Need of Cabinet Suigeon.
The most Impoitant nddiess was by
General M O. Teu, of irtlca, X. Y,
ex-surgeon geneial of the National
Guard of New Yoik. He quoted a let
tei wiltten by Colonel J. D Hmmett,
surgeon geneial of the Fifth bilgade,
National Gunid, of New York, in which
he suggests the permanent appoint
ment of a medical lepresentatlve In the
piesldent's cabinet and Geneial Teiry
endoised his suggestion. lie said the
experience of England in I3gypt and
the lesion taught In our Cuban cam
paign enforces with a stiong aigumeiit
of facts the absolute necessity of a new
poitfollo In the executive cabinet of our
gov eminent, that of medical dheclor
general, with powers cleat ly defined as
In other cabinet positions. The posi
tion, like all of the otheis of the cabi
net, ho said, should he filled by ap
pointment by tliH piesldent, subject to
conflimntlon by the senate, and that
the medical profession should have no
special voice in tho selection, leaving
It lo the piesldent to select the man
fiom whatever school of medicine he
w Ished
Geneial Terry then discussed tho ap
pointing of homeopathlsts In the army
and the Nntlonal Guatd of the seveial
states, and then took up the subject of
sanitation In the aimy under vnrylng
conditions Camps should not be se
lected without consulting the surgeon
general, ns during the late wai, and
suggested that they be selected bv a
boaid or commission composed of a
commanding officer, a sanitary engineer
and a medical oillcer, and that the
boaid or commission should be con
tinued In camp and be responsible for
the sanitary condition of the camp. The
bringing together of a commanding
ofllcer and expert engineer and a medi
cal otTleer, who unites' tho inteiests In
each depnitment, nnd Instead of file
tlon would bring about a general good
feeling.
Problem of Protecting Soldleis.

length the problem of piotectlng tol-
diets, nnd closed by ofteilng the fol
lowing tesolutlon, which was referred
to the committee on resolutions:

ment a position In the cabinet equal in

A special meeting of the institute

the repoit of the committee having in

Washington, June 21. It Is legarded
as a toneivatlve estimate that tho
tteustny deficit for the fiscal year 1S90,
which closes ten days hence, will be
les than $100,000,000. Altendy the re
ceipts or the yeai aggregate over $49S,
800,000, with the expendltuies barely
$100,000,000 moie, with ten dnjs of ab
normally heavy lcceipts yet to be ac
counted for, judging from past years.
Duilug the vear there have been two
heavy calls upon the treasury and one
large navnient, which could not have
been foreseen one year ago. In March
tho government received $11,798,3114 on
account of tho settlement of its claims
against the Central Pacific Railroad
company. During the samo month $3,
000,000 was diawu out to pay off the
Cuban lnsiiigent atmy, and In April
$20,000,000 was paid to Spain In settle
ment of treaty obligations. Leaving
these three Items out of the nccount,
the deficit this year would not have ex
ceeded $S9,000,000. Up to this date the
customs receipts amount to over $200,
400,000; fiom Intel nnl revenue, $263,5.10,
000 was realized, and from miscellan
eous soutces the sum of $35,'i00,000 was
received. During the whole of the 11s
inl j ,r ls9S lecelpts from customs
lately exceeded $149,500,000, and from
Internal revenue less than $171,000,000.
The total lecelpts from all sources
amounted to $10.",321,33r, while the ex
penditures aggregated $HJ,3GS,5S2, leav
ing a deficit of $S.0!7,217. This year
tho expenditures w 111 exceed those of
last bv about Jlfi'.OOO.OOO, while the de
ficit will be about $02,000,000 gi eater
than last year. Fiom the closest cal
culation that can now be made, the
war levenue act, which, with the ex
ception of a few items, went Into effect
July 1, IS9S, will realize for the year a
little less than $100,000,000. The lecelpts
fiom tobacco alone will probably show
an Incrense for tho year of over $13,
000,000, spirits an Increase of $0,500,000;
beer and other fermented liquors an
Increase of over $23,000,000; oleomar
garine an Increase of about $555,000,
and tho lecelpts from hpetlal taxes,
documental y and pioprletaiy stamps
for the year will likely bring the in
ci eased lecelpts on account of tho war
revenue act up to ncaily $100,000,000.
The two Items In that act which have
produced more than ten times as much
revenue at uny two others are those
relating to documentary and piopiie
tiiiy htnmps. On Apt 11 30 last these
Items had pioduced over $36,500,000, and
It is not Impiobable that b;f July 1 that
amount will be Ineieased to over $41,
000,000. The tax on legacies will piob
ahly pioduce not much In excess of $1,
000,000. while the special tax collected
fiom bankeis will exceed $1,500,000.

Heavy Rains That Fall Nightly
Make Campaigning Uncomfortable
for Americans Filipino Women
Wiite to Otis.
Manila, June 21 9 p m The Insur
gent 111 my has taken to tho swamps
and hills bevond Iinus. The lnigest
foice Is supposed lo be In the nelghboi
hood of San Fianclscn Do Mnlabon,
holding position more townid the lake
or toward the coast accoullng as ex
igencies demand.
General Wheaton returned to lnnis
today, hinging tluee men who were
wounded In vesteiday's fighting .
The heavy rains that fall nightly
make campaigning unconifoi table.
The roads aie still good, but the lire
fields adjoining them aie pools of
water.
The Filipinos will not fight unless
they can meet our hoops In positions
most advantageous to themselves, or
take our roconnolterlng bodies In nm
bush. It Is impossible to learn what effect
the leceut defeat has had upon their
leadeis. This should be dWheai tell
ing, for thev had boasted that the
Amei leans could never conquer the
piovince ot Cavite, Agulnaldo's home
countrj, wheie he always woistcd the
Spanlaids.
fjeneral Otis lecently leceived a let
ter signed by native women of the
province declnilng that, if all the men
weie killed, the women would still
keep up the light against tho Ameil-cans.
PEACE CONFERENCE.
Receipts from Customs.
The receipts fiom customs show a
giatlfylng Incrense. For the month of
November, last year, the customs
yielded $15,315,000. and for the following
live months there was a giadual in
r rease 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 $2-'S.O00,00O was paid out on re
quisitions from the war depaitment
$64 000,000 on nccount ot the navy, $139,
000,000 on account of pensions and near
ly $40,000,000 on account of Intel est on
the public debt. $12,675,000 was paid to
the Indians and $117,290,000 was dls
buised on civil and mlsccllaneouu ac
count. At this tint" It Is Impossible to state
with anv degree of certainty what the
war with Spain and the tioubles In the
Philippines have cost, dining this year,
but an approximation has been made
01 the actual iash payments on these
accounts which places the amount at
$."50 000.000. This Includes the payment
of $20,000,000 to Spain, the $J.00o,r.OO
now being disbursed to the Cuban
tioopo, nnd the Interest chargo on the
loan made necessary for the war. A
calculation he? been made at the treas
111 y which shows that leaving out of
tho account the $230,000,000 expended
this ye.u on account of tho win, the
$100.000 000 pi minced by the war rev
enue act and tbe Sll.T0S.314 received
fiom the Cenhal Pacific, the llguies
would show a surplus tor the year ap
ptoxhnatlng $20,000,000.
