MADRID. Jars 29.
According to the recently published statement con-
cerning the receipt and expenditure of public revenue,
exclusive of the supplementary credits, the deficit
amount. to 64 millions of reels, although the receipts
for this year have expstirmoed en increase of 78
millions of reale, the greater part of which consists
of fines paid by retardator tax-payers, and about 20
millions of reels reduced by the reform in the cus-
toms. The money sped in interest upon the floating
debt is upwards of 8 millions, and the capital 157
millions of orals. At the end of the year the incon-
veniences of this system, which keeps itself up by
borrowing, will be deeply felt. Nothing definitive
has yet been done with respect to the war ministry,
and General Figueras still remains, because it has
not yet been decided on who shall succeed him. The
affairs of Cuba appeared to give Nervier en oppor-
tunity of getting rid of Concha, who was offered the
viceroyship of that island. Concha, who is wealthy
and, besides, ambitious of being a minister, refused,
alleging ill health. His brother, Jose Conchs, in-
spector-general of the cavalry, has been talked of as
minister of war, in order to make a vacancy for
General Serrano, whom Narvsez is anxious to employ.
Concha, however, is known to be stiff-necked and
indocile, and would by no means suit the dictatorial
humour of Narrate. Nothing definitive has there-
fore been yet resolved upon.
