DISCLOSURES IN REPORTS. ^KvrrythtuK In Sight Cninpellrri to Contribute to the Public Kxchequer—Suniumry of Keventieii and Kxpenditureii, Salaries of Officers and Appropriations For Public Improvements. Washington, March 29.—People who take exception to the income tax and the few internal revenue taxes imposed in the United States may take some satisfaction in learning how much worse off are the French in this respect, as disclosed in a report to the state department by United States Consul Wiley at Bordeaux. He shows that every form of legal • paper, checks, notes and documents, bills of lading, even lithograph posters must have a revenue stamp affixed. From this source the treasury draws its principal revenue, amounting last year to |l-l(),tKK),tKK). The spirit and Wine tax amounted to $120,000,000. The customhouse receipts were $100,000,000; tobacco, watches, playing cards anil other government monopolies yielded ^180.000,000. Sugar paid an internal revenue tax of .052 cents per pound— 120,000,000 in all. The land tax brought in $59,(500,000 and personal property $28,000,000. If a clerk occupied a hallroom he pays a tax of $2 per annum, while Ins landlady not only has to pay for her poodle, but for every door and window in the house. As the treasury receives $12,000,000 per annum for win dows alone, the architect who can design a house with the least possible amount of ventilation does the best business. If you own a horse, carriage, billiardtablo or bicycle, you are taxed—the government collects $(5,400,000 annually for permitting such luxuries to exist, and a bill was recently introduced in the chambers to tax the wearing of cor sets. Business licenses bring in $24,000,000 per annum. Katioim! Rxpcimet*. As to expenditures, the interest on the national debt is $270,000,000 and the maintenance of the 580,000 men in tin army, for which the French are ruining themselves, costs $130,000,000. Tin navy 008ts $60,000,000 each year, and it costs $12,000,000 a year to run the govcVnmeut match, tobacco and card factories, for individuals cannot make or sell the things. Salaries cost $2,(500,000 for tne president, senators and chambers, and the president’s salary is $240,000 per annum—nearly five times as great as our own president’s salary— and the French executive has a 7-year term. The judiciary costs $8,000,000, and the as state also pays the priests, $!*,- 000,000 goes to that account. The foreign office ami diplomatic service costs $1,000,000, and when it comes to public works, not less than $40,000,000 is spent annually, making our river and harbor and public building appropriations seem ridiculously small. There are many other items of expense, requiring the exercise of ingenuity to devise new taxes from time to time, and how long the French can continue to support such an expensive establishment is a matter of speculation.

Washington, March 22.—Advices received hero confirm the reports that the negroes in Cuba are rising in revolt and are seeking to make the revolution a racial one. It is denied, however, that the negro forces have defeated the government forces with a loss of 200. It is said this report is inspired by the revolutionists in an effort to draw money from the filibustering element in this country. The final reply of Spain to Secretary Gresham’s demands in the Alliauea affair has not yet been received. Attempt to Fire Churches, Washington, March 22.—Attempts were made yesterday to set on fire two of the largest Catholic churches in the city—St. Patricks and St. Dominies.

Washington, March 22.—Although Mr. Thurston, the Hawaiian minister, refuses to discuss the causes that led to his estrangement with Secretary Greshi, his friends think it only fair to him refute the published allegation that he has betrayed diplomatic secrets, admitting that Mr. Thurston did as alleged, his friends assert that he did not exceed his diplomatic duties in the slightest respect, in making public the sviuencea imposed on several Hawaiian conspirators by the military court. The proceedings of the court were conducted openly and the sentences of the prisoners mut been publicly announced in Hawaii ami all the facts reached fmn Francisco by the Irst mail steamer from the islands. Mr. Thurston’s friends say he never abused official confidence or betrayed any official communication contained in the correspondence between his government and himself aud the government of the United States or
any of his representatives.
It is admitted that it would have lieen a manifest impropriety for him to have divulged any information received from the secretary of state touching the relations between Hawaii and the United States. At ti:e siune time it is ciaiuied for him that lie was perfectly free to publish any information he desired in i .//Jaegard to events in the Hawaiian repub- / lie that came into his possession entirely independent of the state department, provided he did not comment on the action of the United States govern
ment in regard thereto.
The suggestion is made here that a movement will be made in the future looking to Hawaiian annexation, and that Mr. Thurston’s intimate knowledge of affairs, both in this country and Hawaii, will lead to his having a prominent connection with any commission on the part of Hawaii to negotiate for terms of admission to the Union.

Pbovidenck, R. I., March 23. — Thomas Higgins was arraigned yesterday charged with assault and battery on his son, a year and a half old, and was held in $5ob for trial. While drunk Higgins went home and found the child crying. According to the story told by Mrs. Higgins, this enraged him and snatching the boy he held him over a boiling teakettle until he was frightfully burned and went into a hysterical lit. Upon complaint of Ids wife Higgins w.as then placed under arrest. \Vrtt«r For Irrigation, Santa Ff., N.

Work has been progressing for two years and now a lake is formed half a mile long, quarter of a mile wide and 70 feet keep. There is water enough | flowing through the canon to fill this 1 reservoir at least three times a year and work will therefore be pushed on a second reservoir, which alone will hold i water enough to irrigate (5,000 acres of I

A coroner’s jury has been empamieled which views the remains as they are brought up and turned over to the relatives. The agonizing screams of widows and children about the mouth of the mine beggars description. The mules that were in the mine are so burned that they have to be removed on account of the odor before the work can proceed. TOKTl’KKI) AND KOliUKD. liurghirs G«'t UMIOO I ruin an Old Cnupl©

Bradford, Pa., March 22.—Wednesday night at Palmers Mills, a lonely spot on Marvins creek, an aged couple were tortured and roblicd by masked men, the robbers securing over $(500. The couple, Mr. and Airs. Merritt Childs, who are over 70 years of age, were about to retire, when a knock canto at the door. The old lady answered the summons, and was met with a blow on (lie head which felled her to the floor. The husband, whocame to her assistance, was similarly treated, and three masked men entered the house. The husband and wife were then bound anil gagged, while the robbers ransacked the premises, finding $500. This did not satisfy them, and Mrs. Childs was asked to tell where the balance of the money was hidden. She refused to divulge, whereupon the fiends bared her feet and pressed them against the redhot t^ove. She stood the torture until her feet were terribly burned, and then made known the place where another $100 was secreted. This experiment encouraged the robbers and hot It the old people were put through the torture again for the purpose of extorting more money. All that remained of the savings of the husband and wife was 30 cents. This was secured by the men, when Mr. and Airs. Childs were again bound and left to their fate. They were discovered yesterday morning by neighbors in a pitable condition. Mrs, Childs will probably die front the effects of the shock and torture, but the old
Sioux City completely destroyed the warehouse of the Western Transfer company yesterday, together with its contents, entailing a loss of more than $500,(XX). The high wind which was blowing communicated the fire to the linseed oil mill across the street and it was partially destroyed and the greater part of its contents consumed, making a total loss of $600,000. The wind, which had been from the southeast, now changed and increased in velocity, blowing for a time directly from the east. This communicated the flames to the
