Property of Americans mt BlaeRcld
Seized by the Dfctators.


Seized by the Dictators.
The Associated Press correspondent at
Bluefieids. under date of August 81, sends
the following:
Madriz, special commissioner. has issued
q decree setting aside the order for martial
law In the cities and villages Of the Atlantic
coast, to take effect on the day of the in
stallation of the municipal governments. IL
also orders that on the 18th of September
elections shall be held in Bluefelds, Pearl
Lagoon and Corn Island for the formation
Of the respective municipalities, which shall
ex ercise authority until the date fixed by
the municipal Law for the regular annual
election. This municipal government. when
established. will collect all taxes and H.
censes Of Bluefieids. while the Port charges
Will be collected for the supreme govern
rnent Of Nicaragua. Bluefelds will be made
the port of entry of the territory and du-
Ties on goods will be paid IN Blue:felds only
II Is now probably the only port of entry,
Tor ths water is SO shallow on all the coast
bars that no vessel can cross them.
For the past twenty. four hours Gen Gaze
xa3 and Minister Madriz have allowed the
residents to exist in peace. Every one is
waiting anxiously for the return OF the CO.
iumbia and Mohawk from Port Limon
where they are waiting the arrival Of deiin-
mite instructions from their respective coun-
tries.
A few days ago the two dictators. Cazezas
and Madriz. committed another outrage
upon Americans. The launch which steam
ed out TO the bluff on the evening of July g.
with several Mosquito and Jamaican ne
groes, was seized and brought to anchor be-
lore the Nicaraguan government building
This boat is the property of the Bluefelds
Banana Company. and on the evening of
July was seized against the orders of its
owners and made use of by the Mosquitoes
Minister Madriz has given orders to confis-
cate the boat, she played a part against
the wishes of its owners in the murder of
Nicaraguans
Under the new arrangements proposed by
Nicaragua unless a man is a property
holder or has the sum of 800 soils he will
not De allowed to vote. Thus the govern
ment Of Bluefelds and the entire territory
will be controlled by a very few, and IL is
safe TO say that the majority of these few
voters will be Spaniards.

WILL BOLT THE DEMOCRACY,
Louisiana Sugar Planters Decide t.
AFFILIATE With the Rcpu blfcuns

The sugar planters convention In New
Orleans yesterday was the most remark
able gathering In many years, and the first
serious break In the democratic party in
twenty years is now actually threatened
The convention declared in favor Of an al
lance with the republican party on national
issues, and two, and possibly three, con-
gressional districts, comprising the sugar
region, are endangered to the democrats.
There were about three hundred repre-
sentative men present at the convention
and nearly all Of them are men of wealth.
with large influence, and with power to
control considerable following. The &C
ton they have taken cannot be underesti-
mated.
The meeting was called to order by Rich
ard Mccall. and Mr.. E. N. Pugh of Assem-
sion was made chairman. John Dymond
was the only speaker who strenuously op-
posed secession from the democratic party,
Messrs. Mccall Pugh, Kernochan. Esti-
pinal, Ware and others advised an alliance
with the republican party. They said that
they had been betrayed by the democrats,
and that the only hope of protection for SUI
gar lay In a joining of hands with the re-
bublicans. They realized the full import of
breaking with the democratic party but,
feeling that the negro question was no
longer an issue, and that the white race
would forever govern the southern country,
they said they had reached the conclusion
that self-preservation required an affiliation
with a party that would give them the pro-
lection necessary for the prosperity of the
industry which Is the backbone of the state
The committee on resolutions reported
elaborate resolutions, setting forth that the
white people of Louisiana and planters for
many years had been loyal to the demo-
cratic party through victory and defeat,
but that the state had been betrayed and a
blow struck at its chief industry by that
party that threatened its absolute ruin,
I'D that the nomination of protection can

The resolutions were adopted by rising
vote. 1t was decided to meet again on the
nth Of September in New Orleans, when
the plans Of the sugar planters will be per-
fected. 1t was also decided to nominate a
candidate In the three sugar districts, and
to affiliate with the republicans.
