FROM CUBA.-An Havana letter states that
Pueblo is still at Puerto Principe and Goyencbe
had returned with his army after three DAYS
desultory skirmishing, his second expedition
proving a failure. The Cubans continue to
burn and destroy every house and hut and all
the forage and every article in the immediate
vicinity of Puerto Principe. Their object is to
deprive the Spaniards Of the means of subsist-
ing on their horses and cattle. Every load Of
fodder will in future have to be brought from
longer distance and to be fought for at the
point of the bayonet. This will compel large
number of troops to remain in the vicinity.
In Holquin the insurgents appear to have
things almost their own way. When the
troops march against them they make them
selves scarce, and the moment the troops re.
turn to the encampment the insurgents burn,
rob or fight as the case may be. Every effort

PUBLIC ExPENDIrUREs.-Hon. j. G.. Blaine
has written letter to w. T. johnson of Au-
gusta on the public expenditures which we
copy below:
In the confusion which has arisen in some of
the public journals about estimates and ap-
populations and disbursements, the impress
sion has been created that Gen. Grants Ad-
minlstration had expended more money in the
same time than its immediate predecessor. -
ms Is totally erroneous, as the balance sheet
on comparison of official figures will clearly
establish. The present administration has
been in power nearly year, and we can COM
pare that period with the closing twelve
months OF President Johnson's Administra-
ton. From March LIST, 1868, to March 1st, 1869.
the total receipts into the Treasury were a lit
tie over three hundred and sxty-eight million
dollars. avoid fractions for the sake of
perspicuity. Every dollar Of this was expend-
ed and the public debt for the same peri
cd increased about $4,000, 900, as appears from
tho eAio;el p..hs;e@t;esa- al tha T.aasnru Nc.
partment, thus showing a total expendi-
ture tor the year of 1914 600, 900. The total
receipts into the Treasury for the first wear of
General Grants Administration, estimating
tor the few remaining days, will amount to
1894 100000 Out of this sum total $50 900 600
has been applied to the payment of the public
DEBT, thus leaving Tor the current expendi-
the public debt, 1914 100000, or CO. OOO 600 less
than was expended in the same time by Presi.
dent Johnson's Administration. The figures
are taken from official records, and their accu-
racy cannot be questioned. It will be observ-
ed that the receipts were $26, 600, 900 more in
Gen. Grants first year than in Mr.. Johnson
last year. Over $20,000,000 of this must be
credited to the Internal Revenue, which has
been much more faithfully collected, for it will
be noted that this large increase in amount
has been derived from the diminished
and contracted sources of taxation, many
of the taxes in force during part of the
year 1868 So having been repealed before Pres
ldent Grant came into Office. Whether re-
gard, then, be had to the fidelity with which
revenue is collected or the economy with
which it is expended, the comparison for the
past is undeniably and Overwhelmingly in ia
vor OF the present administration. For the
i ;usa the p, fullest confidence may be

TIE Argus has correspondent who is so il
logical and inconsequential in his reasoning
that he must be a descendant of the old orig
inal Non Sequitur himself. We think we can
moi mistake the author. We recognize the IA
miliar style of the editor whose proudest boast
it is that he is not "a graduate of Bowdoin."
There is recklessness of statement, parade
of quotations from the PRESS that are not quo
tations, and general disregard of one of the
ten commandments that give the article on
"the municipal election" the fragrance that
belongs to nothing but the Argus Office. We
need only to say that the article advocates the
reelection Of Putnam on the ground that the
Republican party is more corrupt and unrelia
BILE than the Democratic, and that his candi.
date for some Office having no connection with
the city government was not appointed.

well as myself, that it has been extensively

judgement, is warranted by the facts.
1 have seen and used, as before stated, every
form of Buchu-the powdered leaves, tncture,

paration Of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve

DEAR SIR: have been sufferer for upwards of
Twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney ahec-
.o' .-rsng which time have used various medi-
cinal preparations, 49,. urds, ,ba treotmart
of the most eminent physicians, eAp.-.-ncing but
little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adver-
tised consulted my family physician in regard to
using your Extract Buchu
did this because had used all kinds of adver-
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious: in fact, despaired Of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remidies
hereafter unless knew of the Ingredients. Il was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As
you advertised that it was composed OF buchu Gu
beds, and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination; and,
with his advice, alter examination of the article
and consulting again with the druggist concluded
to try it. commenced to use it about eight months
ago at which time was confped TO my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graft
lied at the beneficial effect and after using 1t three
weeks was able to walk out felt much like writ
ing to you full statement of my at the time,
puI tuougnt my Improvement might only be tenn
porary, ard therefore concluded to deler, and see
If it would effect perfect cure, knowing that It
would be Of greater value to you and more satisfac-
tory to me.
L AM NOW ABLE TO REPORT THAT A CURE Is EFT.
FEcTED AFTER USING THE REMEDY Fur FIVE
MONTHS.
| HAVE NOT USED ANY NOW FOR THREE MONTHS
| AND FEEL AS WELL IN ALL RESPECTS As EvE1
DID.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant tast
and odor, nice tonic and invigorator of the syste

| may require its use in such affections.
