Mr. Chapman said that as the report Of the committee
was a correction Of that of the Auditor he would take
that as the bases upon which build his future estimates
but he would remind gcntemen that the informal report
Of the committee was only estimate OF the particular
receipts and charges OF the items contained ia the Au
ditor's report lie doubted but that farther aud
fuller examination by the committee would cause them TO
increase the receipts into the treasury largely, would

for the acquisition Of Cuba by
