Governor Hastings Wants the Cause OF
the Disaster Investigated.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 6.-The men
at work in the Twin-shaft mine at
Pittston made fair progress today, ac-
cording to the official report. Mr..
Fuller, secretary of the Newton Coal
Company, produced map Of the mine
and showed what had been done, a dis
tance of about 800 feet down the slope,
or about 700 feet from the foot of the
slope, having been uncovered. Secre-
tary Fuller said that the report of the
pillars of the mine all being worked
out, leaving no support for the roof,
is untrue.
Another mass meeting was held in
Music hall tonight. Additional sub.
scriptions to the amount of 81, 400 were
received.
Governor Hastings has written to the
state mine inspectors, suggesting that
they meet at the Twin-haft mine to
investigate the cause of the recent dis.
aster. The inspectors are asked to re-
port in writing to the governor what
in their opinion was the cause of the
accident, whether any precaution was
ommitted which would have tended to
prevent it, and what legislation would
in their Judgment secure the miners of
the state immunity from risks of this
class.

Consul Lee Makes Inquiries Into the
Matter.
Havana, July Fin response to
Consul General Lees formal inquiries
as to the status of Julio Sanguilly's
case, Captain-General Weyler off,
cially stated that the affair was now
beyond his jurisdiction, and wholly
in the hands of the civil courts. When
Sanguilly was tried in December last,
certain exceptions to the proceedings
were noted by his counsel. Then Con-
sui. General Williams objected to the
fact that his sentence was based on the
original testimony taken at the court
martial. These exceptions have gone
to the supreme court of Madrid for
consideration, where the eminent
Spanish statesman and jurist Senior
Saloneron is acting counsel for the
prisoner.
Sanguilly himself remains in Cabanas
castle here, pending a final verdict.
He occupies the most luxurious quar-
ters in the castle, and the Spanish
officials treat him with great considera-
ton. His wife and most intimate
Cuban friends are allowed to visit him
whenever they desire and he receives
his meals from a noted Havana restau
rant. He has, in fact, every comfort
possible under the circumstances.

THE YEARS DEFICIT

NEAR FUTURE NOT PROMISING
Comparative Statement or Receipts and
Expenditures Unsatisfactory TO
Treasury Officialg.

Washington. July 8. The compare
tive statement of government receipts
and expenditures, issued today, shows
the total receipts from all sources for
the fiscal year to have been $S26, l89,-
226. and the expenditures 1852 s31.-
470, which leaves deficit for the year
Of $26, ,042, ,244. Although there was
surplus for June of $2,349, 4S0. it is
expected that the figures for July will
show a deficit of at least $40, 900, 600,
and probably more.
The appropriation of $4,000, 900 for
ugar-bounty payment is now available.
and it Is the expectation that all Of the
claims will have been settled and paid
before the end of the month.
During July, the payments on .ac.
count of interest, pensions and naval
appropriations will be exceptionally
large so that the deficit for the month
is likely to be above $40, 900, 600, rather
than less.
The showing for the year is far from
satisfactory TO the treasury officials.
and what is equally disquieting is the
fact that the immediate future promises
nothing better.
The RECEIPTS from internal revenue
during the year amounted to STAG, $685.
264, nearly 81 500, 600 less than the
secretary's estimates sent to congress.
The customs yielded $l60, 534, 351, or
81 1 ,465, 649 less than the secretary'a
estimates.
The total receipts for the year. how
ever, showed gain Of about $l2. .s00.-
600 over 1895.
The customs increased about $S, $780,
900, the internal revenue about $3,-
900, 900. The receipts from miscellane-
GUS sources made up the balance.
The pension payments during the
year amounted to $139, ,434, ,046. re-
duction of nearly 81, 900, 900 from last
years payments.
The interest payments during the
year increased over 81, 4,250,000.
