ALL QUIET IN BLUEFIELDS.
Waiting a Settlement Of Affairs by
Outside Powers.

Capt. Brown of the Steamer Elliott
Which Arrived Yesterday Tells of
the Landing of the Nicaruaguan
Troops at the BluH-some Anxiety
on Account of the Presence OF the
Troops - The British Man-of- " ar
Masicienne at Bluehelds-The Gov
ernor Of Rama at Ills Old Stand.
The British steamship Elliot, Capt. A.
Brown, from Bluefelds, with 10000
punches Of bananas consigned to this
port, arrived yesterday.
The Elliot left Bluehelds last Sunday
at o'clock in the morning and reached
Tybee yesterday at o'clock, making the
trip in Just a few hours over six days.
This is one of the quickest trips that has
been made from that point to Savannah.
The Elliot arrived at Bluefelds las
Wednesday, and found everything quiet
in the Mosquito Reservation, at least as
quiet as things could be under the unset
tied state of affairs.
Capt. Brown said he went up TO Rama
for day while he was there, and found
that everything had resumed its usual
quietude, and that the governor of that
place, who murdered the American,
Wilson, was doing business at the same
old stand without any interference on the
part of the people there.
THE MAGICIENNE AT BLUEFIELDs.
The only war vessel there when he left
was the English man-Of-war Magicienne,
which was anchored some miles of Blue
fields. None of the troops from the YES
Sc. had been landed, and no fears were
expressed on account of their presence
there. In fact the Englishmen seemed TO
be taking no part in the affairs Of the res
ervation The San Francisco, the Ameri-
can war vessel, Capt. Brown said had
been there for some time before he ar
rived, but went away to Colon for some
purpose before he reached Bluefields.
Otherwise Capt Brown said there was
nothing in the situation that was note
worthy.
The only thing he said which has
created any anxiety on the part of the
people in the reservation is the landing of
the Nicaraguan soldiers at the Blue
fields bluffs, about seven miles from the
town.
THE EICARAGUAN TROOPS.
These troops were landed at the bluff,
and were not allowed to come up TO the
city. They began arriving the day the
Elliot reached Bluefelds, which was
Wednesday, April is, and some of them
came Saturday night following. In all
JOS soldiers were landed at the bluff.
The landing of these troops produced
considerable annoyance among the inhab-
itants Of the reservation, as they didn't
know why the troops should be brought
there, or what they would be called upon
TO do. Otherwise the situation seems
very quiet, and the people in the reserva-
ton are simply awaiting the outcome of
the situation. AS Capt. Brown expresses
it, they are waiting to see what the
American people are going to do. Evi-
IDENTIFY there is feeling that the treaty
has been violated, and the United States
is looked TO to set matters Alright.
Capt Brown says with these exceptions
there is nothing interesting in the situa-
ton. The people are having little trouble
with the provisional government and are
only considerably Inconvenience by the
unsettled state of affairs. The Elliot
will leave for Bluefields again Monday,
ynd il is probable that she will make sew
eral more trips between Savannah and
Bluehelds. Her passage up this time was
remarkably quick one, but the trip was
uneventful, there being nothing of interest
noted along the way.
