by the Atlantic and on the west by Ad-

calls him. The people on the Pacific

The Cruise Of the Wilmington.

The American navy has been pretty
busy for the past year in work that
has attracted the attention of the
whole world. Now while interest cen
ters in the peerless oregon at Manila,
the Philadelphia at Samoa, the Raleigh
on its way from Manila to New York,
and on the other vessels and fees
which are adding To our fame and
prestige. there is Eunboat, the Will
mington. whose work should not escape
notice for it has sailed on the most
unique cruise in our naval history. 1t
shows that while the government is busy
with thc exciting events arising from
the war with Spain, it is not neglect
ing to strengthen our friendly rcla-
ions with our ncighbors on this
continent.
In spite Of the hurrying Of ships Of
war "a the Pacific. the navy depart
mcnt has found it possible to re-estab-
lish the South Atlantic station. Ad-
miral HpwiSon sails soon in his flag
ship Chicago for the coast Of South
America. Thithcr the large light
drauGht gunboat Wilmington, which
was lately fitted out at boston. has
preceded him. The Wilmington, which
was designed ana built especially for
South American service, is engaged in
Il cruise Of great interest ana import
ance. On her way South she has

Dutch Guiana. She assembled the
Orinoco river through the region made
famous by than boundary dispute be-
tween the British and Venezuelan gov
ernments. which Secretary Olney's
master hand brought 10 such a prompt
and satisfactory ending.
From the OrinocO the Wilmington
proceeded to Brazil. our warships
are always welcome in South America.
but this cruise OF the Wilmington has
been like a triumphal progress. Her

ceived with hospitable congratulations.

before. the power of their great friend
and protector.
From Para the Wilmington goes on

The treasury statement Tor March
shows that notwithstanding the Contin-
ued large expenditures on account Of
the war with Spain, the available cash
is larger than on March |, ana nearly
S'5.0c0.0o i'll excess of the fund on hand
April L. 1898. \ part OF the increase of
sl5.000,O0 during March was due to Il
payment of nearly ST., 900 900 on account
Of the Indebtedness of the Central Pa
ciiic Railroad, but there was a sub
stantial gain apart from this extra
ordinary receipt. The gold fund is very
large-$2Is 800 and. .dedueting out
increase, for the year of nearly $175.-
9O0 900. The fractional silver held in the
available cash balance has been re-
duccd about $1,000 900 owing to the in
creased use of American silver in Cuba
and Porto Rico. Thus far, no attempt
has been made to use silver dollars in
these islands. notes being used in dis
bursements 10 troops but there are ex-
cellent reasons why silver should be
employed for this purpose, not the least
important being sanitary considera-
tions. With increasing trade rela ions.
the American money distributed in
cuba is sure to lind its way back to the
tnited States. ana il would obviously
be better to have silver coins thus cir
culated than paper notes. which might
easily become infected with the germs
Of contagious disease. Besides all
these considerations the people of Cuba
and Porto Rico would rather have sill
Yer dollars than notes.
The statement of receipts and eXpen-
ditures shows that the government is
now getting the full benefit of the war
revenue legislation. Comparing March.
1899. with March, 1898. the customs re-
ceipts increased $4,000, 000 and the in
ternal revenue receipts 100000 600. More
over. the receipts We're in excess of the
expenditures for the month. leaving out
of the account the extraordinary sum
received from the Central Pacific Rail
road. In other words, the government
is now paying its way, and will surely
continue to do SO during the remainder
of the fiscal year.
