New ORLEANS. April 16.-The steamer
George Seeley arrived today from Blue
fields, Nicaragua. bringing news to Apri
18th. The Picayunes correspondent
writes:
On the evening Of the 9th inst. a small
schooner arrived from Greytown, bring
ing mail advices and several Nicaraguar
officials. Among these, to the surprise
OF even Lacayo, was the Wilson muir
derer. As soon as 1t became known that
this man was in town the citizens began
to congregate in groups, where one could
with the click Of pistol hear: "Yes, the
murderer is here"
As the Nicaraguans suspected that
the peculiar movements OF the Ameri-
cans meant something, the assassin
Arguello was quickly placed under ar
rest and has since been confined in the
provisional tombs. IL would seem that
Arguello escaped from Rama to the in
terror, where he was safe beyond q
doubt. His advent here, in connection
with other matters transpiring, Is part
of play being made by Lacayo; there
fore, unless the commander OF the
United States steamship San Francisco,
provided he gets here. makes q demand
for his execution the assassin will escape
punishment.
In the mail brought by the came
schooner came a telegram from United
States Minister Baker, dated April lat,
to United States Consul Braid, inform
ing him that the government of Nicara-
qua had revoked his exequatur and his
official papers. The invaders and in
triguers were jubilant over this addi-
tionRl insult to the flag of the United
States, and openly bdasted that Lacayo
had downed Braid and that the Ameri-
cans must submit to the laws OF Nicara-
qua, and that Charles A. Lacayo will
never permit Roberr Henry Clarence,
chief of the Moso to resume con-
troll of the municipal and national affairs
OF Bluefelds and the Mosquito reserva-
tion.
1t is rumored that the exequatur OF
United States Consul Bingham has also
been revoked. Owing to the consuPs
action while here IL ie not believed the
Nicaraguan officials would ever object
to Mr.. Bingham, and up to this moment
the rumor lacks confirmation.
II. M. S. Magicinne is still here. hav-
ing relieved H. M. s. Csnsdie on the
Sd inst. Capt. A. O. Clark. her com
mander, came ashore this morning, and
among other things, while speaking of
tie actions OF the Nicaraguan officials,
said: "Gent!emen, il you could wish to
know what Lscayo and his henchmen
are likely to do tomorrow. you just
think of the most idiotic oficialisms pos
sible and that will be about what they
will perform"
Therefore while the town is quiet this
evening we do not know what the NOR
row may produce, and necessarily we
are constantly under arms, ready to
prove that we are Americans.

tanned by bringing in large number ol
light folding chairs and placing them in

desk was a massive floral piece, repre-
senting tall column, composed OF dark

around it was O wreath OF La France

but were not molested. One OF them
tried to look around until the robber
threatened to blow his head off; then
he attended to business. The other
passengers were all frightened. fearing
his foolishness would get them into
trouble. The robber worked very ooolly,
and seemed to be we'll acquainted with
the names OF parties and locations. as
he told Fred Wasson, the driver, to tell
the agent at Milton that he had taken
the silver and to have the box fixed at
his expense. Just as the stage WAS
leaving he said: Fred, will see you
in Angels in a day or so, and we will
take drink on this" The officers

man in this robbery, and that the man
who did the work, from the description,
is presumed to be one of the men who
were in the hold.up OF March 7th.

time were ordered to stop and turn their
backs upon the scene. They overheard
the robber tell the driver that he would
count what he had got when be had
