line. After long fight the Indians retired,
Their loss is not known. The Mexicans
lost six killed. Col. Wales intends to follow
and attack them again. He is of the opin-
ion they will try and get back to New Mexi-
CO, in which case Col. Grierson and eight
companies Of the 10th Cavalry, who are sta
toned within forty miles of their crossing
place, will doubtless be on their trail within
few hours after they cross.
THE Internal Revenue Bureau has
prepared a comparative statement, showing
receipts from several specific sources of rev.
enue for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1879
and 1880. Owing to reduction from "a cents
to Is cents per pound on manufactured to-
bacco the receipts from this source fell off

32-cent rate tax on snuff, and the estab-
lishment Of uniform rate, 16 cents per
pound, receipts from this source decreased
$267, 1929. The heaviest increase under the to-
bacco division was from cigars and cheroots,
So, O91 ,412. The total revenue in 1880 from to-
bacco in all shapes, cigars, snuff, ETC., was

The attention of United States Treas
urer Gilfllan having been called to pub
lished item stating that there had been a
want of accord between the Secretary of the
Treasury and the United States Treasurer in
regard to the manner of paying out silver
dollars, the Treasurer states emphatically
that such is not the ease, and never has been;
that the Secretary, early in the coinage, gave
orders that standard silver dollars should be
paid out freely at all offices. Under this
and of that amount $17,000,000 have
been returned to the Treasury in pay
ment of public dues in exchange for silver
certificates. Under the Secretary's order
more than "a per cent. of the total standard
dollar coinage has been paid out, while
there has been returned to the Treasury I'M
der the operation of the law As per cent. of
the amount paid out, leaving in circulation
S1S 800 600 which amount does not vary
much from the reduction since 1877 in 81 and
81 notes outstanding. Into the vacuum Gre
ated by the retirement of small notes silver
dollars have been forced, while the excess
has returned to the Treasury vaults. 1t
should be understood, the Treasurer said,
that the reduction in small-note circulation
was not produced by the Department. The
small bank notes were retired in compliance
with the Resumption act, and small green
backs were voluntarily surrendered, and
large notes taken in their place. The Treas
urer also stated that the reported disagree
ment in the Department with regard to the
number of standard dollars to be coined
monthly does not exist. There is no room
for difference of opinion npon that point,
since the language of the law is unmistaka-
BILE.
THE Peruvians are taking advantage
of the warning given them by the Chilians,
and are removing their women and children
from Lima preparatory to inviting a
bombardment. All male citizens between
the ages of 16 and 60 are compelled to bear
arms, aad a desperate resistance will be
made. The Chilians have given notice that
if they capture the city it will be given up to
pillage.
