before the war with Spain and made
available until July next will remain
in the treasury on that date. As mat
ter Of fact, the allotments made 10y the
president exceed that sum by SIS. 2iG.90,
but As the war department has lit
tie more than So, 900, 600 of the amount
placed at its disposal still on hand, it
is apparent that no deficiency will
be created. Other appropriations were
made 10y congress for the army and
navy during the war with Spain,
but it was found necessary to utilize
the $50 900, 900. The war was primarily
a naval struggle, and as the navy was
compelled immediately after the de-
struction of the Maine TO get in readi-
ness for battle on the sea and To block
ade Cuba, most of the money appropri-
ated for preparation was spent by it.
The allotmentS made by the president
for the navy department amounted TO

department SIS, 800, 627 GS, total of
$50, OBS, PIG 90 or $4,000 more than
