REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES
HOW REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS
FIGURE OUT A SURPLUS.
Treasury Attempts to Show That the
Dingley Revenues Exceed the Or
binary Expenditures.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Assistant Score
tary Howell today made public the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the gov
eminent during the last fiscal year:
Receipts. including Pacific railroad
items. were s405, go, 335. Expenditures,
including Pacific railroad items, $443,-
SOS, $50, leaving deficit Of S5S,04T,247. If
we exclude the receipts from Pacific
railroads, amounting 70 SEA, Isl, 223. and
the expenditures on this account Of S4,-
549. 1868, the account would stand as fol-
lows:
Receipts, sS40.57O 10; expenditures,
$43S, S19, 2t4; deficit, sos, s249. 103
This large deficit is accounted for, IN
part, by the extraordinary demands
upon the treasury to carry on the war.
a conservative estimate of the war eX-
pcnditures during the months Of March,
April. May and June, is $4,000, 600. If
we deduct this from the S9S,24' JOB, the
deficit would be $42,249103. In other
words, the deficit would not have ex-
ceeded this amount on peace bass:
st the end of the first seven months
of the fiscal year the deficit was $751;.
go. 500. Deduct from this $42, 249, 103, and
we find that the deficit has been re-
dGcegi during the last five months of
the fiscal year 1852, 719. 1t thus ap-
pears that during the last five months
of the year our receipts exceeded our
expenditures on a peace basis over nine
and a half million; or, TO express 1t III
another way, the tariff law of 1897 pro-
dUced during the last Eve months of
the fiscal year a revenue which exceeds
cur ordinary expenditures by over nine
millions OF dollars.

SENATOR JONES VIEWS.
Annexation of the Philippines Would
Be Preposterous.

ST. Louis. Aug. 2.--SenatOr James X.
Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee, who was
in the city comforting with prominent
members of his party, had this to say
concerning our foreign policy before he
left for New York:
THE United States pledged to the
world that an independent and stable
government shall be established in Gu
ba. When 1 voted for that resolution,
nothing was said about imperialism.
This country cannot afford to go back
on it's pledge. These are my private
views, which / believe are those of the
Democratic party.
Il do not know Waht conditions may
arise respecting Cuba, but have never
known a Spanish-American community
capable of self-government. and it is
possible that since we set out to free
Cuba from Spanish domination we may
be compelled to pursue a course which
will eventuate in the control of the
islands While 1 am not in favor of
the acquisition of territory in the trop-
les, this course would be less objection
able than any other.
Cuba is adjacent to the United
States, as is Porto Rico, but the
thought of annexing the Philippines is
preposterous, undemocratic and not in
accordance with the principles handed
down from the days of Thomas Jeffer-
son.
I'VE began this war to secure the in
dependence of Cuba, and nothing more.

Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press.)
Playa del Este, Cuba, Aug. 2.-News
has been received here today from Gen
eral CaliXto Garcia and the Cuban
forces under him at Mayari, near the
bay of .Nipe, on the north coast of the
province Of Santiago de Cuba. The re-
port is that General Garcia has been in
a heavy fight with Spanish troops, who
were trying to effect q junction with
the main body Of Spanish regulars at
Holguin. These Spaniards were prob
ably the force that evacuated Nipe bay
during the recent naval bombardment.
A large body of Cuban reinforcementS
had reached General Garcia, and the
impression is that he defeated the
Spaniards in this engagement, or at
least held his own. The Cuban dis
patch says that two cannon had al
ready been taken from the enemy, and
the Spanish cavalry had been defeated.
General Garcia had moved towards
Holguin, as it was reported that the
Spaniards were trying to open their
way through the Cuban lines to the
province OF Puerto Principe.
The inhabitants of Caimenara and
Guantanamo are now receiving Red
Cross supplies from Santiago.
The tug Manati, recently SURRENDERED,
arrived here today from Cienfugos, in
charge of Ensign ,MacFarlane Of the
gunboat Helena Ensign MacFarlane
says that the reports from Trinidad,
Cape Cruz, Manzanillo and CieufueSos
indicate great suffering and starvation
throughout the whole section, wnere
the blockade is doing its work with
much expedition.
1t is believed Manzanillo will have to
surrender on demand to the navy be-
fore MANY weeks.

Mr.. E. Cooking. an extensive wool
grower of Australia, stopped off in Salt
Lake yesterday on his way from Eng
land. bound for home. Mr. Cooking is
seeing the states by degrees and has been
studying the tariff system of this country.
In speaking of the wool interests in gen
eral, he believed that the Dingley law did
not affect the price of the Australian
wool. 'Of course he said. your duty
shuts our wool out but then we did not
export any great amount for American
consumption. our wool is much superior
to yours, and we can readily find market
for it without climbing your tariff wall"

Aguinaldo. The condition of the Span
ish prisoners confined by the insur-
gents at Cavite is most deplorable. and
has aroused the pity and sympathy of
General Merritt, who begins to issue
rationS today without advising Aguin-
aldo. This is probably the first step
towards assuming proper authority
over the insurgents. who had hitherto
been treated as masters of the situa-
ton. The attitude CT the insurgents is
the only difficulty in the way Of an i'm
mediate settlement of the whole mat
ter.
1t is an open secret, and L have in
formation confirming the report from
the best possible sources, that Manila is
willing TO surrender, and may do so.
provided assurance is given that the
Inhabitants viii be protected from the
insurgents, who openly declare their in
tention of killing every Spaniard.
Personally, I am convinced that the
only means of controlling Aguinaldo's
rabble is to dIsarm the whole popula-
ton. This step alone can make life and
property safe. The American troops
are active and reconnaissance are
daily made in the country, which is be-
ing thoroughly studied and carefully
mapped.
The arrival of the third expedition is
expected tomorrow. The force will then
be amply sufficient for any emergency.
Shortly after midnight last night the
Americans occupied the insurgent lines
for several hundred yards. includ-
ing the position nearest to the Spanish
works. The insurgents yielded their po-
sitions at the request of General Mer
rift.

A STRIKE.
Objected to a Wage Reduction of

Owners Violate Their Agreement

Cleveland, Aug "A strike was for
mally declared on today ~ the federated
wire trades at the works of the II. p.
Nail company and American Wire cons
Dany, both of which are now under con-
troll of the recently formed wire and nail
trust. The strike, when the rod mill and
yardmen of the American company JOIN

ment- OF these 800 are from the II. z.
company and loo from the American
works.
The strikers have decided not to pay any
attention to the old consolidation. or
Baackes mill, which is also controlled by
the trust and where the men are ali work.
ing The cause of the strike is the al
leSed general cut Of 35ia per cent IN wages
and a threatened cut of 20 per cent more.
Word came to the strikers late this
evening that the BaackeS mill had closed,
ostensibly for repairs, but it was stated
the move was for the purpose of checking
any diSSatisfa elton that might obtain in
the plant This SWellS the number of men
Idle to 2.S00.
The federated wire trades officers say
the strike will be extended to every mill

men in all.
which it was resolved to send no more
committees to Manager Shuler. TO keep
away from the mills and give no OppOI-
tunity for the company to call on The
militia or appeal 10 the United States
court for an Injunction, but to maintain
a peaceable attitude and wait. 1t was also
determined to strike in every one of the
American Steel & Wire Trust Julls which
is now in operation and If possible to
force them out of the market.
George II. Shuler of the company, in an
interview, said: The American Steel &
Iron company has reduced the wages of
the men since last April, when the mills
started up. At that time the wire drawers
of the American and II; P: mills were cut
about % per cent. and the men at the
Consolidated or Baackes received a slight
increase. This was done to systematic
the scale of wages paid at all the mills
and at that time the men expressed them
selves as satisfied with the existing con-
difiOnS ~

rapidity of official procedure here Gen
orally when the Spanish government
has to make an important decision, a
long series of cabinet councils is de-
voted TO what is called in semi official
phraseology exchanging expressions
an euphonism for talking at large,
bringing recalcitrant members into
line and postponing a decision until
tomorrow.
1t was expected, therefore, in the
most important question, war or peace,
that these preliminary operations
would require many days. In reality,
if entirely dispensed with, they We're
got through in a single sitting, and
the whole procedure of examining the
American demands. deciding on a
course of action and preparing a formal
reply was accomplished, if we may
trust to the Madrid press, in less than
% hours.
NJ. Cambon's note was received Sun
day evening and communicated imme-
diately to the queen regent by the for
eign minister, who subsequently paid
Senior Sagasta a visit. AT o'clock
Monday the premier telephoned his
colleagues to assemble in council at 10.
When the council rose at midday, the
main questions had been decided upon.
but a full reply could not be prepared
because one or two points in the Amer
lean note required explanation, and
supplementary note had been received
from NJ. C&mbon, containing a new
condition. The existence of this new
condition was admitted by Senior Sa-
gasta to a representative, but the pre-
mier declined to say whether it aggra-
waited or softened the conditions pre-
viOusly communicated.
AT o'clock Duke Almodovar de Rio
had an audience with the queen re-
gent, and at o'clock the cabinet had
a second sitting, and before rising the
ministers had, it is said, completed
their formal reply, and some authori-
ties affirm that it was telegraphed to
Washington during the night, but this
statement requires confirmation.
AS to the precise nature of the de-
mands, and the contents of the note in
reply, the ministers refuse to give in
formation. SO the rumors on the sub
ject cannot be regarded as more than
surmises. But indications are not
wanting that President McKinley's
proposals have been considered in a
conciliatory spirit. with a view to ar
irving, if possible, at an immediate
pacific solution.

MASSACRE OF CATHOLICS.
Pope's Anxiety Over the Bishop and
Clergy at Cavite.

Chicago, Aug. "A special from
Washington to the Daily News says:
The war and navy departments have
received, through Cardinal Rampolli,
papal secretary of state, a cablegram
from the pope, expressing the keenest
anxiety for the safety of the bishop
and clergy al CaYite. Information re-
ceived at the vatican is to the effect
that AguinaIdo and his forces have
planned the massacre of the Catholics.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
information cablegramS We're sent to
General Merritt and Admiral Dewey,
directing them to take every means
possible to prevent the insurgents from
harming Catholics. The receipt of the
news has caused much uneasiness here.
If an attempt Of this kind is made by
Aguinaldo it VIII surely lead to con-
fiict between the forces under him and
those of the United States.

CHANCE FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Troops at San Francisco Expect to
Go to Manila.

San Francisco, Aug. General Mer-
ritt's call for reinforcements and Agui-
naldo's ugliness have sent thrill
along the nerves of the remaining
troops OF the expeditionary forces, who,
with peace apparently imminent, and
transports few and far between, had
begun TO fear that the alarms of war
were not for them. If the governor gen
eral of the Philippines is to make his
demand exceed the 10000 limit, every
one here ~ go and more will be call
ed, for General Merriam has had no
orders as yet to make any move toward
a larger eXpeditionary force.
