The Grand Old Man Ill.

WASHINGTON, March THE Depart
ment of State has received the first official
information Of the operations of the Brit
ish naval forces at Bluefields, near the
mouth of the Nicaragua canal. 1t came In
the shape OF a dispatch from United States
Minister Baker at Managua. He says that
the United States consul at San Juan Del
Norte, Mr.. Braida, telegraphs him that SOL
diers from the British war ship Cleopatra
have been landed at Bluefelds, and strong
ly urges that United States naval vessel
be sent there at once. There Is no ex-
PLANTATION In the minister's dispatch OF the
reason for the landing of the British forces.
The preceding reports Of Consul Braida
show that when the Nicaraguan govern
ment forces occupied Bluefields the reign
ing Mosquito chief appealed TO the British
consul at San Juan Del Norte for protec-
ton, and the question of interest at this
stage of affairs Is whether the British
troops have been landed to afford that pro-
lection to the Mosquitoes, or whether the
landing was made to protect British citi-
Zens only.
The resolution of inquiry concerning the
British at Bluehelds, which was introduced
in the Senate by Mr. Morgan to-day, was
the result of the discussion of the subject
by the Senate foreign relations committee
at its meeting this morning. There is an
apprehension in the minds of Senators that
the English government Is making an eff
fort to obtain footing on the eastern
coast of the isthmus, in violation Of the
Clayton Butler treaty, and the action OF
the committee Is directed towards securing
whatever information the State Department
may have upon the subject Senator Nor
gan IS especially jealous of any movement
on the part of a. foreign government which
might affect the Nicaraguan canal. and
probably nothing could happen to give him
greater concern than for England to Sc
cure foothold in that region. Senator
Morgan said in reply to a question as 70
the purpose OF the resolution, that he had
no Information upon the subject except
such as he had obtained from the news
papers in which he had seen a statement
that the British were at Bluefields for the
purpose of interfering with the sovereignty
of Nicaragua over the Mosquito coast.
do you suppose" was asked, that the
fact that the Kearsarge was headed in
that direction had any signihcance?'
What was she going there for? was his
response. "Of course" he added. II don't
know that such was the case but II looks
like It,"
So far. the Department OF State has made
no request upon the Navy Department to
send a man-of-war TO Bluefields.
