English md Spanish. The document was important,
the mandate impressive, and on sunday the supple
ment wns printed. All kinds of rumOrs were stared,
The public mind anxious, and expect iney stoo /
ready 10 accept any al Tentative. President Rivas
was voted trump, and Minister FeIrer one Of the
boys. They had found time II the mihst OF their
msny eneacements. TO atten TO the Mosquito qre.-
ton: end with single decree had set al res matter
about which the United States and England had quar-
reled for years. Mosquito was annexed to Nicaragua,
and there was no necessity for further protocols
planatory of the Clayton.Bulwer imbrjgio. Truly
the cabinet of President Rivas deserved credit for 90
easy an adjustmeu, Of so important matter.
But in the midst of these congratnation,the inquiry
arose What must be done with Kinney dOzen
