Campaigning Uncomfortable, for Ameri cans Native Women Declare That U Afl the Men AreJCyied They Will Keep Up the Fight. - . By Cable to the Horning Star. '" Manila, June 21. The insurgent army has taken to the swamps and hBis beyond Imus. The largest force is supposed to be in the neighborhood of San Francisco de Malaborf, holding a position more, toward-the lake or toward tno coast, according as exi gencies demand. General Wheaton returned to Imus to-day, bringingthree men who were wounded in yesterday's ngntmg. The heavy rains that fall nigntiy make campaigning uncomfortable. The-roads are still good, but the rice fields adjoining' them are pools of water. The Filipinos will not fight unless they can meet our troops in-i0f positions most advantageous to tnem selves or take" our reconnoitering odies in ambush. " It is impossible to learn what e Sect the recent defeat has had upon their leaders. This should be disheartening for they had boasted that the Ameri cans could never conquer the province of Cavite, Aguinaldo s home country, where-he always worsted the Span iards. Native Women Will Fight. General Otis recently received a let ter signed by native women of the province declaring that, if all the men were killed, the women would still keep up the fight against the Americans. , Copies of the insurgent organ, Inde- pendencia, show thai J the Filipinos' hopes of success are kept all a me by political movements in America. The Independencia prints reports of alleg ed speeches made at alleged meetings in tne united states, denouncing tne war. and it asserts that these represent the dominant American sentiment. It declares, also, that , the Filipinos will continue the war until the next presidential campaign, which is "sure to result in a decision to witndraw tne American trooDS from the Philippines." It is reported that the Spanish garri son at - liaior-, a town in tne pro vince of Principe, on the east coast of Luzon, which had become reduced to thirty men. finally surrendered to the Filipinos after holding out for a year. The Silimnos imprisoned two Eng lishmen at Tachloben, on the island of Samar, southwest of Luzon, The British first class cruiser Crafton steamed to that point from Cebu and her com mander demanded their release. When this was refused, he landed a force of marines and cleared his ship for action, whereupon the two Englishmen were handed over. THE SCHLEY TESTIMONIAL.

Two Hundred and Thirty Millions Ex pended This Year on Account of the - War and Philippine Troubles. . v ' -.' ' 7 By Telegraph to the Morning Star. -Washington, - June 21.TrIt is re garded as a conservative estimate that the treasury deficit for ' the fiscal year whjeli closes ten days hence, will not be less than $100000,000. Already the receipts of the year aggregate over $198,800,000, with the expenditures barely $100,000,000 more, with ten days, judging from past years, of abnormally- neavy receipts yet to be ac counted for. During the year there have been two heavy calls upon the treasury and one large payment which could not have been foreseen one year i ago. -'in marcn tne -governmen received $11,798,314 onx account o the settlement of its claims against the , Central Pacific Railroad. Com pany. During the same month 3. OOn OOO wa drawn nut tn nsT, nfF the Cuban - insurgent army, and . inn April $20,000,000 was paid to Spain in settlement of treaty obligations. Leav ings these -three items out of the ac count, the deficit would not have ex ceeded $89,000,000. vUp to this date the customs receipts amount to over $200,400,000: from internal revenue I $253,550,000 was realized, and from miscellaneous sources tnere was re ceived $35,500,000. ' During the whole the fiscal year 1898 the receipts from customs! barely exceeded $149, 500,000, and from internal revenue less than $17,000,000. The total' receipts from all sources amounted to $105,321,334. while the expenditures aggregated $443,368,582, leaving a 'deficit of $38,047,247. This year the expenditures will exceed those of last year by about $165,000, 000, while the deficit will be about $62,000,000 greater than last year. , From the closest, calculation that can now be made, thew"ar revenue act, which, witn tne exception of a few items, went into effect 1. 1899, will, realize for the July year The will a little Jess than $100,000,000. receipts from i tobacco .alone probably show' an increase for the year of over $15,000,000; spirits, an increase ,of $6,500,000; beer, and other fermented liquors, an in crease of ever $28,000,000; oleomar garine, an increase of about $585,000, and the receipts from special taxes. documentary and proprietary stamps for the year will likely bring the in creased receipts on account of the war revenue act up to nearly $100,000,000. The two items in that act which have produced more than ten times as much revenue as any two others are those relating to documentary and proprie tary stamps. On April 30th last these items had produced over $35,500,000, and it is not improbable that by July 1st that amount will be increased to over $44,000,000. The tax on legacies will produce not much in excess of $1,000000, while the special tax col lected from bankers will exceed $3, 500,000. I . The receipts from customs ' show a gratifying increase. For the month last year the customs yielded $15,335, 000 and for the following five months there was a gradual increase until March which produced nearly $21, 000, 000. Of late there has been a slight falling off. The expenditures up to this time ag gregate about $600,000,000. Of this amount $228,000,000 was paid out on j requisitions from the War Depart : ment; $64,000,000 on account of the j navy; $139,000,000 on account of pen sions, and nearly $4U,0UU,UUU of interest on the public debt; $12,650,000 was paid to the Indians, and $112,750,000 was disbursed on civil and miscel laneous account. At this time it is impossible to state with any degree of certainty what the war with Spain and the troubles in the Philippines! have cost during this year, but an approximation has been made of the' actual cash payments on these accounts, which places the amount at $230,000,000. This includes the payment of $20,000,000 to Spain, the $3,000,000 now being disbursed to the .Cuban troops, and the interest charges on the loan made necessary for the war, A calculation has been made at the Treasury which shows that leaving out of the account the $230,000,000 ex pended this year on account of the war; the $100,000,000 produced by the war revenue act. and the $11,798,314 received from the Central Pacific Rail road, the figures would show a surplus for tne year approximating ZU,UUU,UUU, SPIRITS TURPENTINE.

By Telegraph to the Mornlmi Star. New York, June 2L Notwith standing yesterday's break of three to seven points in the price of cotton f utures which led some traders to pre pare for a reaction to-day, the market continued on the decline and prices, during the weakest interval, showed a further net loss of fifteen to twenty points. At times the market was very unsettled and a panicky feeling pre vailed. The slump was particularly noticeable during the morning, when the selling appeared to be general by all classes. English cables were de cidedly disappointing, crop accounts continued of a brilliant average and speculative support was almost entirely lacking. The fact that there is a tre mendous business'in cotton goods in this country as well as abroad, witn spinners generally carrying light supplies of cotton, led .. some of the more conservative shorts to cover op to-dlay's break. On the basis of 5.60 for August some good. Wall street houses bought Summer months contracts and the fact that August is now belieyed to be in strong hands also added to the conservatism of the smaller local traders, causing them to cover. The close was steady, ten to fifteen points net lower. New York, June 21. Cotton quiet; middling uplands 6 l-16c Cotton futures market closed steady ; June 5.60c Julr 5.63c Aueust 6.66c.
