Walker has sent another ambassador to Costa

When Kinney appeared with the olive branch
of peace, and his propositions of cooperation with
Walker, that Chief evidently had no disposition to
permithim to remain. The ascendant star of
flibusterism could not permit another to shine in
his sphere Kinney's schemes has looked too much
to government to allow him TO be content to be
governed So Walker, with much sagacity, deter.
mined to Danish him from "all the Nicaraguas"
The scene Of their interview is exceedingly en-.
tertaning. We give it detailed in letter from
San Juan -s--. s.. -...-.,- .z-r
About ten o'clock on Monday morning, as Gen
Walker was sitting at his table overlooking des-
patch from a neighboriug State, Colonel Kinney
entered the room, and advancing towards the
Comm manderin. Chief, introduced himself. He was
invited to take seat, which be did; and as Gene
raj Walker talks but little, and never, during busi
ness hours, on rrevaant matters, the visitor was
constrained to open conversation, which we give |
in substance 80
Col Kinney-The difficulties under which we |
labor in forming peaceable government for Nj. |
caragus, may be consumma;ed by dividing the |
country and creating two States, one of which |
shall be called Mosquitia.
Gen. Walker-If Nicaragua chooses to divide her |
territory she will do so without advi,ng with any
one and last of all with MIR. Kinney.
The visitor felt dseoncerted but he was not dis.
couraged, as the result will show:
Col Kinney have come to offer my services |
10 the Republic, and feel confident my financial |
ability will be of great benefit in the procurement
of money, the negotiation of loans and forth.

Gen. Walker-Your anteeedents preclude the |
possibility OF the States placing you in any Off
cial position. a. |
Colonel Kinney dismayed, and the interview |
ended, with the impressive caution from General
Walker to his visitor that he should be particular
in his speech or he might be guilty of uttering |
reasonable language. /
Another interview was had in the afternoon but |
ii was curt and ended in nothing. I!
But short space elapsed after the first inter |

leave the limits Of the city-he was prisoner to |
the State /
One account says that at first Walker ordered |
Kinney to be shot; but at the intercession of
friends, changed his mind and banished him. The
interview was, on the part of Walker, one of the
most extraordinary specimens of coolness we re-
member to have read of-especially when, with
such 'antecedents" as his own he alludes to Kin.
ney's "Gnteccdents!" Poor Kinney He set on
foot the Nicaraguan expedtion-the United States
government gave him great deal of trouble and
delay. He at last got off and was wrecked In
the mean time Walker got head Of him and is
fairly installed in power. Kinney is then brought
to the low estate of sueing for something to do at
the hands Of his successful rival and he is iouted
with the most cruel a.lusion to his "antecedents"
