The Fciieldn Friday, March 17th, 190% l t-Progress of the Campaign. No news since the fall of Port Arthur ;has created so- great a- sensation as the following, which appeared V under the heading "' A Fearful,List of Casual ties." in Monday’s Globe : Japanese Legation has received the fol- lowing cablegram from the Foreign Office at Tokio, dated to-day ': ' ‘ . “The armies on'thzo Shakhe quarter following approximate figures, which are still increasing : “ Prisoners over 40,000, including Major-General Nachmoss. “ Russian corpses on the field, 26,- 500. ‘ , , “ Other Russian casualties, 90:000. ’ “Trophies 1: Two ensigns, 60 guns, 1,000 armywaggons, 200,000 shells, 25,000,000 shots for rifles, 74,000 bush 'cls of grain, materials for light railroad for 46 miles, 300 waggons for light read, 2,000 horses, 23 Chinese carts full of maps. 1.000 Chinese carts full of clothing, l.000,000 portions of~' bread. bushels of horse allovmnces and 125,000 tons of bay. “The report from the-Singking quar- ter has not yet been received. “ Our total casualties since the 26th of February to the morning of the 12th 50f March were 41,222.” _ ' That the war will end in theihutter defeat and humiliation of Russia may now be considered certain; but if the Czar adheres to his alleged determina- tion to levy more soldiers to fill the fear- ful gaps in his army caused: by death, wounds and capture, the bloody strug- gle may continue for some time longer. «Both nations are believed to be anxious ‘for peaceâ€"Russia because she can have _.no hope of"vietory; and Japan because the coat of the war affects her more seriously than it affects her more weal- thy opponent. General Sherman’s oft- quoted declaration that “ war is hell ” will be believed by all who read of the contending armies, and that terms of lpr'ace may soon be agreed upon is car- nestly hopcd‘by all who realise the her- rors of the struggle. In some parts of Russia. there are , already uprisings against landlords, officials and capital- ists, many of whom have been murder- ed, and it is impossible to predict how far the revolutionary spirit may spread. â€"~â€"~m .Vi'll'age Council.
