It estimates the receipts at 135,500,000 guilders, or 4,000,000 below 1883 and the expenditure at 149,000,000, thus showing a deficit of 13,500,000 guilders; or 3,000,000 more than the deficit for 1883.

It appears that Señor Barrantes, who is most unpopular with the community at large, alarmed the Captain General considerably by reporting that the celebration of the annual festivals of the season at the houses of certain Influential residents, was only a cloak for holding secret conferences with a view to the discussion of a pronunciamente against the Spanish Government.
