"Enemy's dead left on the field, twenty-six thousand five hundred." This is the report of the Japanese Hold marshal. It indicates a slaughter unknown iu historical records. Of course, since the Japanese were the assailants, their losses must hare been quite as great, or greatei. The wounded in eithfr army must have been three times as many as the slain. This estimate would raise the casualties on both ides to 100,000 The bloodest battle of modern times, hitherto, was that of Borodino, before Moscow, in 1812, where the Russian loss waB 18,000 killed and 40,000 wounded, and the 'reach loss 12,000 killed and 30,000 ounded.
