The Exemption Decree.
HAVANA. August l9-The following is
the decree issued yesterday in regard to ex-
emptions from the draft:
''The authorized exemption from military
service. on payment OF $1,000, without exemp-
| ton, having caused great numbers to ex-
empt themselves. largely diminishing the
| forces of the different corps of the cOntin-
| gent, which are strictly necessary for service,
| it is therefore found convenient to cease
| for the future exemptions for $1,000 in the
cavalry corps and the colored militia. and
| only the substitution of able bodied men
will be permitted. Exemptions from ser
vice in rhe infantry on the payment of $500
will be continued. CONCHA."
An Insurgent Raid.
On the night of the thirteenth the insur-
| gents burned the dwelling on the plansa-
| ton near Estrella, and Lagua was also as
saulted by band, supposed to be that of
| CarDba. Tne insurgents succeeded in Sc
| curing quantity OF money aud goods,
which they carried off. One of the men
| garrisoning the place was wounded.
Battle with Insureents-The Spaniards
| Defeated.
! The Spanish guerillas on the twelfth in
| stant discovered a band of insurgents under
| Jjmenez, and pursued them to Igneza, and
| the rebels made stand and the Spaniards
! attacked them but under unfavorable cir
| cumstsnces, receiving calling fire from
| the woods from which they suffered severe
| ~. Afterwards, the insurgents heavily re-
| inforced. charged with the machete.
Notwithstanding their inferiority in num-
beIs, the gueriilas valiantiy defended
| themselves, and although compelled finally
to withdraw, succeeded in carrying off their
wounded and killed. They were obliged to
leave on the field one captain and two
ientenants. The losses of the insurgents
must have been quite as heavy as the
gueTlias. 1ney 1Ougnt WIN great cOCr-
! age. In consequence of this check all the
| Spanish forces at different headquarters in
| the vicinity have taken the field.
The insurgents who raided through Sancti

mounted. They ran over the town crying
viva aud discharging their pistols and
lilies IN every direction. They attacked no
| house.

committee; a.so, great caution IL the mat
ter Of repairs and expenses generally, and
a cutting of OF all contracts that can be
dispensed with. The matters of rent and
repairs belong to the committee on school
Houses, except go far as buildings owned
by the city have been cared for by the
Administrator of Waterworks and Public
Buildings; and it is due to him and the
Council to say that they have done the best
for the schools the condition of the city
would admit.
No purchases should hereafter be made
without the approx al of the committee on
purchases and supplies Of the prices before
purchase: nor the bills approved by the
board until sanctioned by that committee.
The committee on finance can at best act
in such ma. tiers by seeing that the bill is as
contracted for, and report to the board
the condition of the appropriation out Of
which it has to be paid 1t has no informa-
ton or functions which would enable it
to decide the reasonableness or otherwise
Of charges. Such knowledge only comes
to it when the board is bound and it Is too
late to apply corrective;
We have requested the book-keeper OF the
finance department to open an aprropria-
rion ledger, and to classify all bills hereto
fore paid for 1874 under the various heads
OF the Official estimates for the year. This
will enable the committee in future report
to show how each account or subject OF
expenditure stands, a matter which has
been neglected, so far as we know, by all
the boards that have preceded the present.
We offer the following resolution rela-
tive to the payment Of the rolls for the Car
rolltOn schools:
Resolred, That the payrolls from and af
ter the annexation of the Carrollton schools
be amended 80 as to include the teachers OF
that district, at the rates of salary OF schools
of the class gramma: B; AM shall be pay
able out of the school funds of the parish
ana CITY at the same time with the teachers
OF other schools.

As $39,000 per month was the amount
estimated tor. here is an excess OF expendl-
ture Of S6656 Is in the first quarter OF the
year.
We will now give the figures indicating
the condition of the revenue for 1873 and
1874 as the law requires them TO be dis.
bursed for the expenses of each year
separately: The results here given are up
to July 81. 1874.
For 1873 the whole city assessment Zone
quarter of one per cent? was $339.737 II, of
which $277 ,626 q had been paid in, and
$62.ll0 s. were still outstanding. The as

The debts are the expenses of November
and December, 1873. or about $36 600 each
month. There is enough on hand to pay
more than half of the month of November,
hut nearly all the accounts on the pay rolls
having been transferred or held on GER
tifcate, we are informed by the officers OF
the treasury that 1t is next to impossible to
pay on account. The time required to
collect from delinquent taxpayers causes
long delay to holders.

more than half. Besides the city tax SO tar
realized there was received Jrue TO- by ap-
portionment from the State, a sum OF
Sl0.o90 SO, enabling the board so far to pay
about four months current expenses.
On the first of April the school treasury
received S3636 in State taxes of 1872, paya-

As the expenditures of the several months
have TO be paid IN succession and there ia a
sready arrearage of three months, the sala-
ries Of the teachers are sold at heavy dis
count and the board is paying exorbitant
prices for its purchases and. current ex-
nenses. Il is question between the teach
ers and employees and the taxpayers. or
rather between them and the general stag
nation of business which makes properly
nnremunerative and renders it difficult for
taYnayers TO meet the demands of the pub

In the matter of the applications of
several teachers for pay during absence
occasioned by sickness, the following ex
tract from section eight of Pct No. SO OF
1873, applies: ''Tne pay of the regul0r in
cnmbenr, in case Of absence from any cause,
shall be allowed pro rata for actual days
employed to the supernumerary or other
person temporarily acting The pay OF the
regular incumbent can not go TO the tenn

directors are required by their oath of office
to follow the law, and have ro choice N the
matter and no fund from which to vo- a

unforrr nate in many deserving cases.

On motion of Mr.. Dibble the report was
laid on the table subject to the call of the
charm an on special portions.
The resolutions were then successively
called up and passed eud several items
approved.
1.-THE president in the chair
Mr.. Ingraham offered the following,
which was adopted:
Resolred, That the sum of s2S4,000 be and
is hereby set apart as special fund to pay
the salaries OF teachers, employees and rent
of school buildings for the year 1874. TO be
paid upon the monthly rolls as it may be-
come due.
On motion of General Longstreet, it was
resolved that the schools be opened Mon
day, September 2l.
Mr.. Dumont, in memory of his late friend
and colleague, Colonel T. w. DeKlyne, Of
fered the following:
WHEREAs, God iu His infinite wisdom
has been pleased to remove by the hand of
death Colonel T. w. DeKiyne, member of
this board; and
Whereas, 1t is proper that this oard ex-
press its sense of this mela 1chOllJ and un-
expected event; be it
Resolred. That by the death Of Colonel
T. w DeKlyne the board of directors OF
the public schools of this city has lost the
services of most faithful and efficient
officer, and one who was always conspicuous
for energy and promptness in the discharge
of his duties. The cause of popular educa-
ton found in him a warm friend and sup
porter, and his services tended to increase
its Importance and diffuse its blessings
around all classes Of our people alike. In
his social relations he endeared all to him
by bis intelligence. manly courage, gen
erOsitv and the quf'ities which mark the
Christian gentleman.
Resolred, That we tender to his family in
their profound affection our heartfelt sym.
pathy and coincidence.
The resolutions were adopted.
