SAN JUAN DEL NoRrE SEIZED BY AN AMER
ICAN NATIONAL VEssEL.-New York April l.
-Advices received here yesterday, announce that
the port of San Juan del Norte was seized on the
18th of March, by the sloop-of-war Cyane
The affair grew out of the quarrel between the
citizens and the Nicaragua Transportation 20.
The Tribune says that the Cyane was sent to
San Juan by the late administration on the rep
reservations of the accessory Transit Company,
that their property and rights were in danger of
violation at the hands of the City Government.
A difference had grown up between the Company
and the Governmen The Company had moved
their depot away from the city, up the bay, on
land leased of the Mosquito king, which they
we've bound by the lease to surrender whenever
his agent at San Juan should require. They had
erected buildings there, and were drawing away
from the town the profitable trade of the passen-
gers to and from California.
In order to avert this commercial diversion, the
authorities got the Mosquito agent to call for the
surrender of the lease and the abandonment of it.
The company's agent refused to comply, where
upon it was determined to eject him, and remove
the buildings but on the eve of the execution of
this process, the Cyane arrived, and on the rep
reScntation of the clerk or the company, pro-
ceeded to land corps of marines and put an end
to the courts of San Juan and their writ, under
protest of the mayor and corporation, and to the
great dissatisfaction of the citizens
The authorities finding themselves under the
coQtrol of the military force, at once resigned.
On the morning of the 18th of March, the flag
OF the city was lowered with a salute of 81 guns,
and the commercial agent of the United States
of America, Henry L. Stevenson, furnished with
duplicate protest, accompanied by note. The
Consuls of other nations were furnished with
copies of the protest No government exists
all having been surrendered. The citizens had
organized committee of vigilance and safety.
