Washington, D. C?The problem oi the surplus In the Treasury continue! to be a source of serious discussioi among tbe Administration leaders ii Congress. A ray of hope that the surplus migh be kept under control has been afford ed by the range of receipts and expen ditures thus far this month. Receipts have been about $1,000,000 less thai for the same period last year, and ex penditures have been a trifle more JLiild liOO LUJLI11IUULCU LU X lilt V.\ cess of receipts for the first eighteei days of January froia $3,960,542 las; year to $2,593,049 this year. There has been an increase of th< surplus thus far during the fiscal yeai from $22,517,247 last year to $45,214, 946 this year. The reason for expect ing a check to this Increase is the fad that army and navy erpenditures firsi began to drop back toward their olc normal figures before the Spanish wai at the beginning of last year. These expenditures are still mucl larger than when the army contained only 27,000 men, but they are distinctly less than during the war and durin? the many months when contracts grow ing out of the war were still being set tied at the Treasury. Military expen diture is approaching, although it has not quite reached, the normal bas[? ol a peace establishment of about 75.00C vegular troops. There will not be, therefore, the same decline in mllitarj expenditures during the next sis months as took place during the Ihsl six months, In comparison with tlr previous year. Notwithstanding these calculations, the surplus of receipts over ordinary expenditures for the entire year prom ises to he $100,000,000. This would raise the available cash balance, which stood on Saturday at $171,227,914, tc about $225,000,000 at the close of the fiscal year on June 30 next. In what way to get rid of the surplus in the Treasury continues to be n problem which grows more difficult with the absorption of the surplus of purchasable bonds on the market. Secretary Gage has been rather fortunate during the past week in taking up bonds which the holders were ready to sell at the liberal premiums paid by the Treasury. The amount purchased this month has been nearly $2,000,000, and the disbursements have been a trifle more. The total of bond purchases since November 1 has, however, reached only $19,732,290, of which about $11,000,000 were purchased in November, and the remaining amounts have been spread over seven weeks. The amount gotten rid of in this way from the Treasury surplus has been $24,717,545. | Tne bonded debt Has now ranen to about $940,000,000, and shows a reduction of about $100,000,000 since the summer of 1899. The subjcct of reducing the revenue will be taken up by the Ways and Means Committee as soon as reciprocity with Cuba has been disposed of. This will be some weeks or months in the future, but the new Secretary of the Treasury will then be in office, and will be able to present his views to the committee. It Is anticipated that the taxes levied by the War Revenue act of 189S will be for the most part repealed, but there may be some question in regard to the increase on beer and the import duty IpvIpH nn ton A rprinpf-inn nf npnrlv $10,000,000 will be made in the annual revenue if a concession of fifty per cent, is made on Cuban sugar entering the United States, but this will contribute only a small fraction of the desired reduction in the revenue. CENERAL CHAFFEE'S REPORT. The Military Situation In the Philippine Islands. Manila.?General Chaffee, in the annual report which has just been issued, sums ap tbe situation from the military point of view by saying that the Provinces of Batangas and Lagua, in Southern Luzon, and the Islands of Samar, Mindoro and Cebu constitute the disturbed area in which bodies of insurgents in force are to be found. Municipal and provisional governments are being organized. These governments have not yet received a practical trial. They constitute the only certain and reliable method of ascertaining the progress of the Filipino toward self-government. In the same report Judge-Advocate Groesbeck says the suppression of brigandage will probably be one of the most trying problems of the future. If the military arm be left free to deal with the marauders there is no doubt of their final suppression. But the presence of the civil government com pncates tne situation considerably. With the civil and military authorities working in harmony, says Judge Groesbeck, no evil results should be anticipated. Woman 100 Year* Old Dead.

The i Governor gave the history of the con1 dltion of this river and said that to remedy the conditions existing was "merely paying the penalty of crowd ing population." i Governor Murphy unstintingly pitched into the present election law of New Jersey. "Theoretically and practically, if the voter desires," he ! said, "it is a secret ballot," in New Jersey. But the#Governor thought if generally admitte'd that the ballot in fact was not a secret one. He pointed 1 out that the "Ingenuity of the wicked ' is quite equal to the task of destroy lng the secrecy of the ballot." Then he recommended that the present law ! be so amended that no official ballots ' shall be obtained by. the voter except in the booth, and suggested that the i Massachusetts law be followed; also i that the polls close at five o'clock in-, ; stead of seven o'clock, and, further, J 1 that primaries be hold under the con- < trol of the Boards of Election and the 1 expense be paid out of the public funds.

The rebel fleet consisted of the converted gunboats Padilla, Darien and Guitan.

The shore guns of Las Bovedas opened fire on the rebel ships. The Government forces hastily began throwing up entrenchments, fearing that the rebels might force a landing. When the rebel vessels withdrew the Lautaro was on fire and the Darien and Padilla moved so slowly that itwas believed that both were badly damaged.

THE 1NDtANS MAY REVOLT Aroused Over Order to Cut OffHair and Let Paint Alone. Son of Pierre, the Famoni Scoot, Proph* e?lc? Mauacre* If the Mandate ii Enforced In the North welt. Minneapolis, Minn.?If the Government insists that the Indians in its charge shall cut off their long hair, abstain from use of paint and gaudy habiliments of savagery, the aborigines will, they say, dig up their hatchet and shed their blood In resisting so sudden a wiping out of their racial characteristics. This is the opinion of J. B. Bottineau, son of Pierre, the famous historic Northwestern pioneer and scout' Bottineau is connected with the red race by ties of blood, and for many years has been attorney for the Turtle Mountain Ohippewas. Minneapolis is his home, but much of his time is spent in TXTo nV* In n nnrlnc fnr AHanta' YY aOUiU^lV/Uf i/. Vif business. "I think the order of Commissioner Jones as reported In the press dispatches Is the most arbitrary and most uncalled for that has been made In the Interior Department in many years," said Mr. Bottineau. "I firmly believe it will provoke a revolution if enforced. The white man has poshed the red man back from the land he formerly occupied and has penned him up on reservations, which are now; being wrung from him by unscrupulous schemers without his even murmuring. The Indian knows how to flght. He's demonstrated that factj He also knows when he is whipped. He realized the-folly of fighting the whites long ago, but he still has fire In his veins. "There's.nothing more treasured by the Indian than his traditions, and the custom of adorning his body Is about the only memory of ancestors that the white man has left him. He will flght to retain it. Only a few of the old stock cling to customs which Commissioners' order^s have abolished. Youjjger generations are taking on the plain garb of civilization and are attensjlng scnooi. uney are, nowever, in nearty. accord with the sympathies of their fathers, and will fight with them." The Minnesota Indians who paint themselves and wear long hair are probably In the minority. In the Dakotas and Montana, however, the Sioux, Crees and Blackfeet, being in larger bands, are less in contact with civilization and are extremely tenacious of customs. It will be difficult to enforce orders against forms of dress and personal adornment among them. HEAVY SENTENCE FOR SOLDIER. Ten Years In Prison For Threatening to* Kill the President. Portland, Ore.?Frank Rakowsky, a soldier In the United States Army, was degraded at Fort Oanby and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment on Alcatraz Island, Cal. He had threatened to assassinate President Roosevelt. A few days before Christmas he became intoxicated at Chinook, and while in a saloon made the following statement: "President McKinley got what he deserved. My time of enlistnjent in the army will soon expire, and when it does I'll see that President Roosevelt gets the same dose that Czolgosz gave McKinley." The sentence is dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement in the military prison at Alcatraz Island for a' period of ten years. VAN WORMER BOYS INDICTED.

DUtrast of Natl re Official*. Washington, D. C.?The Philippine war Is not over?not even In Luzon. On the contrary, it is now entering v upon its sternest phase. Thlp is shown in General J. Franklin Bell's ordera for the prosecution of the war In the Province of Batangas, which Is is Southern Luzon. General Bell orders that in the Provinces of Batangas and Laguna commanding officers shall establish limits surrounding each zone, withiB which the Inhabitants of the district must come. By the order, which waa issued December 8. the people were given until December 25 to move Into the limits with their food supplies. After that time, if they had not moved Into the reconcentrado limits, their property was liable to confiscation or destruction. In a supplemental circular dated December 9, General Bell declared "that .a policy should be adopted that BEIGADIER-OENEBAL 3. F. BELL. ?? will as soon as possible make the people want peace, and want it badly." This, he said, was because the people, especially the wealthy ones, did not really desire peace, though 1 they pretended to. "It is an Inevitable consequence of war," continued General Bell, "that the inuocent must generally suffer with ilie guilty. Military necessity frequently precludes the possibility of making discriminations. It is necessary to end the war for the good of all, and there- j fore impossible to wage war efficiently and at the same time do abstract jus- . tlce."

OUUUl U1UU 1,0 WiiiUiuauwio uuu jvumq officers of experience," he says, "should not be restrained or discouraged without excellent reason, but should be encouraged to hunt for, pursue and vigorously operate against armed bodies of Insurgents wherever they may be found." He declares that among municipal officials and councils will be found many who secretly aid the insurgents,< and that they must be discovered. It is almost certain, he says, "that the elections of all town officials in the Province of Bataugas and Lagunahave been dictated by Malvar or other insurgent leaders." The oath of allegiance, General Bell declares, Is no evidence of loyalty, and persons taking the oath or otherwise pretending sympathy with the Americans are really in secret correspond ence with the rebels. "Neutrality," he says, "should not be tolerated! Presidents and chiefs of police who assist the rebels must be arrested. Every native priest and a great number of wealthy citizens are secretly aiding the rebellion. The priests are more dangerous than armed insnrgents. On suspicion, even in the absence of evidence, priests must be confined. It will frequently be found impossible to obtain evidence against persons of influence as long as they are at liberty, but once confined, evidence is easily obtainable." MEXICAN VOLCANO ACTIVE.
