SIR: Pursuant to your request, I have the honor to submit the following preliminary report, showing the receipts and disbursements of the government of the Philippine Archipelago for the fiscal year 1902, to June 30, 1902:

The audit of the accounts of the fiscal year is not completed at this early date, and the statements herein submitted are compiled from both audited and unaudited sources for the purpose of showing approximately the receipts and expenditures of the islands for the period stated. The amounts stated are, therefore, subject to such changes as the complete audit may indicate, but they will vary from the statements now submitted by a very small percentage.

The annual report for the fiscal year 1902 will be compiled and submitted at as early a date as practicable, as required by rule 38 of act No. 90, and will embrace all transactions of the fiscal year 1901 which remained unsettled when the annual report for that year was submitted, as well as all transactions during the fiscal year 1902.
