s,ked him BY what night Gen. Walker prevented
American citizens from leaving the country He re-
piled that Americans talked great deal and leaving
the country at that uncture and reporting the state OF
affairs would prevent others from arriving, con-
"quently those American citizens who were
then there ought to suffer confinement In
tie country in order that Walker might carry out bis
plsbs-showipg coDclusively nae that Wheeler was
Interested in Walkers to the injury Of Amerl-
can ctzeL. then III Granada. Wheeler is nothing but
tool of Walkers, and it is OF no use whatever for
Americans to ask Of him redress for any wrongs they
suffer. Government could hardly be mere unPOp1-
lar than is Walkers throughout the entire country.
When went TO Granada last September, there were
at least 1000 people in the place. ard there not
DOW left 5oo They have all fed to the upper States.
Mr. 'ahdyke, the Private Secretary of Wheeler, 1t
the time Father Will left desired to come to the United
States, but vas refused a passport, General Walker
saying be talked too much; but Major Heiss, emf
renty sac person, and in the interest Of Walker
came to the United States bearer of dispatches.
There is no doubt that Wheeler uses all his infu
ence in favor Of Wsker and in opposition the inter-
eets Of American citizen. in Nicaragua Some time in
Aprl polite notes were sent around for Americans to
bring their arMs with them and parade on the Plaza
as an attack was anticipated from the Costa Rc ans
and it desr able TO ascer ain the number of Amer
leans in the place Many in the spirit of friendship
complied A few days afterward one of these men
asked Col. Wheeler for passport. Col. Wheeler in
qured, Did not see you parade the other evening
under the Nicarsguan flag On being answered az
Tentatively, and the circumstance explained, Col.
Wheeler said, Then you have forfeited all claim TO
American citizenship.
From the time Gen. Walker took the government
into biz bands, and after the tresty with the Estrada
Government, he commenced levy ing heavy contribu
tionr upon the Chamorsta party in direct violation Of
the treaty, which said that the Democratic party Of
the country should all the former liabilities
ard carry the Government 10 future Instead Of
cary NJ out the provisions Of the treaty he instituted
system Of pllage of the inhabitants. He has inspired
such feelings of ditrust among the people that agri-
cultural and other pursuits will be neglected the
present season, cultvators have little disposition to
rase crops with the prospect Of having them taken
away by force A deadly hostility has sprung up be-
tween the natives and Americans that did not exist at
all prior to the advent of Walker.
cannot believe that any honest person who can get
living in civilized community would think OF gong
there if they knew the facts Of the case. And my
only for making these statements IL, that people
here may not be imposed upon 1t is from no desire
to retard the spread Of American Institutions but
think they are retarded by Walkers course. Our
Government ought to be made aware of the state of
sairs, and corrupt as officers in some respects are,
do not think that, had they full information on this
subject, they would desist from steps Of remedy.
