DEFICIT FOR THE FISCAL

Excess Of Expenditures Over Receipts Since
June 80, 1893, Sis, $3.50. OOO-Available
Cash Balance ON Hand $4,000, 900
Receipts Greater Than Last Year.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The treasury
deficit for the fiscal year just closed is
found by to-day's debt statement to be
approximately S43, $50, 900. This added
to last years deficit of neatly SO, 900. :
600 makes the excess of expenditures
over receipts since June 30, 1898, about
$l13, $50, 900. The total receipts of the
government this fiscal year, exclusive
of postal revenues, amount to nearly
1913, 0O0, 900, and the expenditures to
1886, $50, 900, of which pensions took
Sal, 39i ,523. Last year the aggregate
receipts, exclusive of postal revenues,
were 1927, 722.O 19, and the expendi-
lures $780,, 525,279 The receipts this
year, therefore, were Sis, 2.s, 900 great
er than last and the expenditures about
SLIPS, 900 less. The postal service
deficit is about Sill, 600, 900. which is
considerably in excess Of that of any

makes better showing than last by
about S2i, 900, 600. Last year the re-
ceipts from this source amounted to
nearly Sl32, 900, 900 and this year they
approximate Sl.3, 100000. OF this
amount sugar contributed about Si7,-
5000.
The debt statement shows an avail
able cash balance of about Sl95, 900 900,
of which about S,O7 800, 900 is gold re-
serve. This reserve includes payment
in full for the last bond issue, but the
statement shows a counter debt charge
of only S31, 157, 200 in bonds, or one
half of the whole amount issued.
In explanation of this seeming error,
it is said the formal transfer Of the
London half of the bonds has not yet
been made. The expenditures for July
will be exceptionally heavy. Pensions
and interest alone are expected to
amount to S2O,OO0,O0O

Pleading for BOlln.

OMAHA, Neb.. July There is much
discussion in Omaha as to whether or
not defaulting Treasurer Henry Bolln
shall be prosecuted. The record shows
that at least SIS, 900 of city funds were
missing when Bolln was depossd AS
this was made good by bondsmen and
the city lost nothing, some were for
letting Bolln escape further punish
ment. Acting City Attorney Cornish
has created sensation by wiring a
letter to the mayor advising him not
to further prosecute Bolln. No steps
have yet been taken to arrest Bolln.
If one warrant is issued, many others
must be, for many politicians are
guilty of participation in the deal.

Oklahoma City Jail Make Their Escape
During . Shower Of Secretly
Had Weapons In Their Cells.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Ok. July las
the result of a jail delivery at this
point at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
two people are dead and several are
wounded more or less severely.
When Jailer Carver entered the coz
ridor of the Jail at the usual time to
lock the prisoners in their cells. Vic
Casey, Robert Christian and William
Christian made savage onslaught on
him with weapons they had managed
to secrete. He was struck a terrific
blow over the right eye and knocked
insensible.
The prisoners dashed over his body
and away to freedom, scattering the
people off the crowded streets and
keeping at bay their pursuers with
rapid discharge of revolvers. which, in
some mysterious manner, they had OBJ
tanned. Vic Casey jumped into pass
ing vehicle containing a man and a
woman, and at the point of q pistol
compelled them to jump out. Almost
before they had time to obey his COM
mand Chief of Police Milt Jones
opened fire on the escaping prisoner,
who promptly returned the fire.
A perfect fusilade then took place
between the two Christians, Casey and
several officers, in which Casey and
Officer Jones were instantly killed,
one man shot through the leg and a
woman slightly wounded by a spent
bullet.
One of the Christians then mounted
the dead officers horse, while the
other compelled a man to get oHt of
buggy and drove furiously out into
the country, closely pursued by posse
of Infatuated citizens - Bloodhounds
we're brought into requisition, and
there IS but little doubt that they will
be captured. Should they be caught,
a double lynching will surely follow.
Vic Casey was 10 years old. He
killed Deputy Marshal Sam Ferris at
Yukon, Ok, last summer. He would
have been released on bond to-day.
Bob and Will Christian were noted
thugs and desperadoes, and were con-
fined on the charge of killing Deputy
Marshal Turner of Tecumseh, Ok. ,
some several months ago.

Head of the Cuban Instruction VIII Be
Shot-Taken by Spanish Troops.
MADRID, July 1.-General Antonio
Maceo, the Cuban insurgent leader,
has been captured by Spanish troops
and consigned to prison pending orders
from Captain General Martinez de
Campos. There is no question but that
he will be tried at once by court mar
tial and summarily shot. This is re-
garded here as the best news from
Cuba, which could be received at
present, except, of course, the collapse
of the revolution. Maceo's capture, it
is held, means even more than the
death of Marti, the so-called president
of the republic of Cuba, for Maceo has
been acknowledged by every body as

lion and has on more than one occa-
sion shown himself a clever general,
