JAPANESE CASUALTIES IN THE LATE WAR.
REMARKABLE FIGURES.
In the considerable number of books on the war between Russia and Japan, which have been published in this country, very little, says a correspondent of the "Lancet," can be gleaned regarding the losses of the latter Power. The following returns collated by Dr. Koike Masano, chief surgeon of the Japanese army will come as a surprise to many who thought themselves conversant with the events of the campaign. The total casualties reached the enormous number of 632,690. Of these 97,387 were killed in action, or died from wounds, and the number of wounded is given at 260,'812. Diseases of the field armies amounted to 236,223, while in Japan and Formosa 107,850 sick soldiers were reported. Over 10.000 men were engaged in attendance to the wounded and invalids.
