Fifty Cent Dollars,

A New York special says, one Of the
most interesting preparations for the
Quitting Of the Manila expedition has
just been announced. The government
has just purchased 25O,O00 Mexican sill
yer dollars, which General Merritt will
take along to defray expenses CT the ex.
pedition. This is not expected to last
long, but more will be sent. By pur-
chasing Mexican dollars great saving
is made. 1t is possible to obtain Mexi.
can dollars at 46 cents each thus obtain
ing for one American dollar two Mexican
ones and leaving cents oyer. In other
words Uncle Sam WAS able to buy $50, 900
Mexican dollars for $4,000. In the
Philippines a Mexican dollar will buy
more than the American dollar, so that
the expenses of General Merritts expedi-
ton, after it once arrives in Manila,
will be less than one-half what they
would otherwise be. As to the soldiers,
they will fare excellently under this ar
rrngement, for they will of course be
paid according 10 law, American money.
The paymaster will give each soldier
two Mexican dollars for every American
dollar due him on pay day,

This reduces the bonded Indebtedness
of the state to $6S2,OOO, most of it at 8
per cent and the highest at AZ, There
are only $4,000 more Of bonds which
can be taken up before 1902 and thes e
will undoubtedly be disposed of before
the close of this year. There is no float
