THE SETTLEMENT GF LEE BAY ISLANDS
QUESTION.

~ sDIlH.N
Our las. diplomatic quarrel with England has been
exr,ng.isEcd by the adoption Of the British treaty
recognising The ,i.i.i ct honduras TO the Bay Islands.
On this point hung the sLle u-ic:;sihle difficulty IN the
way Of a penceublr solution Of Tho CcrIta! american
question.
The question Of The Mosquito Protectora;e was too
insignificant for discussion. Great Britain cared
nothing aiopt retaining this Improbable shadow 81
sovereignty, and v"uii t.ayr surrendered long ago
but for The laundering 6ciilse.rnt diplomacy of the
English Ministry. But to give Up an advantageous
naval position commanding tile entrance I" III" finest
harbnr on Eastern Central America, WA something ot
q concession. This she has done by cedlng the fortified
islands oi Ruatan aud the colony OF tho Bay Islands
back TO their rightiul government; of Honduras, thus
abandoning the last vcstiga nj substantial sovereignty
IN Central A,ner,cs. and complying with the Aineri-
can Interpretation. &c ioLg :es:sied by her, of the
Clayton Buiwer Treaty. The pence loving and the
this Ruthless international controversy ia al last put
