aggregate sum due and payable on the
1st day of January of $41S,000.
For the payment of this sum 1t is fair
to presume that the state will have as
large an income in January next as was
received in January last; most likely 1t
will be larger, because the receipts during
the present month are smaller than they
were one year ago, while the assessments
are substantially the same, and If the
same be true of the receipts in Decem-
Der the probability is that they will be
corrrespondingly larger in the early days
of January.
Last January the report of the treas
urer shows that within the first nine days
of that month there were received $478,-
150, which would pay the alleged def
cheney corrected as above stated and $780,
900 over. Continuing the comparison
of receipts 7 which may be rea-
sonab1y expected up to Jan. Is. the
day when the 100000 note will be due,
and there will be on that date in the
treasury s13S,351 which will pay said
note, the interest thereon, and leave over
$35, 900 in the treasury.
Then should the receipts continue day
by day equal to those of last January
there will be on the last day of the month
in the treasury, after making the afore-
said payments, S140,000
The following Is table taken from the
report of the treasurer showing that last
January the treasury received $660,625 25.79

The receipts last February aggregated
$269, 9,070.
Last year the claims maturing Janu-
ary l, were as great as they will be next
January with the exception or ABOUT
$34, 900 increase in the amount of the semi
annual payment of the interest on the
bonded debt and about $4,000 to the IN
dustrial for white girls. But last year
the temporary loan as shown by the re-
port of said joint committee aggregated
$51O, 900 and $7,S50.75 interest and expenses
theron, all Of which were paid by the
first of February, and the other liabilities
to the full satisfaction of the holders
thereof.
In 1895, January 1, the liabilities were
larger than they were last, or will be this
January, and yet they were paid with
such slight delay that but little COM
plant was heard.
l know from two years actual expert
ence and observation that the Univer-
sity, the Agricultural and Mechanical
college, the Bryce Insane hospital, the
Institute for the Deaf and Blind, and the
agricultural schools whenever informed
that the money in the treasury is run
ming low very readily accepts one half
the amount of the warrants due them re-
spectively, and wait a month, or six
weeks, for the remainder.
/ am clearly of opinion that no diffi-
Guilty will be experienced In the pay
ment of the claims against the state DUR
ing the months of January and Febru-
ary, and that there is no necessity for
effecting any other temporary loan ex-
cept for few weeks in the hands of the
fiscal agents of the state in New York,
to pay the interest upon the coupon
bonds, which 1 take pleasure in assur-
ing you has already been arranged.
The fiscal year terminates with the
month of September, 1897, having begun
the 1st of october. I have not found
any reason for changing opinion express
ed In my biennial message that the de-
ficiency in the states revenue at that
time will not exceed $150,000, unless the
expenditures be increased by the present
general assembly. OF course this is but
an estimate. founded upon my own cal
culations, and those of the auditor, in
whose report to me the estimated de-
ficiency is $146,10 The amount may
vary from this a few thousand dollars,
but think it will prove to be approxi-
mately correct.

DAIRYMEN TO MEET
In This City On Or About Dec. 10-A
Very Interesting and Instruc-
se tive Letter

BY permission of Mr.. J. D. Gresham,
sanitary inspector, the State Herald pub
fishes the following letter from Mr.. Isaac
Bass, which contains much information
relative to the dairy business that the
public should be given the benefit of it.
Mr.. Bass suggests that meeting of the
Dairy association of Alabama be held in
this city about the 10th inst. Birming-
ham will gladly welcome the dairymen
and feels assured that they will accom-
plish much good along this line, of which
Birmingham especially stands sadly in
need Of: ~,
Opelka, Ala, Nov. 28, 1896.
Mr.. ]. D. Gresham, Birmingham, Ala.
Dear Sir:-At the suggestion of your
fellow townsman, Mr.. w. M. Glass,
write this letter. As milk inspector and
sanitary officer of your city have every
reason to believe that you are in full
sympathy with the Dairy Association of
Alabama. The, same wholesome laws
which should govern every city in this
line are just as applicable to the whole
state. No man has the right to perpe-
trate a fraud, and on this idea have
undertaken as president of the Alabama
Dairymen's association to enforce the
law in regard to dealers in oleomargarine.
Not wishing to infiict long letter on you,
you will pardon me for stating as sue
First, however, I should state, as you
may not be aware of 1t, that the anti-oleo-
margarine law has been passed on by the
supreme court Of the state Carried from
Montgomery city court), the decision sus-
tained the lower court, which was won
by us. Unfortunately while the law Is
all right, we have no means for It's en-
forcement, and unless we can get an ap-
preparation out of the agricultural fund
we will be forced to assess the member
ship of our association to obtain means
to indict and convict the -oleomargarine
dealers. One thousand dollars properly
applied in Alabama believe would break
it up. Birmingham is the distributing
point for Ala abama, Georgia and Florida,
and Armour's man told me last March
that they were shipping then 10000
pounds per week. This of itself would
kill any legitimate dairy industry on
earth. I shall go to Montgomery Tues
day After my return, will write Mr..
Glass at what time our dairy meeting will
be held q think now about Dec. 10.)
will appreciate IT IL you will kindly assist
him in securing a hall for our use.
send under separate cover, Laws of Wis
consin.". etc. We need a pure food and
dairy commission in Alabama, which we
will talk about. With high esteem, most
respectfully yours,
"nig ISAAC ROSS.

clare that Gen. Garcia's letter leaves no
doubt now that the report was correct.
1t states that the siege of the garrison
of 295 men In the twelve small forts in the
town lasted twelve days. When the Of
ficers surrendered the Cubans took as
prisoners all the men in charge of the
forts, which included one captain, two
lieutenants, two sub-lautenants, eighteen
sergeants, one surgeon and sixteen cor
porals. All the officers were paroled, but
the men were sent to the mountains to
work on the Cuban plantations. The
constitution of the Cuban government
provides for the release of the prisoners,
and it was the request of the men that
they were sent to the plantations, the
letter states.
The booty captured by General Gar
cia's men was a great boon to the patri-
OTIS. 1t included 500 "canteens," { a gold
piece worth $500 and other moneys ag-
gregating $4,000, 200 Hauser rifles, 125
rounds of ammunition, six pack mules,
l1aded with medicines and stores, and
500 machets, besides a quantity of CLOTH
ing.
The letter concludes by stating that the
captured soldiers preferred the protec-
ton of the Cubans to the liberty that
was offered them.
Guinamaro is in the district of Cam
aguey, and in the province of Peurto
Principe, and is three days march from
the capital of that province. 1t was said
by the Cuban leaders in this city tonight
the news of the capture of Puerto Prin-
cipe is expected daily from Cuba. GU
animaro had population of from 1000 to
5000 persons.

ters received in this city Saturday night
state that young Oscar C. Espedas, an
American citizen and correspondent
for the Key West Herald, who has been
confined in prison in Matanzas for the

court martial. His case is similar to that
of Orna Melton, the Times Union cores
pondent who has languished at Cabanis
for the past nine months. Both cases
have been reported to the state depart
iment, but hardly any attention has been
paid them. 1t is reported that young
Melton is back In the Cabanas just con-
yalescing from a case Of yellow fever,
and is in a very delicate state.

THREE NEGROES BREAK JAIL.

Opelika, Ala, Nov 30.-(Special)-A
bold Jail delivery was made here yester-
day evening in which three desperate
criminals effected their escape. They
secured soma heavy instrument and
kn0cked hole in the back part of the
Jail through which they crawled. They
then climbed the high fence surrounding
the jail yard and dropping to the ground
made desperate dash through several
negroes standing near and gained their
liberty. Policeman Mills came up with
one near the city limits and attempted to
capture him; he fought like an enraged
tiger and Mills was compelled to shoot
him In self-defense. The bullet struck
him In the head and glanced. making
scalp wound, but bringing him to the
ground. He was then jailed. All of
the escapes were negroes and named
respectively, John Bear, Bud Allen and
j. ]. Battle.

HOUNDED BY SPIES.
Col. Emilio Nunez, the Cuban Patriot,
Again in Court.


Jacksonville. Fla, Nov. 30.-Col. Emilio
Nunez, the Cuban patriot will remain
here this week and appear in the United
States court next Monday to answer the
charge of setting on foot the expedition
against Spain alleged to have been taken
out by the steamer Laurada.
Col. Nunez had a hearing In this case
last September, and evidence went to
show that If any offense had been COM
mitted it was on the high seas, but as heI
was arrested in this district he was held
for trial al the coming term of the United
States court.
Since being here last Col. Nunez has
been tried in New York for virtually the
same offense. The trial resulted In the
disagreement of the jury, and 1t is posi-
bic that the case may be nolle pressed.
Since the beginning of the Cuban war,
Col. Nunez has been bounded from one
end of this country to the other by Span
ish spies. Now that he is here 1t Is very
likely that a half dozen more spies will
make their appearance in day or two.
