AMERICA Is INVOLVED
TROUBLE IN NICARAGUA MAY
CAUSE A BIG ROW.
British Troops Are Landed in the
Interest of n Mosquito Chief and
the United States May BE Called
Upon to Interfere.

Washington, March 3. - The British
warship Cleopatra has landed troops ut
Bluefields, Nicaragua, and interfered in
the dispute between Nicaragua and the
rcigning Mosquito chief. The news is
regarded with keen interest in Washing
ton, although SO fur this government has
taken no step beyond keeping informed of
the progress of events through reports
from MIR. Braida, the United States
consul at San Juan Del Nortc. The
POINT involved in the present dispute is
not new, but because of the f,ct that
Bluctelds, only sixty miles distant from
GreytOwn, the eastern terminus of the
Niclrt guam canal. occupies u location of
great strategic Importance toward that
project, it inuy be that the United States
will become involved in the dispute in
the future. Certainly this is likely to bc
the casc If the British go beyond the
point of asserting n prOtectoratc and seek
to secure possession Of the place. The
latest Official news received here from the
United States consul at San Juan Del
Norte is of the date of Feb. q and 10.
He reports that 2OO Nicaraguan soldiers

Ncltc, Mr.. Bigham and brought his as
sistancc in recovering his rights. The
United States con. ul says it is believed
that the Nicarag ian government does not
intend to incorporate the Mosquito coun-
II! by force, but that an assembly of all
the Indian chiefs will be called to choose
new council and municipal authorities
When the British government relin-
uuislled to Nicaragua AMI Honduras her
mo,cctuiatc over the Mosquito country
10y the treaty of 1860, it was with Il
condition thut the Mosquito Indians
should be permitted to maintain their
own government. Under color of this
article the British in times past have
interviewed between the Indians and
Nicaragua. But the United States gov
rrnlncnt has always insisted that tho
british had absolutely lost all claims t.,
II Irotectoratc and that Nicaragua held
absolute sovereignty over the Mosquito
{, country. In recent years the native
Mosquito population ut Bluciiclls has
practically disappeared. ind the town has
fallen into the hands of Jamaica negroes
and other British subjects who have ,li-
rclal the government and established
British forms of law. The Ni,nrag,,an

jacksonville; Fla, Ms rch 2.-At 2:51

Pgainst James ]. Corbett, charged with
violating the laws of Florida by engaging
In prize fight, retired to make up .
verdict. At 3O7, or sixteen minutes later,
:he jury returned anl the foreman hand
cd the verdict to the the states attorney,
wi ho read:
guilty."
A broad smile spread over Corbrtt's .
face as he heard these reass,lriny words
and the sports who crowded the court
room would have cheered had they not
beer informed by Judge Philips when
the jury came in that he would send any
person to Jail for contempt who dared cx-
Eress audible approval or disapproval Of
tie verdict. Charley Mitcchll was pres
cit when the verdict was announced,
and hc leaned over and graspci Corbctt
by the han,l and whispered consratuia-
tions. Mitchell, Of course, considered the
verdict in the light of practical ac-
quittal for himself, as case against
him of similar nature is pending.
The impression here is that the whole
thing has been n farce. The witnesses
for the state, to use n sporting phrase,
''Gell down." and the defense had the
easiest sort of walk-oyer. When At
torney General Iamar was asked for al,
opinion on the result of the casc,. he
said: ut would not be good faith for
me to criticise the verdict
will you push the other cases, now?''
Il cannot say, yet" replied the at
torncy general. Il have wired the gov
crnor for Instructions, and the states
course in regard to the other cases de-
pellts on the governors advice"
Corbett left fer New Orleans with the
After Dark" company. Mitchell is still
here and will remain until the ease
against him is either tried or not proved.
The sports feel jubilant over the out
come, and members Of the Duval club say
they propose to pull off the Cori,ett-
Jackson mill here. They say that thu
courts and people are with them, and that
they Gun have prize fight every morlill.,
before breakfast and another one to give
them an appetite for supper if they $,
