhoid, eighty-nine of 6inallpox, forty-seven of dysentery, twenty-eight of pneumonia, nineteen of malarial fever, and fourteen of meningitis. men-ingitis.
