ENGLAND'S WAR EXPENSES.
She will Have TO Borrow q o 600
and Increase Taxes.

London, March 2.-The Statist will
say tomorrow that the chancellor of
the exchequer's budget viii be de-
livered Monday. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, It is added, the speech
would not be made until April, but the
necessities Of the government compel
1t To take immediate measures for OBJ
tanning a large oan and increasing
taxation.
The Statist shows that if the govern
ment estimates of expenditures are re-
allied it will be compelled to borrow
$50, 600, 600 for war purposes, OF which
2S, 600, 600 will be raised to cover ror-
NAL expenditures, and that the chan
cellor of the eXchequer will be COM
PEELED TO increase the taxation for the
year by 81, 900. 900. 1t suggests that the
income tax be increased a penny, which
would give So, 200, 900 additional reve-
nue.; that the tobacco duty be increas-
ed s pence a pound, whereby 60, SOC, 900
would be obtained; that the beer duty
be increased a shilling per barrel,
which would bring in 81, 400. 900 and
that the duty on spirits be increased a
shilling per gallon, realizing e1,20 900.

To Deny Information to American.

Berlin, March 1.-ConSiderable as
constituent was caused in the Reich
stag today by a detailed statement re-
speeding a secret decree issued by Ba-
ron Won Rheinbaden, Prussian minister
of the interior, while yet the provin-
cial governor of Dusseldorf, forbidding
swe to the inquiries of the United
States wherever a possibility existed
that German interest might thereby
be injured, even though the inquiries
should be merely of d general nature.
Herr Kunert, socialist, who brought
the matter VI, gave the date of the de-
cree as July "a, 1899, and he called the
attention of the Reichstag to the fact
that, by the general Prussian decree Of
1894 covering the subject, questions
by foreign consuls, if general in their
nature, may be answered.
Herr Kunert also charged the gov
eminent with conniving at the Agra
rian campaign of abuse against the
United States.
No one contradicted either of his
charges.

AID FOR PORTO RICO.
President Recommends to Con-
gress Return of Customs Collected on
Imports from the Island.

Washington. March 2-The president
today sent the following message to
congress:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
Since the evacuation OF Porto Rico
OF October, lSSS. the United States has
collected on products coming from that
island 20 the ports OF the United States
the duties liked by the Dingley act and
amounting to 50. 095. i55.SS and will con-
tinue to collect under said law until
congress shall otherwise direct. Al
though / had the power, and. having
in mind the best interests OF the people
OF the island, used Ii TO modify duties
on goods and products entering into
Porto Rico, 1 did not have the power
10 remit or modify duties on Porto
Rican goods coming into the ports of
the United States. In view OF h
pressing necessity OF immediate V
u for conducting the government
there and for the extension Of public
visional legislation just inaugurated
by the house OF representatives and for
the purposes of making the principle
embodied in that legislation applicable
10 the immediate past as we'll as to
the immediate l.. future, 1 recommend
that the above sum SO collected and
the same hereafter collected under ex-
listing law shall without waiting for h
enactment of the nera legislation
now pending be appropriated for the
use and benefit Of the island.

GUERRILLA WAR ADVISED.
German Paper says This is Best Course
for Beers.

Berlin, March 1.-The press here
makes but little comment on the re-
lief of Ladysmith, evidently being dis
concerted by the sudden change in the
situation.
The papers outside of Berlin continue
as virulently anti-British as ever. The
Tageblatt thinks guerrilla warfare the
only course left for the Beers, and The
Vossische Zeitung is OF the opinion
whether Gener Joubert is able To
bring Jack his siege guns safely.
In military circles open admiration
is expressed for the strategy OF Lord
Roberts, and the opinion is gaining
is approaching.
In parliamentary circles the consen-
sus of opinion is that the latest devel-
opments will make the attainment OF
peace more difficult and will render the
British, in case they completely van
quish the Beers, more overbearing and
less pleasant neighbors h before.
Professor Delbrueck, in Prussian An
nails, severely rebukeS German public
opinion for nltra-Boerism, which. he
clareS, is seriously endangering our
friendly relations with England"
A we'll known military writer avs
There cannot be more than 1900
Beers in the field, CT whom the maxi
mum left for fighting is 50, 900. Proba-
bly, both opponents are now preparing
for decisive blows"

naming danger for the British is a rise
