CT The first direct appeal for deficiency,
In the Mexican War, is made in the following
correspondence submitted to the House of Rep
resentatives by the Secretary of War, on the
22nd nit. No doubt large, very large claims
will be made beside this to exc out the expen-
scs to lst of July next, to which the estimates
and appropriations are previously made. This
deficiency at six months before the expiration
of the fiscal year for which appropriations were
made, and this too for 81, 200, 900 to pay ar
rearages in one only of the departments, Com
missary of Subsistence, is certainly alarming.
WAR DEPARTMENT.
Washington, December II, 1917.
SIR: | have the honor to lay before YOU a let
ter from the comnissary general, showing the
pressing necessity of an early appropriation for
the deficiency in the commissary department. 1t
IS exceedingly important to. the public service
that Immediate provision should be made to
meet the deficiencies not only in that depart
partment, but also those in the other branches
of the War Department, for which estimates
have been made and submitted to Congress-
Any delay in this respect will be highly detri-
mental to the public interest.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant. p

OFFIcE OF CoMmIssARY GEH.o SUBSISTENCE
WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1917.
SIR: / have the honor to report that the an.
propriatIons applicable to '.army subsistence
are nearly exhausted.
The whole sum now remaining to the credit
of such appropriations does not exceed sixty
thousand dollars; and that sum is absolutel,
necessary to meet the demands of the recruit
ing service.
Recent information from the principal com
missarles of subsistence in Mexico, makes /
necessary for me to respectfully ask that thC
early attention Of Congress, may be called IL
my "estimate'' of the 9th of November. il
which the deficiency in the former appropria
tionsis stated, as drafts to the amount of five
hundred thousand dollars may be daily expect
ed to reach the United States, and, as above
shown, this department has no means of pay
ing them.
Most respectfully your obedient servant,

FREAKS OF A MEXICAN BULL.-In an
Interesting letter to the Philadelphia North
American, dated Puebla, 9Th August, We find
the following humorous accounts of an inpromp-
tn "bull-fght;'
About a week since Generals Scott, Twiggs
and Shields, with an escort of dragons, and
the ID and 18th infantry, made an excursion to
the site OF the ancient Aztec city, and | joined
it. About two miles from Puebla a ~laughable
incident occurred, though it we'll nigh ended
in a tragedy. The infantry were ascending an
easy slope, when two Mexicans came along
with a powerful bull, which one of them held
by alasso over the horns, while the other urg-
ed him along with a goad. The animal be-
came FESTIVE as the soldiers passed, and finally
breaking away from those who held him, charg-
ed the left flank. carrying soldier through the
ranks on his horns, and landing him in the mud
on the opposite side Of the road.-The two
men finally got hold of the lasso again, and
were getting him along very well, when four
of us civilians came along on horses. Then he
began to plunge and paw the ground, and one
of the Mexicans who got in front of the beast
to beat him still, was tossed clear over the bulls
back.
The infatuated creature then pitchedinto the
fOblCAs oIO llIiOf lllS Hill III dOOul wv lSSb VI
mud and water, gored and ducked him for sew
eral seconds. All the horsemen rode up and
succeeded in driving the animal from his prey
when he turned and put after us, more infuria-
ted than ever. As we had no arms, and die
not choose to have our horses ruined, there was
some pretty stall walking" for short distance
The animal ran down the column till near the
head of the 7th Regiment, and then charged
again, making a pretty wide breach in the
ranks. After satisfying himself that the Eth
was "no where" when he was about, he made
a rush on the I'd. The boys had time to fl,
their bayonets, however, and met our frient
so cody. that after receiving five or six bayo
net wounds he hauled off and gave up the bat
tie. Ina few oments | saw him lassoed by
horseman and pulled along towards the city
bleeding profusely, and looking quite c~rest-fal-
len. He had evidently been deceived in hi:
first charge, and seeing ne bayonets, probably
did not reckon on finding any on his second
splurge. But he can (if the butchers have no
killed him, which l strongly suspect,) console
himself with the fact that he made more con
sternation among two regiments of the U. s
Infantry than a thousand two-legged Mexicanl
could have done.
