NAsHINGToN, ID. c., January 15.-
Secretary Carlisle to Sc nator Voorhees,,
Chairman of the Finance Committee OF
the Senate:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
AsHINGToN, ID. c., Jan. l3, 1894. J
Hon. ID. W. Voorhees,. Chairman Com
mtttce on Finance, Il. =. Senate.
DEAR SIR:-In compliance with your
verbal request / have the honor TO sub
init for the consideration of the Finance
Committee OF the Senate statements
showing the actual condition OF the
treasury on the twelfth day of
the present month and an estimate OF
the receipts and expenditures during
the remainder of this month and the
month OF February. 1t will be seen
from the statements that there is an ur-
gent necessity for such immediate ac-
tion as will replenish the coin reserve
and enable this department to continue
the payment Of public expenses and
discharge the obligations Of the govern
menl to pensioners
AND LAWFUL CREDITORS.
When my annual report was prepared
IL was estimated that the expenses dur
ing the current fiscal year would exceed
the receipts to the amount OF about
SOS, 900, 900, and l asked Congress for
authority to issue and sell bonds, or
other forms OF obligations to an amount
not exceeding $50, 900, 600, bearing low
rate Of interest and having reasona-
bly, short time to run, to enable the
Secretary of the Treasury to sup
ply such deficiencies as might oc-
cur In the revenues. The esti-
made then was based upon the assump-
tion that the worst effects Of our finan-
cial distur Dances had already been real
lied, and that there would be sub
stantial increase n the revenues for
the remainder OF the year. While IL is
not believed that the deficiency then
actually existing would be supplied by
Increased revenues in the future, it is
hoped bat no additional deficiency
would o. Jur; but, the receipts and ex-
penditures during the month of Decem-
Der and up TO the twelfth day OF the
present month, show that the estimate
OF deficiency OF s2s, 600, 900 at the
close OF the year
WAS MUCH TOO Low.
According to the best estimate that
can be made. the total receipts during
the present month aud the month OF
February will be SAL 300, 600. and the
Total expenditures will be $50, 300, 600.
showing a deficiency during the two
months of SIS, 4OO,0 900. But this does
not include any payments on account of
the sugar bounty, claims for which to
the amount OF nearly So, 900, 900 have
already been presented, and are now
under investigation in the department.
The assets of the treasury and the cur
rent liabilities In excess OF certificates
and treasury notes outstanding, were
as follows on the twelfth day Of the
present month:

Admiral Benham's Instructions.

1t is believed that Admiral Benham will
be Instructed not to interfere with the COM
batants at Rio further than may be neces-
sary to protect the rights of American citi-
zens. and to make no further demonstra-
ton against the insurgents, except in self
defense, or 1t should again become neces-
sary to protect American merchantmen
The object of these Instructions, 1t is said,
is to avoid complications that might result
from further conflict with either party to
the strife.
The surrender of the insurgents to the
American admiral, 1t is said, would be most
unWelcome news to the adminIStra ton,
which is understood to be strongly stverse
to the acceptance of such a vast RESPONSE
bility as would result from protecting ard
sheltering and caring for several THOUSAND
foreign citizens. 1t is therefore believed
that Admiral Benham will be instructed to
use his good offices in bringing about peace
in some other way than by the surrender
Of the insurgents to the American forces.
To Congratulate Admiral Benham.
Representative Money Miss.) of the House
committee on naval affairs will introduce
a joint resolution in Congress congratulat-
ing Admiral Benham on his prompt action
in Rio harbor in quieting the guns of the
Insurgents.
Mr.. Money would have done so today
were IL not for the fact the informa ton in
the hands OF Congressman is of nom
official character.

Of strict international law the position is
anomalous. but practically there will be
very general sympathy with the Americans
in their decision not to permit commerce
to be absolutely crippled by the wanton and
fratricidal Brazilian struggle
letter to the Times signed Brazilian
Citizens" reviewing the revolution IN Bra
iii. declares that il is a popular movement
supported by the pockets of the civil popu-
lation of Brazil. The victory of the in
surgents. 1t says, means an era Of pros
perity, while their defeat means a contin-
uance of the war by the southern provinces
as long as the military dictatorship en-
dures. The press in Rio Janeiro, the letter
declares, has lost all it's power and all IN
dependent papers are being suppressed
A dispatch to the Chronicle from Vienna
says that the Brazilian government pur-
chased 5000 rifles from a Steyr factory
yesterday and that 10000 more have been
ordered from the Loves of Germany.
