E1 C,ontsM de Nueva- York nos
hace saber que a propuesta de la di
reccion de Hacienda de la Habana Sc
ha expedido, con fecha Is de mayo,
un impor' ante decreto, cuyo artlculo
unico, dice asf:
GEL pago del va'or sef1alado q los
efectos timbrados de todas classes que
Sc expenden por cuenta de la Hacien-
da Sc hara desde ell dia de hoy en- orc
8 su equivalente en- biletes del Banco
Espa1ol 8 sea con ell aumento de
ciento por ciento cn dichos billetes." !"
Esta disposition es en- extreme JUS
ia porque era un contrasentido que Ell
la isla hermana Sc estuviesen Tagando
los selios de correos y de telegratos,
ell papel sellado etc. a m6nos de Ia mi
tad que en- Pue.to Rico. A1emds
dicha medida trae como consecuen
cia ineludible que cese en- parte el
manejo que nosotros hemos denuncia-
do y que era una de las causas de que
la Hacienda de Puerto-Rico perdiera
1nuchos miles de pesos por baja Ell la
:venta de efectos timbrados, pues a los
expenditures no les convendra en- 10
,adelante traer estos efectos de Cuba
imitando las sencillas rdbricas que los
liferencian, teniendo que pagarlos ALA
en- orc. .~
Sabemos que la Intendencia Sc
ocupa en- estudiar los medios de que
esta renta no siga sufriendo ell que
branto que hace amos viene notandose
en- ella. Nsootros creemos que uno
de los medios que convendria adop.
tar seria ell de remitir los efectos tim
brados que quedasen despues de he
cho el canje al Supreme Tribunal de
Cuentas del Reino como comproban-
tes, y no practicar aqu1 las quemas

something decidedly wrong in our
police arrangements. On Friday
morning, the fire alarm vas not
sounded Until the fire had made
such headway, that, even lad there

We are credibly informed that the
first alarm was givch by a son Of
Mr. W. r.. Garrison, who resides
some distance from the centre Of
the town. Happening to be up
earlier than usual, he observed the
glare of the fire, and went in tho
direction indicated. Seeing tho fire,

sounded about four o'clock on Fri
i " morning. and was caused by tic
burning of.ttsc mill belonging tn
Mr.. ", B. CrGiSht. near the freight
depot of the Charlotte, C0lunbi,
and Augusta Railroad. The origin
e thc li:c is not Known, but it is;
generally believed TO have been
caused by the falling OF IL spark or

torn up, to prevent its burning near
the depot. The telegraph posts OF
both the Western Union and the
Southern and Atlantic company, were
destroyed, and the wires were down
for short distance. The entire
loss suffered by Mr.. Creight and the
