A DEFICIT EXPECTED.
Treasury officials Do Not Look for a
Surplus This Month.

Treasury officials do not look for a sur
plus of revenue this month, as in March,
but regard a deficit almost certain.
April Is big interest payment month that
charge amounting to more than five million
dollars, and war expenses, which are an
unknown quantity because of the irreg-
ularity with which they are approved for
pay ment will probably be large.
The income this month will not fall far
short of last months, however. Customs
receipts are expected 10 be lower as March
is the great importing month, but internal
revenue, on the other hand, ought to be
considerably more. 1t is fair estimate
that customs this month will yield 900O,-
OO and internal taxation s24 coo Sth, The
pension charge will be about 81 900, 900.
There is also possibility that the s20000,-
O0O payment to Spain. upon exchange of no.
tice of ratification of treaty. may be paid
in which case the deficit would be very
large. H4ss

THEY CANNOT Be RAlSEl
Opinion of Wreckers Regarding Cervera's
Sunken Ships
If Responsible Concerns Want 10 Res
cue Them They Are at Liberty
to Make the Effort.

Acting Secretary Allen has received let
/ ter from the manager Of the Neptune Com
pany. the great Swedish wrecking corpora
/ ton. announcing that it is not possible to
| raise and repair the vessels of Cervera's
| fleet sunk near Santiago. This company.
which has the reputation of being the most
expert in the world in wrecking operations.
1 sent a force of trained divers to the scene
| of the wrecks, and one of their best en-
| gineers to make a thorough examination.
| The conclusion is that in the case of the
Colon the company cannot undertake to
| raise her unless the United States govern
ment will guarantee expenses in the event
| of failure. The wreck is lying In the surf
| line, and, save on exceptionally calm days,
| 1t cannot even be approached by small
beats. The enormous difficulty Of operating
| delicate diving mechanism under such con-
| ditiOns is apparent.
| As to the Niscaya. the company finds that
/ while ii is entirely feasible to float her, she
| would probably not be worth enough to the
| United States government to warrant the
heavy expenditure Attention is called to
| the fact that the Viscaya does not repre-
| sent the most modern ideas I'm swift cruiser
construction. and. in fact, IL is doubtful
| whether she would be a valuable acquisi-
! ton to the United States navy.
The Swedish company having thus with
tertain any other solid project that may he
advanced for raising one or more of the
| Spanish ships. There is already pending a
tentative proposition from a native cor
pOration which has volunteered TO deposit
bond to the amount of so 0aoo0o to guar
antee the successful prosecution of the
work, and other more or less formal propo-
sitiOnS have been advanced.
No Appropriation Available.
The difficulty is that all of these have
been put forward without sufficient i1nowl-
edge on the part of the projectors OF
the enormous difficulty of the undertaking.
Acting Secretary Allen has kindly pointed
| these out in some cases, and the wreck
ers show considerable pertinacity in Seen
ing an agreement to undertake the work.
he has told them that the department is
without any appropriation TO defray the
cost Of wrecking operations. However, IL
any responsible concern with practical
perienCe behind ii cares to venture upon
the work, looking to congressional reward
in the event Of success, the department Will
interpose no objection. Up to this moment
ii has maintained its claim to the wrecks.
but unless some arrangement is speedily
entered into for raising them. it is proba BILE
that 1t will allow individuals To break up
the hulks and recover such of the property

court holds that it is distinctly limited by

Grants of exclusive privileges to one per-

some right to which otherwise they would
be entitled, are not within the power of
Congress.
