RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES
OF the G ,vern m ent During the Month of
March.

OF the G overn m ent During the Month of
March.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The state
ment of receipts and expenditures for
the month of March, to be issued by
the treasury department Thursday,
will show decrease in the national
deficiency for the first time, with the
exception of one month, in a year.
Up to Wednesday the excess OF re-
ceipts over expenditures for March
amounted to IS, 743,7 2S, and as there
were no large payments to offset
the revenue received Wednesday, a
million more dollars will probably be
added to this favorable showing.
This large increase in revenue is due
to charges for the withdrawal of goods
in bond and the duties on articles re-
ceived from abroad naturally resulting
from the Dingley bill. Importers and
others who deal in articles on which
the duty increased by the Dingley bill
are getting their stores out of bonde &
warehouses and receiving large con.
signments from abroad to secure the
advantage of the present rates

Description of the Figh hit Between Turks
and Christians-During the Battle the
Foreign Warships Were Ordered to Fire.
LONDON, April 1.-The Canea corre-
spondent of the Standard describes the
lighting around the fort at lzzedin.
The garrison consisted of 800 Turks
who had 10 Krupp guns and two Nord-
enfeldt guns. The guns, however,
were trained seward, and were use
less to repel an attack from
the land side of the tort The
blockhouse above the fort con-
tanned 800 more troops with two
Krupp and two Nordenfeldt guns. Be-
yond this position there was a stone
wall, where the insurgents were
massed. under the Greek side. 1t is
impossible to say which side began
the fighting, but the engagement was
in full swing at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing.
The Turkish guns in the block house
took but a small part in the fighting,
but Turkish frigate shelled freely
though with small success. An hour
later the foreign warships were or
dered to fire.
The Russian warship Grosastchy
opened. She was followed by the
British warship Ardent and the Aus
trian warship Tiger. Each fired in
turn, aiming chiefly at the Greek flag.
The fire from the Russian warship
gradually demolished the whole wall,
every shot from her taking effect.
Despite the heavy cannonade the in
surgents held their ground stoutly,
throwing out s1irmishers and driving
back the Turkish outposts, although
they were compelled to abandon their
own principal position behind the
stone W all
The British battleship Camperdown
began firing six inch shells at the in
surgents who thereupon retired a
little distance, but continued a heavy
firing for a quarter of an hour. When
the Camperdown was at the range of
$500 yards she opened with her
13 inch guns. The effect was
instantaneous. Three or four
percussion shells burst right in the
midst of the insurgents, causing them
to run for shelter in all directions.
The gun practice of the Camperdown
was perfect, while the noise of the
enormous shells hurting through
the still air was enough alone
to brighten the enemy. Things were
now too hot to last, and the
flag was speedily lowered and the in
surgents hastily retreated, while the
Russian and Austrian warships fired
with extreme accuracy succession of
shrapnel. The last she'll was fired at
quarter past ten. The Russian and
Austrian warships then steamed away
on blockade service and the Ardent re-
turned to Suda.
CANEA, April IA force of insur-
gents occupied the hillside south of
Suda bay Tuesday night. The posi-
ton was rather an exposed one and
the insurgents were compelled to
withdraw by warm fire poured into
their ranks by the British, Austrian
and Russian warships moored in the
bay.
CONsTANTINoPLE, April lit is re-
ported here that negotiations have
been passing between Turkey and
Greece looking to settlement of the
Cretan troubles. Whether these
negotiations have taken place since
those that were reported in the middle
of March or the report is revival of
! the old story, does not appear.
