The Britain Protectorate Established I'm Gem
trail America-yyhat Congress should ut
Once DO.
The return Of the steamship Washington from
her attempt to reopen the Nicaragua Transit
route, and the details Of that enterprise, as fully
given in another column, fully confirm the views
we have taken Of the gathering difficulties that
await us on the American Isthmus and in the
American Mediterranean. Two points in the
great conflict before US are now demonstrated
These are: First, that an English protectorate
has been established over the Nicaragua Isthmus;
and second, that under that protcctorate the
government of Nicaragua has peremptorily re-
fused TO permit the route to be opened for the
transit of the passengers conveyed by the Aneri-
can company now holding the privilege.
There il no getting over the evidence Of the
existence of the British protectorate. On this
occasion there il no excuse that there was an
absence of American power 10 enforce a respect
for the laws upon the American citizens in tran
Sit Not only we're the American ships Roam
yke. Savannah. and jamestown in the por.
Of san Juan del Norte. but board of the
first named ship was Commodore Mcintosh, the
commander Of our Home Squadron Yet. without
consultation Of any kind, the British officers, in
a neutral port, board AN American steamship,
put number Of offcious and really impertinent
questions TO her officers and whoa one Of them
replies that the information desired could he oh.
tanned from the American menofwar In port,
the British officer coolly answers that his instruc-
tons are to get bis information direct Neither
can II lie argued that this was the act OF some
subordinate and ignorant officer. Sir VIM. Gore
0useley. the British Minister to Nicaragua, and
Commodore Kellet the second in command of
the British West India feet were present in the
port. 1t Is to us a matter Of deep regret that
Captain Churchill and his subordinates did not
reply to the first and all the succeeding questions
ol the British officers, that II was none Of their
business No British naval officer, either Ia a
neutral port or in a British port, has any business
whatever on the deck Of al American ship, aud
when one comes there he docs 81 by courtesy.
But the evidence Of The existence Of British
protectoratc in Nicaragua IL still more conclu
siye. The steamer Leopard put to sea announc.
ing that che was bound TO Jamaica. When the
river steamer Catharine Maria, finding she could
no; get up the main channel Of the San Juan
river went round TO go up the Colorado branch
