For the purpose of comparison, a statement of casualties and percentages, in a number of battles from Blenheim in 1704 to Tel-el-Kebir in 1882, is given. The figures are gathered from various sources, but the writer is largely indebted to a table given by Lieutenant Colonel Henderson of the British army, in"his work on Stonewall Jackson. Colonel Henderson is now on his way to South Africa ag a member of Lord Roberts’ staff. Note—The first named combatant in each case is considered as the victor, and as a rule held the field.

The Boers report a loss of 8 killed and 9 wounded out At Magersfontein December 11 Lord Methuen’s force of some 12,000 men attacked about the same number of Boers. His total loss in killed and wound- ed and prisoners was 963, less than 9 per cent of the force engaged. At Tugela River December 15 General Sir Redvers Buller out of some 24,- 000 men lost 750 men killed and wounded, a little over 3 per cent, when he retired from the field, leaving behind eleven guns. In the face of these figures two conclusions are to be reached. First: modern warfare is not so deadly as in times gone by. That Second: That the staying powers of the British soldiers are not what they were on former fields.

MARYS BAY IDENTIFIED Little Doubt That It Was the Heli- goland of the Deutsche-American Petroleum Company. BOSTON, Jan. 16—The Chamber of Commerce this afternoon issued a bulletin saying that part of a ship's boat marked Heligoland had been picked up off Cape Pine, N. F., which leads to the belief that the steamer wrecked at St. Marys Ba on Thursday last was the German tan steamer Heilgoland, Captain von Rittern, which sailed from Philadelphia on Janu~ ary 5 for Bergen, Norway. The Heligo- land was built at'Newcastle, England, in 15% apd registers 1563 .tons. e was owned by the Deutsche-American Petro- leum Company. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Jan. 16.—Everything goes to show that the wrecked steamer is the Heligoland, the property of the Deutsche-American Petroleum Company. Among a number of flags picked up this e\'(-vllnf near Holy Rood was one with the colors blue, white and red, with the letter “R” in_ the center. This ie the house flag of that company. Taken with the finding of the boat off Cape Pine, it seems to leave no doubt as to the identity of the vessel. A life buoy was also picked up with the name of the steamer painted on it, but the let- tering was partly illegible from fire and water. In other respects, however, the day's operations by the steamers and fishermen were disappointing. The former had to abandon work owing to the heavy sea, as they could not approach the wreck, and the boats found the task equally dif- ficult and were obliged to abandon it ear- y. Landsmen were unable to get down 1o the beach and, therefore, unable to re- cover the bodies which have been lying there exposed five days and nights. Four bodies are now ashore and can be reached when the sea becomes smooth., There are five others in ‘the wreckage near the :lu . Still others were seen drifting south 0-day.

SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 16.—The Treas- ury Department is considering the advisa- bility of removing the United States Cus- tom-house from Marys Island, Alaska, to Ketchikan, In compliance with recom. mendations made last September by Spe- clal Agent Linck. Such a_ change will meet with the approval of all of the steamship companies operating between Puget Sound ports and Alaska. A trans- fer of the office to Ketchikan is recom- mended by the treasury’s agent upon the ?’rvund chiefly of the absence of wharf acilities at Marys Island. Ketchikan has long been a regular port of call for Alaska vessels and is more accessible. These reasons are also the ones put forth by the navigation companies desirous of the change. NEARLY HANGED ON CHARGE OF SPYING Unpleasant Predicament of Howard | boy: Burnham, a Californian, in South Africa. Special Dispatch to The Call. PASADENA, Jan. 16.—Relatives of Howard Burnham of this city have been informed that he is in an unpleasant po- sition in South Africa and awaits funds from them to get him out of it. Burn- ham is a brother of Fred Burnham, the famous African scout who has just been appointed to Lord Roberts' staff. They were both Pasadena boys.

An effort by Pettigrew to amend it so as to call for the President’'s instructions to the Paris Peace Commissioners led w0 a prolonged debate. After the Senate had considered the matter behind closed doors, the amendment was rejected by a vote of 4l to_20. | The debate for the day was eoncluded by Vest, who made a notable speech in opposition to the assumption in some quarters that every. man who does not | agree with the policy of the administra- tion is a traitor to his country.

LONG AND BRADFORD E ARGUE FOR A CABLE Demonstrate the Feasibility of the Proposed Line From San Fran- | cisco to Manila. |1 WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Secretary Long and Rear Admiral Bradford appear- ed before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs to-day in advocacy of the co: struction of a Pacific cable by the Gov- | ernment. The Secretary's statement was | general and related entirely to the feas bility of the plan and its advantage over having the work done bwarh'mp enter- prise. Rear Admiral Bradford detailed the operations of the colller Nero, which is now engaged in making a pretiminary jurvey of the proposed line west of Hono- lulu. He said the survey had been con pleted and the Nero was now on its re- turn, making a “zigzag” survey. According to the reports made of the preliminary work, the proposed cable was entirely practicable. It is to run from San Francisco to Honolulu, thence via the Midway Isiands and Guam to Din- gala Bay, Island of Luzon, with a spur | for commercial purposes to Yokohama. | The average depth between Honolulu and | Midway is 2700 fathoms; between Midway | and Guam, 3000, and between Guam and | Luzon, 2300.
