MAY LOSE LEASES OF LANDS.

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-Latest adViees
from Bluefelds report the answer TO the
demands of the British Minister, Mr.. Gosl-
ing, that Nicaragua cancelled her with
drawal of Counsel Bingham's exequatur.
Bingham refused 10 receive the exc
Quatur unless accompanied by ample
apology on the part of the Nicaragua Gov
ernment and to come through the hands of
Minister Gosing.
In reply Consul Bingham has been
called to Managua. the capital, and all the
boats on the San Juan River and the lakes
are had at his disposal
Minister Baker and Captain Watson
have both fully approved the action and
course followed by Consul Braida. The
murderer of Wilson, the American killed,
has not yet been captured and has roamed
at large until Captain Wilson requested be
be arrested and tried.
The Ncaraguans have taken charge of
leased lands at BuefeIds Bluff, belonging
10 Americans, and say all leases for over
eight years will be cancelled as illegal, al
though improvements amounting TO over
S50,000,0 600 have been put here by Ameri-
cans. through her previous Commissioner
to the Mosquito Reservation. General
Isador Urtrehos forced the Mosquito Gov
ernment to issue lease for fifty years for
eighty-four acres of The bluff lands in 1886
and 1887.
The Americans have been frequently
told by the Nicaraguans: Your Govern
ment will do nothing for you; we know
that" and. relying on that assum ptiOn.
they have insulted Consul Braida. Ameri-
can citizens and Government of the United
States. Had the Government at Washing
ton acted as promptly as England did, the
proper respect would be shown to Ameri-
can interests, American citizens and the
cOuntry's flag abroad.
The action of Nicaragua in cancelling
Consul Biugham's exeauatur, and his being
called 10 Managua, smells strongly that
England is enforcing her treaty right, is
obtaining something better from Nicara-
qua, and as usual England, by her vigorous
policy, is getting ahead of the United
States.
La Cayo has gived official employment
to several renegade Americans. and uses
the fact of their presence in his cabinet as
an argument that Americans are with him.
The American population at Bluefelds
and vicinity is composed of some sturdy
classes that built up the west and invested
S3,00O000 under treaty rights which they
expected the United States would enforce.
Over S5OO0O0 is invested by Boston capt.
talists alone. which largely controls the
mahogany trade. The trouble has naturally
affected commerce. and the business of
Bluefelds has fallen off from 20 to so per
cent
Minister Baker, after his arrival al Blue
fields, called on the Mosquito officials for
statement as to the condition of affairs be-
fore the invasion.
He alsU called conference of American
merchants for the day after the vessel left.
From Minister Bakers action the Ameri-
cans derive great hope as to the tenor Of
his report to Washington.

THE IDEAL CITIZEN.
Rev. A. c. Hirst on Sacred Rights
Which Should Be Guarded.


At the Simpson Memorial church last even-
ing the pastor. Rev. A. c. Hirst, preached upon
the subject, "Tbe Question that Tests Men," 10
a large and attentive audience. The reverend
gentleman took his text from Exodus. xXxii:26,
"WbO is on the Lor0's Side," etc. The applica.
tion OF this text the speaker thought, was very
pertinent TO the present social condition Of the
country.
1t was time, he said. for the American people
to pause aud consider the Importance of know
ing who really is on the side of the Lord. Lib

growth OF socialism. the policy of which was
that If one wanted ANYTHING he might take IL.
The real trouble with Americans was. he
thought, not lack of patriotism. but ten
dency TO value their citiZ DShi2 too lightly.
They did not appear to feel that citizenship is
a universal trust, and that its right should be
sacredly guarded. The ideal citizen should
lake an active interest in all matters OF public
Industry, public education. and, III fact, In
everything that affec he common welfare.
He did not believe that The principles OF intel
ligent citizenship were dead. but they should
not be allowed TO slnmber. To be good cil-
zen one must be on the Lords side; he must
have lofty puI pose in all his acts. and TO have
that be must have sublime faith in God.
AS examples of ideal citizens with lofty
purposes Mr.. Hlrst mentioned Cinciunatus,
Regulus. Garibaldi, Gladstone and several
others, who. he said, stood in the foremost
ranks of right against wrong. He also cited
the moral courage of Martin Luther in making.

he could b. suIe that he was on the Lords
