THE DEBT STATEMENT.
Reasons Why II Will Be Issued in New
Form.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-An explanation of
the change in the form OF the debt state
ment issued yesterday and the reason there
for Is made by the Secretary of the Treasury
lie calls attention to certain changes in the
m onihly debt statement issued for June.
1891, and the daily statements of cash in the
Treasury. Heretofore the manner of making
up the monthly statement +, quired the show
ing of the increase or decrease in the public
debt Undec this form it happened on sew
eral occasions. when large purchases of
bonds were made, the statement following
would show an increase in the public debt
when reduction really had been effected.
This was owing to the fact thatthe principal
and premium paid for bonds reduced the
cash on hand beyond the amount of bonds
actually redeemed. The Secretary con-
cluded to separate the statement of the debt
from the statement of the cash in the Treas
ury. Hereafter the statement of cash on
hand Will show an Increase from month to
mouth, and this statement Will be part OF the
form now adopted. In making up new
statement OF the cash in the Treasury, the
figures will show the different kinds of
money included in The total. Against this
total will be stated the cash liabilities. These
items have heretofore been eliminated. The
Secretary will not hereafter deduct from his
cash balance the amount on deposit in the
national banks, nor The fractional silver
coin on hand he thinks there is no good
reason why this should ever have been done.
APPROVED BY BANKERS.
NEW YORK, July 2.-The Tribune has in
tervlewed a number Of prominent bankers
con corning the change in the form of max
ing up the monthly debt statement by the
Treasury Department. The President of
the Chase National Bank thinks the change
step toward simplifying what has for
some time complicated the balance sheet.
The items dropped would not have ap-
peared in the statements of the bankers of
England and France. S. V. White, a prom
lnent banker, thinks the new form sensible
in that it conforms to facts, and says there
never was any sense in not counting the de-
pOsits in national banks as available assets.
President Ives of the Western National
Bank thinks the new form entirely nat
ural and proper one. Henry Clews thinks
the statement perfectly honest and
straightforward. The new method makes
1t clear that the Government has a hundred
million reserve fund against the legal
tenuers, aud it will strengthen the credit of
the Government accordingly. Most people
had forgotten that there was such a fund.-
The Tribune editorialy praises the new
Treasury statement, and says the misrep-
RESERVATIONS concerning the ability of the
Treasury to meet all probable demands are
effectively cleared away.

LONDON, July 2.-The Posts Berlin cor

sotiated that the signatures to the Dreibund
treaty should be attached there instead of
At Vienna, as formerly. The new alliance
Is based upon three treaties. the new one

rumored that the German Government has
promised the influence of German financiers
TO assist Italy in her financial difficulties al
IN inducement for her to adhere to the
Dreiound. The formal adherence Of En-
gland is question, but her tacit support is
recognized as extremely valuable, as in the
event of war in Europe the central powers
would be dependent upon the British col
Onies and America for corn and meat the
fleets of the Dreibund being too small to
rope with the allied fleets of France and

BURNING FIERCELY.
The Fire at Mount TamalpaiS Causing
Great Anxiety In San Rafael.

SAN RAFAEL, July 2.-It was thought
that the forest fire on Tamalpais was
at an end, but this afternoon the re-
port that the fire had been eXtinguished
was diSproved. About O'Clock messages
were received here stating that the fire had
again started in Bill Williams Gulch and
was rapidly burning its way in the direc-
ton of the water works, near the summit
of Mount TamalpaiS. This report was
doubted at first, but soon telephone mes
sages were received at the Office of the
water company asking that more men be
sent. as their works and buildings were in
danger of being destroyed The officers of
the water company Immediately started out
to find men, and after an hours work were
enabled to secure ten fresh men. those who
have been fighting the fire for the past four
days being completely worked out. TIE
course the fire from Bill Williams Gulch
has taken has caused a great deal of anxiety
here. The mains of the water company from
their reservoir at Laguntas run through
the district which is now burning.
Close to LagunitaS Lake, the source of
supply to San Rafael. is an immense wooden
hopper which receives water from the lake.
and from the hopper it is run into the main
pipe supplying the town of San Rafael and
also San Quentin and the State Prison.
This is in imminent danger of being burned
down, and, should this occur, San Rafael
would suffer a water famine until the hopper
and bridges could be repaired, and owing to
the condition of the ground and the fact
that it has been burned over. and there be-
ing no lumber, etc, on hand, this work
would take some length of time to repair.
Another danger, no less than the above, is
that the main pipe leading from the reser-
vOir to San Rafael is at intervals supported
by trestles built entirely of wood, and the
fire now burning in tnat vicinity also causes
great anxiety. Should any of the trestles
be burned the pipes would Immediately be-
come heated and burst. or the burning OF
the trestles would tend to separate them at
the joints, thus breaking the pipes and dis
connecting the San Rafael supply.
This evening correspondent went to the
scene of the fire and found that 1t was burn
ing fiercely in the neighborhood of the
water cOmpany's dam and had crossed the
ridge, and owing to the westerly wind,
which was blowing quite brisky, the fire
was spreading in the direction of Bolinas.
1t is thought that owing to the headway
now gained. the ire will not be extin-
guished until it exhausts its vitality on the
beach near BNlinas. This evening before
sundown the smoke was so thick that the
suns rays on the ground were much similar
to those caused by an eclipse.
A report has just reached here that the
fire has again started in Cushings Gulch,
back of Mill Valley. No danger is antici-
pated here, as the fire is burning to the
nOrthward and the woods in that direction
have already been consumed by the flames,
