RuMoRED NEGOTIATIONS FOR CUBA.-We
have the rumor from Washington that Presi-
dent Johnson, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Secretary of State, has appointed
Caleb Gushing to 60 out to Spain to negotiate
for the purchase of the island Of Cuba. In the
present posture of things there are two objec-
tons to this proceeding. First, the very un-
certain tenure of Office of the provisional
government at Madrid, or any other govern
ment there; and, secondly, the prospect by
waiting little longer of getting the island
without money and without price through the
action of the island itself as an independent
republic, d la Texas. Still, if Mr.. Gushing
has been commissioned to Spain let him go.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. II, 1885,
An important Misunderstanding has occurred be-

recently fitted out in this city, TO which General
Rousseau, commanding the Department. paid his
respects. The transports now lying in the Missis
sippi between here and Belize, the crews Of which

United States nag, that being the colors OF the YES

hoisted the Peruvian nag, when the crew mutinied
and refused to work the vessels on the ground that
they were no longer under the protection OF the
Stars and Stripes. Tonight the officers attempted by
main force to compel the crews to work the vessels to
sea; the crews refused, and all communication with
the shore at New Orleans was cut OF. The crews
then threatened that should an attempt be made to
force them to sea they would throw the officers
overheard. This had the desired effect, and the on
GERS at once appealed to the police force OF the city
for assistance. The police officials decned to inter-
iere on the ground that they had jurisdiction and
at this writing the conflict between the crew and
officers is progressing.
