New Orleans. La, Sept 3.-The Times
Democrat has the following news from
Blpefeids BY the steamer John Wilson;
a definite confirmation Of the seizure by
the Nicaraguan government of the Blue
fields Banana Company's steamer Mas
cote for alleged completely in the recent
Mosquito instruction was brought by
the steamer.
The Mascotte was seized by the Mica
raguaEs while Manager J. Wiensberger
CT the Rluetelds Banana Company was
up the Escondido river loading the
Wilson with bananas for this port.
The seizure was made at the instance
of Senior Cabezezas, the Nicaraguan
governor of the Mosquito territory, and
it is denounced by foreign residents as
altogether unwarranted. It's service to
the Bluefelds Banana Company are al
most indispensable, and its seizure will
greatly impede the commerce of America
and Nicaragua.
The Mascotte is an American steamer
and has always carried the American
flag
Its owners aver that it was pressed
into service when the Mosquito chief.ain,
/ Clarence, took possession of the Mosquito
coast and without their consent, there
fore they do not think they should be
held blamable.
The gentleman who gives this informa-
ton to the Times-Democrat of the seizure
of the Maseotte says that Cabezas is
running things al Bluedelds with a high
| hand. The town is practically under
/ martial law Foreign residents who are
/ charged with completely in the uprising
of the Indians under Clarence are being
! arrested indiscriminatelY.
1t is alleged that if native bears a
! grudge against foreigner he simply has
! TO tell Cabezas that the object of his ha-
/ tired is bad man, and assisted the In
dams in the recent expulsion of the Mica
raguan soldiers, and the foreigner is i'm
mediately arrested, whether there is any
proof 10 back up the assertions of mis- ac-
cusers or not. AS a result the commerce
of foreign nations is greatly impeded and
the foreign residents are flying the coun-
try in alarm
Twelve men, supposed to be among the
English residents, were arrested and sent
to Managua, the capital of the Nicara-
guam republic. previous to the sailing of
the John Wilson, and tits alleged that one
of them was Mr.. Ingraham, an attache
of the English diplomatic service. II is
charged that Mr. Ingraham abetted the
Indian uprising and thereby incurred the
enmity of the Nicaraguans.
The Times-Democrat informant states
further that these outrages are perpe-
trated under the very guns of two Amer
lean and one English men-of-war. He
asserts however, that Capt Stuart of
her majestys navy is looking after En-
glish interests better than Capt O'Neill,
and his ship is protecting American resi-,
dents.
Just before the John Wilson sailed six
Americans and Englishmen were exiled
by order of Cabezas. They were sent
away from Bluefields in small freight
schooner engaged in local coast traffic
and up to the time of the departure OF the
John Wilson it had not been learned
whether they had been safely landed or
not. Their passage was paid by Cabeza:
out of the Golfers of the Nicaraguan treas
ury.
