Official Paper of tha Ordinary
afSpaldlng county and Ike CHy
Griffin-
The following figures touching the
losses during the war, are approximate*
ly correct: Americans killed or died
from wounds, 608; wounded* 1,408;
Spaniards, killed or died from wounds,
1300; wounded, 3,075.
The Philippine que»tion is heated
from end to end. It must be confess
ed that it is very bard to take bold of.
The government and people of the
United States have done so well up to
date, however, tbarl there is the richest
ground for hope of a good solution,
that will justify this country without
a too Vtolent wrenching of traditions
that are as sacred as the Declaration
of Independence and tbe constitution.
—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tbe Spanish people are having con
siderable difficulty in finding any
sunshine for themselves In tbe peace
protocol, in spite of the explanation
which was given out by the Madrid
government. Tbe whole difficulty lies
in the lent that tbe Spanish people
have not been able to realise up to
date just bow badly they were whip
ped. When they do, they may begin
to realise that they have been allowed
to fall on a feather bed, so to speak.
The four big vessels, the Almiraote
Oquendo, Cristobal Colon, lolanta
Maria Teresa and Viscaya, coat about
13,000,000 "apiece. Ton other vessels,
at least, have belt destroyed or cap
tured, which coot at a low average
about 1600,000 each. That gives a
total lose of 118,000,000 in vessels
alone at the lowest estimate. Spanish
newspapers say that the loos of Cer
vera’s fleet caused a money loss of
120,000,000.
The war has shown the effective
handling of a fleet but once—at Mani
la. Tbe battle off Santiago was the
struggle of seperate ships. Our bom
bardments were ineffective. At San
Juan tbe expenditure of half a million
dollars io ammunition hardly silenced
a gun. At Santiago we shot away
two million dollars without effectively
impairing tbe fighting power of the
enemy. Doubtless wo have many offi
cers in our navy able to handle a fleet
well—Dewer alone has done it. —Jack-
sonville Times-Union.
Prince Bismarck's brain, according
to the flattering estimate of tbe an
thropologist, Otto Ammon, was prob
ably tbs heaviest known to anatomi
cal science. Herr Ammon, in consul
tation with Prof. Shafer, tbe sculptor,
concluded, from the measurements
taken for Sbafer'a bust, that tbe brain
of the old statesman weighed 1,876
grammes, and consequently exceeds
in weight that of any known genius,
Ouvier’s brain weighed 1,830 grammes,
Byron's 1,807; Kant's,!,6so; Schiller’s,
1,630, and Dante's 1,420, The average
weight of the brain of an intelligent
European is only 1,380 grammes.
Help for the Beconcentrados-
What about tbe reconcentradosT
Are they all dead? Little or nothing
baa been heard of them since the be
ginning of the war. -
Just before tbe war began a distin
guished United States senator, when
asked in what way it was possible to
convey food to the reconoentrados, as
proposed, said that our warships would
f;/'• blase the way.
Our warships biased tbe way, but it
ia a question whether they did it in
time to do the starving Cubans any
good. There is some speculation as
to whether any considerable number
of the reconoentrados are still alive.
If they were on the verge of starvation
when tbe war began, more than three
months ago, there is some ground for
thinking that their number must be
greatly reduced by thia-time.
The government is now taking steps

population of Cuba for several months.
Il is admitted that it will have to feed
tbe »rmy of Gen. Gomes until he offi
cers and moo can arrange to take
care of themeelvce. How long that
will be no one can predict with any
degree of certainty It is pretty safe
to «*y that the great majority <>f them
will niase no effort to. provide lor
themselves as long aenur .government
will provide rationa for them And
when their ratiore arc stopped they
may become bandita, that is » great
many ot them may, and be the cause
of an immenkO amount of trouble.
The supplying of food to Gomez’s
troops and to tbe starving people will
have tbe effect of creating a kindly
feeling among tbe Cubans tor the Uni
ted States, and will help to solve the
problem of providing a satisfactory
government tor the island The mon
ey spent tor food, therefore, ia not
likely to bo thrown away —Savannah
