THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS
:, WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Secretary of the
treasury states that the purchases of bonds
under the notice issued to the Assistant Treas
urer at New York, was made in conformity to
the act of 1862, and that it is not the design OF
the Secretary to put these bonds again upon
the market; nor is 1T his expectation that they
will in any form be re-issued. His object is
the reduction of the principal and interest of
the public debt. Arrangements are being made
in the Treasury Department to carry into exc
cuton the provisions OF the act of 1862, relative
to the establishment OF the sinking fund.

NO information concerning an alliance

for no other reason it is not customary to COM

ments to foreign representatives. The London
telegram at first occasioned spirited comment
but tonight nobody appears to attach full
credit to the announcement. The President
and Secretary Boutwell, were early informed

this they had no information.

NEW YORK, May ia Washington dis
patch says:
Information received here to-day by the
government from sources which leaves little
room for doubt shows that the Cnban insur-
gents are not making any Roadway; that the
Spanish army will, in very short time, put
an end to the insurrection, and that nothing
remains of the Cuban forces but detached
parties acting as guerrilas. This is not the
Spanish side of the story, but the statement
OF an agent OF our government in Cuba, who
has been close observer OF affairs there. 1t
Is proper tc say, however, that the Cuban
partizans in this city deny the reports that
the insurgents are exhausted, and assert that
the agent has informed himself only on one
side of the question, and that he knows moth
ing of the resources of the other''
HAVANA, May 12.-Acsounts from Spanish
sources represent that after the fight at Alta
Gracia, Gen. Lesca reached Puerto Principe
with his convoy, the insurgents being unable
to detain him, and that the Cubans lost 1000
killed and wounded; the Diario says 1000; but
the Voc de Cuba doubts the correctness of the
Diario's information.
Gen. Letonia, who made the official repart
of the affair at Alta Gracia, gives few details
He says since the fight the rebels cannot get
together 1000 men.
The taxes for the coming fiscal year are to

HAYTI.
Haytien dates of April 22d state that the
attack upon the ports of Aux Cages having
failed, Salnave had ordered the withdrawal
of the war steamer Alexandra Potion from
that place, and the vessel had accordingly
left for Port au Prince. The port was, there
fore, open to foreign commerce once more.
The plain around Aux Cages had also been
cleared of the pickets, and the revolutionists
being masters of the whole southwestern dis
trict communication between Aux Cages and
Jacmel had been reopened. All the impor-
tant towns of the south were in the hands
of the revolutionists The enemies of Sal
nave were jubilant at the recall OF Mr. Hol-
lister, regarding it as proof of the unfriend-
illness of the American government towards
Salnaye. But his adherents, on the other
hand, point to the appointment of success
sor to Mr.. Holister as evidence that the gov
eminent at Washington looks upon Salnavs
as the only legitimate ruler of Hayti.
