MEMPHIS.
Larger victory than First Reported.

MEMPHIS, August THE C0nserVa-
tive victory yesterday was much larger
than WAS supposed by the most 'anSuln"
supporters. the Conservatives having
carried every ward in the city except th"
Fifth, which only gave majority of 20
for the Republicans; the Conservative
majority in the city being 1885, and the
total vote was over 10000, or about 1000
more than the ordinary vote. This Is ac-
counted for on the ground Of the hostility
to the civil rights bin and mixed schools
ON the part o. the whites. The fact that
business was almost entirely suspended
and all went to the polls, while the gems,
who rarely vote and are very numerous,
were cnthu-rd in behalf of \. +. Frank
land. the yellow fever hero. who was 1t
candidate for the lucrative and important
office of tax collector and regarded as Il
representative man of their race, turned
out ea n,aSsc and worked for hi, election.

ty will be over 1000

rumor and one Of grave import, has prevailed
10 this city to-day, ana also, 1t Is learned here In
New YORK, 1t relates 10 the recent difficulties
experienced In the intercourse between our gov
eminent and that of Spain on account of the fitting
out and sailing Of the Cuban steamer virginius,
her capture by the Spaniards and the massacre OF
her crew ut Santiago de cuba. The rumor wss
to the effect that our government, through Mr.
Gushing, our Minister to Spain, latsly arrived at
Madrid, had made . peremptory demand upon
the Castilfau government for full indemnity for
the prisoners slain by order of Goveruor Burfel
and Tor the CONSEQUENT bereavemsnt and loss In
hicted upon their families.
This, 1t is ascertained. is not mere rumor, but
an absolute fact.
Your correspondent to-day called upon Mr..
Hamilton, Fish, Secretary of Slate, and requested
information upon the subject. The Secretary
responded freely but confdentially, and not as ii
the contingencies of the case demanded any fur
ther maintenance of deicacy and secrecy as to the
truth of the matter -
"fou may say" he said, "that the American
government has made prompt demand, and one
quite as decided and peremptory as that made
by tho British government for Indemnity for the
lives OF the prisoners destroyed, aud the loss to
their families"
