Unsatisfactory Result of our span.

Of our Government.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.
A Washington special says it seems
probable that the negotiations OF Caleb
Gushing have not been as successful
as had been expected. The President,
in his message, said the Government
of Spain had submitted 10 Mr.. Gushing
certain proposals which, il is hoped,
may be found to be the basis,
if not actual submission, OF terms
TO meet the requirements OF the
particular griefs of which this
Government has felt itself entitled to
complain of. 1t is manifest from the
consideration of the Spanish note that
the proposals submitted do not so
nearly furnish the basis as had been
hoped. 1t remains to Ire seen whether
the Pi esident, in his special niessaRe,w VIII
re-emphaze these words: "Should the
conflict not soon be brought to an end
by the act of the parties themselves,
other nations will be compelled to az

as to the ~pacitication of Cuba. 1t Is

Yesterday the last Spanish note was
discussed at some length. Although
the note is conciliatory enough i'll tone,
and is, i'm q certain sense, satisfactory,
vet it leaves matters in such a share
that il is not improbable that the Pres

announce to Congress a determination
Of any of the important questions
which have been the subject OF cores
popdence between the two Govern
ments. The President will. therefore,,
submit the disposition OF the matter to
Congress, and from expressions OF
members it ma be expected there Will
be some exceptions taken to the policy
OF the Adminisir ration. A Distinguished
member of tke House, who has served
with distinction on the COMMITTEE on
Foreign Affairs, ard who will, without
doubt, be again placed on It, stated n
positive dissatisfaction with the inter-

would be no excuse for thai Belllger-

only proper course.
The President, i'm view of the import
ance of the int oceanic canal project,
decided at the last moment to withhold
any allusion to it in his annual mes

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. III.
The following account of the origin
| of the riots at Rolling Fork IN lsso-
guerra county, Miss, is obtained: On
| Saturday night, Nov. 9th, a party of
negroes had assembled AT the village
and were drinking and carousing. One
of them pushed a youth, whom be
met in the street, to one side, using
rough language. AT the same time
the youth responded with a pocket

knife, inflicting a scalp wound on the
negro, and then fled To a store for safe
w. The remaining negroes became
very much e~xaspera,ed and vowed
vengeance; and to prevent this war
rants were obtained for the youth,
charging him with assault with intent
to kill, but before it could be served
the negroes had broken into the store
and beat young Laird severely with an
iron tar, and finally one of them shot
him in the thigh. At the report OF the
pistol the negroes ran, but the whites
had begun to assemble, and fearin1
