At Gibraltar there was a report
that 5000 Japanese volunteers were
expected to land at Cadiz and Jerez

troops in final assault on Madrid.
Toxic said the story was fantastic.
Great Britain, angered by the air
bombing of her embassy in Madrid,
filed protest. Some of her most
powerful warships were added to
the fleet at Gibraltar. The British
government forbade citizens to en-
list in Spain, and continued its eff
forts to persuade other nations to
stop the sending of volunteers to that
country. France agreed to intro
duce legislation to that effect, but
Germany and Italy were still cling

Congress Receives Budget
Message of President

CTATING that he expects to bal
~ ance the national budget and be-
gin reducing the national debt in
1889, President Roosevelt submit
ted to congress budget for the 1888
fiscal year. This, he said, balanced
conditionally except for statutory
debt retirement-meaning that il
his conditions are met the gross def
icit for the fiscal year beginning
July / would not be more than
$401 ,515, 1000, compared with $685.
652,774 in the current fiscal year
and 81, 1853, 841, 642 in the 1886 fiscal
year, which ended last June 80.
But the President warned the ma
ton that conditional budget balance
in the next fiscal year and complete
balance in the following year de-
pended on industry's cooperation in
hiring more persons from relief
rolls. All estimates were dependent
upon continued economic improve
ment.
The President estimated that fed
eral revenue in the next fiscal year
will increase by 81, ATS, 466, 1878 be-
cause of better business and higher
taxes. He did not propose new taxes
but opposed the reduction of any
taxes now in effect.
The message allotted 451 millions
to a general public works program,
excluding the Florida ship canal
and the Passamaquoddy tide har-
Messing project; 482 millions for ag-
riculatural relief and soil conserva-
ton; 1886 millions for social secur-
ity, and 316 millions for recovery
and relief.
The message revealed that Mr..
Roosevelt planned to curtail relief
expenditures sharply from the 1886
81 levels. But he found available
funds insufficient for the rest of
the current fiscal year and asked
congress to appropriate $790, 000, 900
Immediately, of which $3.50, 000, 900
is to be expended for recovery and
relief between February and June
80 when the 1887 fiscal year ends.
