A Deficit in the Treasury.

Washington, June 2l--It Is regarded as
a conservative estimate that the treasury
deficit for the fiscal year 1899, which
closes ten days hence. win be less than
800 100000. AIready the receipts for the
year aggregate over Sass, 800 900 with the
expenditures barely 800 000, 900 more, with
ten days. judging from past years, of
heavy receipts yet TO be accounted for.
Up 10 this date the customs receipts
amount to over 5000 400. 900; from Internal
revenue 1868. $4,000 was realized and from
miscellaneous sources, there was receiv-
ed So, 900
From the closest calculation that can
now be made, the war revenue act, which
with the exception OF few Items, went
into effect July l. 1898. will realize for the
year. a little less than 800, 1000 900. The re.
ceipt sfrom tobacco alone will probably
show an increase for the year OF over
SIS 900. 900. spirits an Increase of $500, 900;
beer and other fermented liquors an in
crease fabout S2s.OOO,000 and oleomar-
gerne an Increase of about s5s5,0OO The
two Items which have produced more
than ten times as much revenue az any
other two are those applying 10 docu-
mentary and proprietary stamps. On APP
ri 3d. last these Items had produced over
t36 800 OOO and 1t IS not improbable that
by July /, the total win probably exceed
Si4. 10000 The tax on legacies will prob
ably produce not much In excess Of 81.
10000 while the special tax collected from
bankers VIII exceed s,OOO,o o00
The expenditures up 10 this time ag-
gregate about $500 900. OF this amount
S2S.000OO0 was paid out on reauisitions
from the war department, S64,o00,oO0 on
account Of the navy. slss. s.oOO. 900 on account
OF pensions and nearly Sio,o0o,oOo on ac-
count Of interests on the public debt. &i2-
G75.000 was paid to the Indians and ms
cellaneous accounts.
AT this time It is impossible to state
with any degree OF certainty what the
war with Spain and the troubles Ia the
Philippines have cost, during this year,
but an approximate has been mads OF
the actual cash payments on these ac-
counts, which places the amount at WV
600 600, A calculation has heen MADE at
the treasury which shows that leaving our
the reckoning the s2Ss 900 was eXpend-
ed this year on account of the war; me
500 00O, 900 produced by the war reVeaue
act. and the sll.79s.sl4 received from the
Central Pacific. the hgure9 would show
