WASHINGTON, April 3-9P.M
Dispatches have been received here from Captain Ho
Inns of the soop ofwar Cyane giving detailed account
of the proceedings at San Juan de Nicaragua Instead
of his having nterered in violation Of the wishes Of the
British Consul directly the appears to have been
the case and therefore, the statement that the Consul
had despatched messenger to the Belize ordering San
Juan British vessel of war is all moonshine According
to Captain Hoins defpaches appears that the Ameri
cans attached to the Transit Company establishment
probably fearing the violence of the mob Greytown or
San Juan, applied to the British Consul for pro-
lection That funcionary told them that he could not
interfere in behalf of American citizens but advised
them TO apply to Captain Hoins who was lying off the
harbor with the Cyane They accordingly did So and
the captain then the British Consul and after CON
sultation with him and the Americans ne adopted the
necessary measures for the protection of the property

WASHINGTON April 3-Midnight
Dispatches have been received at the State Depart
ment from Capt Hollis by which the facts in regard to
the recent coup dco Of the Cyane are fully disclosed
1t appears that the called town of San Juan is under
the control opersons from all countries among the
rest-who have sworn allegiance to the Mosquito King
Our government does not recognise his red skinned
esy, and since the British protecorate has been aban
doned the town revers to the Nicaraguan government
under which the American Transit Company have full
power by their charter to retain possession of the prem
ses from which they sought to be arbitrarily elected
The Cyane sent there to protect the rights and
property of American citizens and Capt Hollis his done
his duty more and no less. His meets the
unqualified approval of General Pierce, and further or
ders of similar tenor to those under which the Cyane
has acted win be forthwith despatched. The President
will seize this Opportunity to put rela ons with Cen
trail America, so fsr the Mosquito King, the British
pr,tcctorate and the municipality of San Juan are con-
cerned, well defined, explicit and permanent basis
The Cysnc has made good beginning 1t will be sus
tanned and followed out if necessary, for it is well under
so ID that other than peremptory is eaectua
in that quarter Great Britain have the face to
den,ur, if she inclined because this method
ofacrg Grst and negotiating afterwards is only parallel
with her own policy in Central American affairs.
There is rumor in the city to night, which by
the way Of Charleston that engagement has taken
place of San Juan between the Cyane and an English
soop of war in which the latter was captured after
sharp contest with serious loss both sides. The story
is discredited here the dates from San JUAN by
steamer at New York, receut than could have
been received at Charleston by any sailing vessel
