Secretary 1uesada at Tampa.

TAMPA. Fla, March 7.-Gonzalo Que sada, secretary of tho revolutionary party arrived here. He comes from New York but not direct. He was seen by your cor. respondent and would not say from whence ho came, where he was going ol how long he would remain. It was he who acted as courier for tho American revolutionary organization, carrying pa pers as far as Key West on Feb. 8, where they were intrusted to another, who car ried them to tho different leaders on tht island. These papers suggested that the revolution be commenced the second week in February. The leaders wrote and in. formed him on the 9th that tho date fixed for the rising was Feb. 24.
 It is learned that there Is an American yacht at Key West, and tho Spanish war ship there keeps her covered all night with her electric lights. That there is a fiji bustering expedition being organized in the vicinity is not doubted, but nothing definite can be ascertained. The presence of Quesada is significant. The secretary speaks confidently of the success of ths movement.
 Much disappointment is manifested ir the condition of the movement in eastern Cuba. The Cuban band serenaded Quesa da at Colonel Figuerdo's house last even ing, and although he was sick he address ed them briefly. Dr. Domingez also ad dressed tho crowd. Should an expedition be started from this vicinity, 5000 mer could easily be obtained, and the many harbors along the coast would afford ex cellent shelter from which such a move ment could be started. Should such & steE be taken, sailing vessels would have to b, resorted to.

indications that the Defcit for the E;...,
Xear Will Reach Sso, ooo. ooo

NS@Ch 95O,ooo,o 900.
WAsHiNGTsN, April S-From the
1asC oalIy statement issued bv the
treasury department it appears that
Cho for the current fiscal
year 10 cate, OF SSO days have exceeded
the receipts by $42, 2SS, $50, the totals
standing, expenditures, 1884 392 6S6.
receipts, $242, O93, 1876.
These hgures, which embody more
than three fouFths of the fiscal voor
show that the receipts are running Of
the rate OF. 1888, eco a day and the CIV
penditures at the rate of 81. obs OOO q
day. If the same ratio obtains for the
balance of the fiscal year, the accounts
would stand, expenditures. 1870 AK
600; receipts, 1915, 735, coo. This would
leave an excess of expenditures over
receipts of $55, 0e0, Gee. The expendi.
lures ore likely to be increased rather
than diminished.
1t IL, therefore, to increased receipts
that the Treasury must turn to bring
the receipts and expenditures closer
together and bear out the estimate laid
before Congress, which claimed that at
the end of the fiscal year the de- fciency
(Which is now $42, 600, 0Oe) will then be
only SEQ, coo, O0O.
Import statistics hold cut a hope that
the increased revenues from sugar
duties may come up to the estimates.
Indications of a general revival in COM
mercial prosperity are also pointed to
as promising equally satisfactory re-
suits from other Sources of revenue.
The question as to what amount OF
money will or will not be derived from
the income tex seems to be the only
important doubtful factor left in the
Treasury calculation, and this can only
be solved when the Suprt me Court
makes public it's decision in an authori-
tative way. This will probably be
done tomorrow.
The Treasury has now a total work
ing capital of $1S7 coo, 600, with &c.
900, 600 still owing from the bond syn
dictate. Treasury officials therefore
think that the Treasury will not be-
come embarrassed, even if no venue
from the income tax is derived, and
that it will not be necessary to issue
any more bonds before Congress will
assemble next December and provide
revenue from other sources.
