CRY FROM B%LUEFIELDS
American Citizens Robbed by the
Government of Nicaragua.
Complaint that Uncle Sam Is Not Pro-
tecting His Peoples Interest--Gen-
eral Foreign News.

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-Latest advices
from Bluefelds report that in answer to
the demand of British Minister Goslin, Mic
aragua has Cancelled her withdrawal of
British Consul Bingham's exequatur. Bing-
ham refused to receive the exequatur I'M
less accompanied by ample apology on the
part of Nicaragua, and TO come to him
through the hands of Minister Goslin. In
reply Consul Bingham has been called to
Managua, the capital, and all boats on the
San Juan river and the lakes are held at
his disposal. Minister Baker and Captain
Watson have both fully approved of the
action and course followed by Consul Brai-
da. The murderer OF Wilson, the American
killed, has not yet been tried. He was at
large until Captain Watson requested he
be arrested and tried.
The Nicaraguans have taken charge of
leased lands at Bluefields bluff, belonging
to Americans, and say that all leases for
over eight years will be Cancelled as ille-
gal, though Improvements amounting to
over s1,00O,0OO have been placed thereon by
Americans, and Nicaragua, through her
previous commissioner to the Mosquito res
ervation. Gen. Isadore Urtcoho, forced the
Mosquito government to issue a lease for
fifty years for eighty-four acres of said

guans: '.Your government will do nothing
for you; we know that" and, acting on
that assumption, have insulted Consul
Braida, American citizens and the govern
ment OF the United States. Had the govern
ment at Washington acted as promptly as
England has done the proper respect would
be shown to American interests. American
citizens and the country's flag abroad. The
action of Nicaragua in canceling the with
drawal of Consul Bingham'S exequatur and
his being called to Managua suggests that
England, in not enforcing her treaty rights,
is obtaining something better from Nicara-
qua, and, as usual, England, by her vigor-
Gus policy, is getting ahead of the United
States Lacayo has given official employ
ment to several renegade Americans, and
uses the fact of their presence in his camp
as an argument that the Americans are
with him.
The American population at Bluefields and
vicinity Is composed of sturdy classes that
invested 10000 under the treaty rights
and would enforce. Over $4,000 is invested
by Boston capital alone, which largely con-
trolls the mahogany trade. The troubles
have naturally affected and the
business of Bluefields has fallen off fully
% to 80 per cent.
Minister Baker, after his arrival at Blue
fields, called upon the Mosquito officials
fairs before the invasion. He also called
a conference OF American merchants for
the day after the vessel left. From Min
lister Bakers action. the Americans derive
a great deal of hope as TO the tenor OF his
report to Washington.

reached here from Mengo. Uganda, to the
effect that the punitive expedition. under
the command of Colonel ColviIle, sent
against Kabarega, King of Unyoro. has
completely defeated the Kings forces. In
November last Kabarega attacked a chief
at Toru. who was a British ally. The chief
applied 10 the British for aid. and a force
Of two hundred Nublan soldiers, COM
manded by Major Owen. was sent TO his
assistance. This force met the force OF
Kabarega, and after a fight that lasted
three hours the latter fled. leaving at least
fifty dead on the field. War was then de-
clared on Kabarega and a force Of seven
hundred Nubians and 10000 Wayanda ma
tives was sent against him Five thousand
OF the latter carried firearms. This force
was too strong for Kabarega, and, though
he gave battle. he was routed. The expedi-

Kabarega's headquarters was situated. TO

of the expedition Will prove a death blow

audience was made up chiefly of detectives.
The speakers indulged In the usual TRADE

were listened to with good-natured toler-

his predecessor, began TO speak on the
eight-hour question. He declared that an
eight-hour day must be obtained. even If

Another rush was made for the platform.
The speaker sprang from the rear of the
