CUBA.
Steps Proposed by an English ANTI
EIaVeFY society TO Bring about
an Equitable Termination
of the War.

LONDON, June "A deputation from
an anti-slsvery society, comprising Sir
7. Basel, F. Taylor COrbett, Pease Kin
naird and Evalyn Ashley, all members
OF parliament, yesterday presented a
memorial to Lord Derby, urging on the
government the duty of taking decisive
steps, by way of friendly mediation, to
bring about an equitable termination of
me war in Cuba and the abolition of the
slave trade. Mr.. Ashley said that as the
United States had relinquished the idea
o. anneXing Cuba, its good offices mighs
be relied on to support this movement.
Others Of the deputatiOn called atten-
tion 10 the atrocities in the coolie traffic
Lord Derby replied that government
had nauqht for which to interfere in the
cOOlie question. An assertion made by
the memOrislists that the Cuban war
was fast eliminating in favor OF the in
surgents was at least premature. He
did not think Spain would view any
proposal Of mediation favorably. She
would doubtless answer, "We must first
finish the Carlists, then we shall have
all our forces dispOsable for finishing the
war in Cuba. At the same time, con-
tinued Lord Derby, the British govern
ment would be very glad to avail itself
of any propect that was offered for
putting an end to the existing state of
things in Cuba. The emancipation of
al0vas womb, no doubt, sooner or later be
accomplished. Tne slave Uuuors arc
aware Of this, and are only fighting for a
continuance OF the present system. He
believed that emancipation could not be
accomplished by itself, but must form
part Of the complete scheme for the pa
cifcstion of the island. The present
time was not favorable for English inter-
ference. He believed the United States
did not desire to annex Cuba, but at the
same time the American government
and people would receive any attempt
of England to interfere between Spain
and Cuba with considerable suspicion
and be apt to put wrong construction
upon it.,

Interview between the President and
the IndIaRs-Failure 10 Negotiate
-IadIans Refuse 60 Sign
Agreement.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Presi-
dent had 8 council with the Indians at
the interior department to-day. The
press and all outsiders were excluded.
The commissioner gives the following
synopsis OF the Interview: The PTesi-
dent explained the agreement that had
been drawn, relinquishing the right to
hunt in Nebraska and reserviDg to them
the country north OF the Nebraska river
outside Of their reservation. All the
country north of the North Platte is
considered as unceded territory. By this
they give up portions Of their country
and reserve the part where the Red
Cloud and Spotted-Tail agencies are To-
Gated. He said the twenty-five thou
sand dollars were for presents, and not
TO be given in money. He offered to al
low them to name the person to receive
the money and buy such things as they
wanted, if the person named was prop
er person to receive it. He expressed his
desire to see them well provided for dur
ing his term of office, and asked them
again TO consider the question of remOv-
ing to the Indian Territory. Spot
ted-Tail said that the govern
ment was asking too much; that
a certain portion Of their country had
never been ceded, and he wanted TO
know when they were to be paid for
that. He alluded to the section which
they still intended to retain. He de-
clined to sign the agreement, and said
he would go home to his people and
send word back what he would do. He
was told the money would lapse into
the treasury on the thirtieth Of June,
and he asked if some one here could
hold it until they could return to their
country and send word back what his
people would do. Much further con-
versation followed upon the subject, and
the President was finally compelled to
leave, the Indians having declined to
sign the agreement.

From an Occasional CorrespOndentl
CoRINTH, Miss, June 1.-The quiet
Hide city Of COrinth was the scene Of
quite destructive fire on yesterday,
the gas-WOrks here being totally con-
euB1gl, and we fear the company will
be unable 20 repair their severe loss for
a considerable time. A city that cAE
boset OF the mammoth hotel and com
rnercial emporium Of Z. Rubel & Co,
however, has enterprise and ability suf-
ficieut TO organize new company, IL
necessary, aud conduct the business on
4 more extensive scale than ever.
The crOD prospect in all our northern
counties was never better. The wheat
crop is almost ready for harvesting, and
the yield will be unprecedented. The
corn and cotton crops are very prOmis-
ing indeed, and with considerably more
Of the former than has been planted
any one year since the war. With pro-
pitiOus seasons and an escape from the
arlny-wOrm, our people will be in a
better and more prosperous condition
this fall than they have for many
years.
Our city is improving very rapidly,
and the new and magnificent buildings
springing up IN every direction are the
wonder and admiration of all our visit
0Ts. There are two Of the most eXten-
sive foundrys in operation here to be
found outside Of your own city, and one
cotton factory with everything furnished
complete, and ready to begin work as
soou as the present crop is gathered. TIE
buIliinr Of the North Mississippi cotton
manufacturing company, located here,
is one Of the largest and best of the kind

early completion Of the Birmingham
rosd. and when that is accomplished

The most conclusive and satisfactory
character. He will be ably defended by

the sea, in my judgment, is not proper
ly understOOd yet. Farragut's cOncep-
ton and execution Of the great capture
OF the lower Mississippi had much more
influence on the close Of the war than
anything General SheTman's army did.
But people must not be surprised at this
stopping over, for he has been doing this
all his lie. This is enough, | trust, 10
give the people an index Of my opinion
Of the Memoirs and their author. Ap-
parenty he IL impatient for advance

satisfied with what be has already Oh
tanned. BE made war like brigand,
while many other generals never forgot
that they were making war on their
own cOuntrymen. General Grant learn
ed the character Of his lieutenant long
before the war was ended, and now, il
Sherman is ignored by the administra-
ton, he can only thank himself for it.
The march TO the sea up to Atlanta was
well done, but beyond that the
enemy disappeared from before Sher.
mans army and followed Thomas, who
demolished them at Nashville. Ii is IL

ended the war, put up the price Of gold,

do with any Of these than the man in
the moon. He did, however, leave a
black streak in his rear, for which, no
doubt, some OF his cOuntrymen justified
him. / think, however, that it will,
some time or other, be considered dis
graceful by the great christian world.
When the press RECEIVERS from the shock
it and the country received on the ap-
pearance OF the Memoirs, take it for
granted that IL will showl less indulgence
aud leniency toward the author than Is
has done thus far. 1t appears to have

Dedication Of the Temple at New York

Over TWenty-FOur Thcusand OF the
Brethren Of the zystic T!e in

An Enthusiastic Reception by the Pop

Popularity Of the Great
Order.

NEW YORK. June 2.-The ceremonies
of the dedication OF the new Masonic
temple, at Twenty-third street and Sixth
avenue, may be said to have begun yes
terday evening, when the annual ses-
sion Of the grand lodge OF the State was
opened. Very much to the satisfaction
of thousands who paraded to-day in the
Masonic procession, and 10 their sym
pathizinZ friends who numbered many
more thousands, the sun rose upon an
entirely cloudless sky, and the second OF
June was ushered in by the most faVOra-
BILE OF Natures auspices. AT an early
hour the city was astir witn Masonic
bodies moving from their headquarters
to the poiLt designated for them by the
marshal OF the 0sy, an unusual prompt
ness having been observed by most Of
them, and the result was that at the
hour named for ali to be il line, very
few commandeTies or bodies were out Of
place. The side streets and avenues
leading to the head Of the line were gay
with music and the floating banners of
the knights Templar. Everywhere the
red cross showed in the sun, and the
familiar motto, an Hoe Sig1O PinceS,"
met the eye at every turn. SO0n after
nine o'clock three guns were fired IN
quick succession from Washington
square, and Immediately the signal to
move was communicated to the head of
the line, at Nineteenth street, by the
waving of guidons, Marshal Preston
and his aids then took their positions at
the head of the line, and the pro-
cesgion, marshaled in twenty divisions,
took up its march. Preceding the Ma
sons came twenty-fOur mounted
policemen and two platOOns Of officers
on foot. The marshal's staff and mount
ed aids were all designated by cOnspicu-
GUS badges, and wore their handsome
jewels upon the left breast. The COM
manderfe5 looked well, and the elegance
of their appointments, together with
excellence Of discipline, obtained for
them many favorable comments
along the line of march. Banners
were occasionally supported by force
of knights, arranged iR the shape Of 3
cross. The Evening Post says the pTin-
cipal feature was the Detroit command
cry No. l. This commsndery is said to
be the most efficient in the peculiar drill
of the Knights Templsr Of sny organi-
zatiCn III the country. They were not
long in demonstrating their claims to 5
great deal of credit for celebrity and SOL
dierly precision, for soon after the line
moved they began their evOlutiOns and
continued them at short intervals.

From Hot Springs.

From an Occasional Correspondent
HOr SPRINGS, ARK, May 31.-H you
have small space in one corner of
your paper, where you can squeeze a
few lines from this locality into, will
try to furnish you q few items. Before
this reaches you, the celebrated murder
trial of John w. Decker, of Columbus,
Ohio, who killed Colonel Butterfield
early this spring, will probably be
ended. The majority OF the public
opinions here expressed are decidedly IN
favor Of an acquittal at the hands of the
present jury. The man on trial is fine
looking fellow, about twenty-five years
Of age, and looks altogether too good
nstured for a murderer. His father is
here, and pays all the bills contracted
by his sou, who il the only child he has.
Tne old man is q jOvisl, gOOd-natured,
clever individual, and is said to be
bounteOusly blessed with the necessa-
ries and commodities OF life. His whole
aim seems now to be, TO be permitted to
take his son home to the mother who
bore him, and whose love for her only
child is undoubtedly paramount to all
other earthly desires. The jury is all
made up Of men from the rural districts,
generally well.built, intelligent-lUok-
ing men, and their decision will proba-
bly, be fnality OF the case. The court
house is asmall temporary concern, near
the Hale house, and il is certainly tor
tuIOus to be coOped up, day after day, il
such a diminutive place, during such
weather as now prevails in Hot Spring q
valley. The nights are pleasantly coOI,
bat the days generally hot and sultry.
Visitors still keep coming from all parts
Of the world, and more Memphians
among them than some home folks
have any idea Of. Some Of them dislike
to see their names mentioned in the
newspapers, but knowing that Captains
George and Mark Cheek will have no
objections, will merely mention that
they are here, and probably will be long
eT than this correspondent, who intends
returning to the Bluff City in few days.
Taking ii all around, there are much
worse places in America than Hot
Springs.
