" the deficit will he greater than the
seven million pesos the government ad-
mits. 1t will. probably he more Ike
thirty millions There are, however
methods of making up this deficit which
are perfectly practicable. 1t is necessary
TO say at this point that it is veritably
impossible TO obtain in Mexico CITY an
soluteiy accurate data with regard 10
the financial situation, or any other SIT
uation, for that matter.
The figures given herein. however are
concentrations which can be relied upon
They are government figures to a certain
extent. scrutinized and pruned by men
who are perhaps more thoroughly cognlz-
ant of the exact financial situation than
the government experts themselves
The government estimates that II VIII
require l52 OO0.oy pesos during the hscaI
year OF 19li-15, which means from july
of this year to June 30 of next. If the
revolution continues. as no doubt II WILL
barring intervention by the Uited states
or some other great event, the cost OF
operation will be greater. AZ present ana
for some months past the expenses oil the
government have been particularly large
because OF the necessity for making cdsh
pa, ments on purchases of arms ABROAD
The Mexican governments credlt IS I"
longer good. and men who sell rihes ana
ammunition demand cash payments. They
are getting them now. and in consequence
the treasury is kept pretty bare. Tie
government is also without credit even M
the City of Mexico. The rUanager or one
large mercantile establishment which for
merly has done much business with the
government said recently that now he
sells to the government only on strictlN
cash basis. II the government wants 10

it has to lay down the money.
The sources Of governmental revenue
are two-the external taxation on I'M
ports, exports and so forth. and the in
ternal taxes. The revenues for the forth
coming fiscal year-this estimate is BASED
on past and present incomes-on the Gus
toms tariffs will be about Jloo0,o00 pesos
The export taxes will be 100000 pesos
the port dues will bring in 100000 and the
consular fees will amount TO l,0250o0. The
taxes on commerce, on public storage, the
revenues from pilotage, the marine hos
pital service ana sundry other things will
add 10000 pesos TO the revenues obtained
from taxes on foreign commerce, a total
of nearly jsOC0OoO pesos. The estimated
revenues from internal taxes run up to
almost the same figure. or j1,761 Goa pesos.
The principal items are 22,000000 pesos
from the stamp taxes. nearly 100000 on
federal taxes. 100000 on mining taxes and
as much more on gold and silver. $4,000
on tobacco, 5000, 00o on alcohol and nearly
10000 on petroleum.

By PHILIP II. PATCHIN.

Washington, March 30-Nhen all Is said
and done, and whatever he may or may
not have been guilty Of, ii must he said
OF Don Victorano Huerta that he is a
clever. astute and brave man. with an
understanding of his people and the cour-
age TO control the situation internally and
TO defy the United States while doing so.
That General Huerta will some day be
driven from office there can be no doubt.
The President of the United States has
said that he shall be eliminated. and, un-
less American policy undergoes a change,
as Huerta hopes it will, out Huerta will
go-some time 1t has been Washnston's
theory that Huerta is "crumbling. II
has been Washingtons theory for many,
many months. And yet Huerta remains.
the atmosphere Of Mexico City is, of
course pro- governmental, and one may
derive prejudiced notions in that beautltul
city OF peace and veneered prosperity, anl
1t may be that the impression one gets
there that Huerta is going TO retain his i'll
gotten Office for an indefinite period may
be wrong. but nevertheless one gets that
impression most strongly. and if Huerta
breaks within the year most people in
Mexico City will be vastly surprised
Washington has laid great stress on
Huerta's financial condition. It has been
said that he was at the end of his linan-
cial rope. and that when he got to the
point where ne could no longer meet his
obligations, particularly the pay of his
troops. then he would fall Here Wash
iugton makes a mistake. There have been
certain outward signs of financial weak
ness. like the failure to pay the interest
on the national foreign debt, but there is
plenty Of evidence that Huerta is far from
