Lockridge his return to the United States and
! that there no hope of reinforcements reaching
Walker he FASTENED with several of his officers, to
Rivas determined by kind offices to arrest all further
| hostihties if possible. He first visited Gen. Mora,
and having come to understanding with him, hs
next sought Walker and laid before that officer his
plans; doing every thing he could to induce him 70
surrender the schooner Granada, and 60 on board the
ST. Mays But these propositions We're rejected until
he informed Walker that he should seize the Gransda
if it were not wen up. --.- Flu.

schooner is, that she had legal papers, carried
flag, and belonged to nc recognised government. Tn.

way through the enemy lines, and subsisted his army

to reach the Granada would prove fatal before he could
get five miles from Rivas. Believing these things to
be facts Capt Davis says he felt fully justified und
the instructions he held from the navy department.
which directed him, should Walker be expelled By the
allied forces from his position at Riyas, and should
they attempt aggressive movements on any other par
of Central America, to proceed at to Rvas, and
induce him to leave the country.
