time and effected speedy settlement OF the diff

Csnas, who was negotiating with President Mar
6nez, and who was clothed with full powers by
Costa Rica at once agreed TO withdraw all preten

the control of the San Juan River. He likewise |
agreed that the Department of Guanacaste should |
remain nomnally belonging to Nicaragua, though |
occupied by the Government Of Costa Rca. Ihs |

have been for many years past. These matters /

An American butcher of our town, who was ac- |

dozen head Of the cattle brought from Castillo by
him, and paid over the cash before they were |
landed. immediately they were put on shore they
were all claimed by their rightiul owners proving
most conclusiyey that Anderson had not only |
rfoen the cattle. but that he had actually sold and
received payment for stolen property The butch

piled 10 Anderson to refund the money; but the

The most important news have TO communicate
by this mail is the capture, by Capt. Sands OF the
United States steam-figate Susquohanna, Of the bal

Capt. Sands, in the capture of this force went TO
st further extreme than did Com. Paulding in land
sng On Punta Arenas. He ascended the River San
Juan into tie interior off foreign nation.

Official sOrrce. Nicaragua and Costa RIGA, in view OF
their common danger, it is presumed, came 60 an I'M
asrstandng their differences, and sent 400 men TO
San Carlos at the entrance TO the Lake and 100 to
Castillo. Anderson, finding himself closely pressed,
and likely 10 be more so, his stores being short pre-
pared the steamer Ogden, embarked his men on her,
and then wrote TO Capt Sands asking his views in
gard 10 his surrender. Capt. Sands replied that no
ready to receive him and his men, ii they came
and delivered up their arms
Subsequently, Anderson spiked his cannon burned
al the buildings about Castillo, destroyed the ma
ohnery Of steamer at the Rapids, understood TO DO
The Virgin and having killed all the cattle and plum
dersd al the merchandise within reach, started down
tne river Captain Sands came upon them under
these circumstances, nine miles up the river in the
steamer Charles Morgan, full of armed men, and cap
tred them, without any resistance Of course. The
Ogden was placed in charge of Mr. Cottrell United
States Consul at Greytown, who has also charge of
the Charles Morgan uuti the rghtful ownership in
