MANIFESTO OF CUBAN REvoLUTIoNIsTs.
Mr.. j. Valiente, general agent of the
Cuban reVolutionists, has issued an ad-
dress to the people of the United States,
in which he says the Cuban llberating
army has been gradually increasing,
Notwithstanding the losses consequent
upon a steady campaign, and now COM
prises some $4,000 men, under G, NJ.
Cespedes, who is commander.1n-ch chief
of that army and the head of the Re-
publican government duly established
within tie limits of the lines of the liS
beraters. Their lines run in westerly
direction from the eastern end of the
Island to Sague LIS Grande, without
reaching the seaboard either north or
south, for want of the requisite arma-
ment to hold il; but the territory point
ed out is nearly two.thirds the area of
Cuba in which slavery has been
abolished and in which the Spanish
control only the ground where they are
kept at bay: This has been done by
the patriots in n comparatively. short
time Notwithstanding their sad deti~
cheney in war material, and leads to the
belief that if they had been tolerably
supplied with such materials their
movement would now cover also the
remainder of the Island where no
uprising has yet taken place from the
utterwant of arms, whilst their enemies
are fully armed with the best approved
weapons OF the United States.
The Deputy Commissioner Of Inter-
nal Revenue, Douglas, has instructed
Assessor Webster that the average of
all money whether borrowed or. other
wise, used or employed during the
month by any banker in the business
of banking, excepting only the deposits
which are returned for tax, as such
should enter into the estimate of the
capital taxable, under section ITO of the
law now in force.
The reported scene between President
Grant and General Sickles, Is authori-
tatively denied. There is no reason to
believe the President intended to nomi-
nate Gen. Sickles for the Spanish Mis-
sion.
Collector G1innell has consolidated
the two divisions i'll the Custom House
under one deputy collector. 1t is un-
derstood this change dispenses with one
deputy ut 50, 600 n year, and number
of clerks, whose salaries amount TO
many thousands of dollars.
