Mosquito King But some british SUBJECTS h'd
proptrty interest in the question; a?d' above al'
decree Of impor'snce was already beginning 10 oe
attributed to TIE Is;bmus of Nicaragua and reliance
was placed on the facility for opening through II
great ipier.oceanic communication
From this moment the ambition OF the holders OF
these titles knew no bounds They all disputed win

they had in reality already been established there

everything else which the pretended kiug OF Mos

teipc accustomed 70 reconcile differences between tue
sovereign States of Mosquito began to get so much
alarmed 81 such an accumulation of claims and con-
Aic,ne prett nsons that upon the entrance of some
Pru.sisns into the business he determined al last to
venture upon coup dttaf which destroyed the plans
and disspated the illusions OF the new soyereigns'
The result did appear doubtful but he hesitAted
between the alternative Of declaring soemny thst
these ACQUISITIONS belonged TO English subjects and oil
prrpoupcug them valid of the same, under the Protec
ton of the British Government, or Of anuulng the
trspsl,rs and involving the English holders IN rum
while renstating the Mosquito King in all HIS former
rights Of property and domnion The ster eHpedient
seemed preferable and was finally adopted by Col
Macdonald. who advised the Mosquito King accord
ipgly Accordingly Mosquito decree was Issued en

BY which the measure was accomplished states that
lit is notorious that nearly if not all the transfers OF
land made in the Mosquito country were Improperly
obtained from the deceased King ichO nerer Tecered
a,y eqriraicni for The same, have the services
promised been rcndered and many OF the transfer
.rees obtained said transfers from the deceased King
"when the latter was NOT in a sound state Of mind;
and also that the greatest portion Of said transfers
are now in the possession OF extremely poor aud
'nso,vent persons" Tor these reasons all the grants
in question were declared TO be unnulled aud
abolished.
Many efforts have subsequently been made, some
Of them at a very recent date, in order 10 obtain
from the British Government the annullment OF this
decree, but they have proved Intellectual and the de-
cree still EXITS in all its force.
These aDnuled and exploded grants afford the only
origin foundation and title possessed by the so called
Central American Land and Mining Company, de-
cptiou through which il has been proposed to delude
those Of The American people who have money to
speculate With. That class of tellow-citzens ID
now comparatively limited and the danger OF their
being taken in by the scheme is just now quite small
Tie public at large will however hardly fail to re-
cOsnze the prnpret Of bOmbsrding and burninga
of thousand Inhabitants in order to clear the way tor
colonies to be planted by virtue of these worthless
titles. 1t may be added that long before this bonn
bardment had given the scheme importance, the en-
terprise was denounced in the Senate by Gen. Csss.
