ALL QUIET At BLUEFIELDS.
IMPORTANT DISPATCHES FROM CAPT
WATSON AID MINISTER BAKER.
THE ESCAPE OF ARGUELLAs,
The Acting Governor OF Rama,
Whom the Nicarasuen Govern
ment Promised to Hold for the
Murder Of the American, Will
son-Movcments Of Clarence,
the Late Mosquito Chief.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-Acting Secre-
tary McAddo has received letter from
Capt. Watson, commanding the United
States steamer San Francisco, dated at
Bluetields. May 10. The captain sends
an account of the various interviews he
has had with the Nicaraguan authori-
ties, and announces the departure for
Managua of MadriZ. the Nicaraguan
foreign secretary, and of Torres, ap-
pointed governor of Rama to succeed
Arguellas, the murderer of the Amer
lean Wilson. Torres was required to
report at the capitol to answer charge
that he had sheltered the murderer in
stead OF bringing him to Justice. A brief
postscript to the letter announces the
escape of Arguellas. and expresses the
opinion that he would not be recap
tured.
Capt. Watson reports matters quiet at
Bluefields. He took United States Con-
sui Braida aboard Oil the 10th, and
sailed away for the latter's post. Grey
town.,
The British cruiser Magicienne was
at BluefeldS, and the commander prom
ised Capt Watson that he would watch
over the town until he returned.
The New York, which is now undoubt-
edly at Bluefields, had not arrived at
the date of the letter. AS matters are
now quiet there, 1t is believed the big
cruiser will be ordered home, where she
will be docked and put in good repair,
and perhaps take some of the naval
militiamen out for their summer cruises.
A report by mail also reached the state
department from
UNITED STATES MINISTER BAKER
today. This dispatch brings the story
of events down to the 11th inst. He
confirms Capt. Watson's story of the
escape of Arguellas, the acting governor
of Rama. and states that despite the
positive assurances of the Nicaraguan
commissioner. Lacayo, that Arguel-
las was in Jail at Bluefelds
and would be brought to trial, it was
shown that the accused was at liberty
during most OF the day of May 9, and
finally disappeared that evening. Mr..
Baker throws a new light upon the
movements of Clarence, the MOSQUITO
chief. 1t was stated by the United
Press that Clarence had been restored
to power as the governing chief over
Blueferds and the Mosquito country by
Capt. Clark, the commander of the
British warship Magicienne. MIR.
Bakers dispatch contradicts this report,
for he says that while Clarence returned
to Bluefields on the 1st inst, on the
British vessel'an placed himself under
Commissioner Lacayo's guarantee of
personal safety" 1t does not appear
that Clarence had been reinstated i'm his
political position, either by British or
any other influence, up to the date OF
the minister's dispatch. Mr.. Baker
concludes by stating that the Nieara-
guam soldiers had quit Bluefields. part
going to the interior. and detachment
remaining at the bluff.
