M.vpltin, Oct. 7. -The financial questions attending the dispatching of troops to Melilli to punish the Moors, who a few days ago attacked tho small Spanish garrison at that place, have caused the finance minister to make a close examination of the resources uvnilaMo for a punitive expedition. Minister of Finance llnmazo yesterday informed Queen Regent Christina that owing to n n increase of 40,000,000 pese tus in the revenue, due to the new taxation sehemes lately put into effect by Senor Uaina.o, the government has a revenue of 1)0,000,000 pesetas available for an expedition 'to Morocco if the government decides it necessary to send one. The utmost indignation everywhere prevails at the attempted massacre of the Melilli garrison. Patriotic manifestos call upon all men capable of bearing arms to offer their services to the government. The desire for vengeance upon the Moors for the moment overshadows the excitement caused bj the attempt of Pallas to kill Hen. Martine, de Campos by the attempt of anarchist plots. At Malaga, one of the important military stations, hundreds of men crowd Into the barracks and the prefecture, begging that they be enrolled as volunteers to light the Moors. The soldiers of the regular army are equally as anxious to be ordered to active service in Morocco. The heroism displayed by the 400 troops forming the Spanish garrison at Melilli is universally applauded. Those who know the warlike character of the people inhabiting the Riff mountains and the fury of their easily aroused fanaticism, express surprise that the natives did not succeed in taking the citadel by assault by the power of overwhelming numbers.
