ALL QUIET At BLUEFIELDS.
The NiCaTaguan Commissioner Con-
trolls the Situation.


ional Government He Has Formed.
The Agreement Between the Mica
raguan Commissioner Madriz and
the British Consul-The Decree of the
Commissioner.
The British steamer Elliot, from Blue
fields. arrived yesterday with a cargo of
10000 punches of bananas, consigned to
Kavanaugh & Brennan.
The Elliot arrived at Bluefelds March
81, the day after the public meeting
which requested Clarence, the Mosquito
chief, to assume charge of the govern
ment of the reservation, and pledged him
their support.
The Elliot was unable to load her cargo
on arrival on account of the blockade be-
tween Bluehelds and Rama, which is
some distance up th%river, which was es-
tablished just after the killing of Wilson
by the governor of Rama.
Capt. Brown says the greatest excite
ment prevailed among the people near
Bluetelds at that time, and it was i'm
possible TO get any of the hands to 90 up
the river to get the bananas This ex-
citement was somewhat allayed about
March 81, when the Elliot with three
other vessels went up the river, and light
cred their cargoes from the shore to
where they were anchored. Two Of them
were for New Orleans and one for Mobile.
They were to have left April ], but prob
ably did not get away until the day fol
lowing
The Elliot left Bluefields April /, at
10 o'clock a. m, and arrived at Tybee
Sunday night at z o'clock, making the
trip in about seven days. The delay was
due to a squall in the gulf
NICARAGUANs IN FULL CHARGE.
Capt Brown says the Nicaraguans are
still in full authority of the Mosquito res
ervation Their flags are flying from all
the public buildings at Bluefelds, and
they have taken the government of the
reservation under their charge. He says,
however, that there has been no fighting
among any Of the troops, and from all in
dications the people are remaining quiet,
waiting for a settlement of the situation
by other powers, if other powers intend
to interfere in any way, and, if not the
probability is the Nicaraguans will re-
main in control He says the Nicara-
guans so far have not required vessels
there to pay extra port charges.
The British man-of-war Canada, which
was at Bluefelds the latter part of
March, left March 81 for Greytown
There were no warships of any kind in
the harbor when the Elliot left, and no
troops ashore. The Canada sent only a
small boat ashore, which returned to the
vessel the same day.
Capt. Brown said when he left the
Mosquitoes and the Americans in the res
ervation were anXiously awaiting the ar
rival of the American man-Of-war
Philadelphia from Rio. No trouble was
anticipated. ana all seemed to be waiting
for outsiders TO settle the matter.
THE KILLING OF WILSON.
Capt. Brown confirmed the report sent
out few days ago about the killing Of
Wilson by the governor of Rama. Viii
son, he said, was shot while returning to
his apartment after having endeavored to
stop a row in front of his place
Capt. Brown brought with him q COPY
of the Bluefelds Sentinel of March "a It
gives an account of a meeting of Ameri-
cans, held at Bluehelds Friday night,
March %. TO consider what to do with re-
gard to the report that band of Mica
raguans was to be landed that night.
After some discussion a motion was

They informed Gen. Lacaya of this, and
while the committee had gone TO inform
him the patrol force was organized Con-
sui Braida returned shortly afterwards
with the announcementithat Lacaya3had
reconsidered and would take charge of
the town himself. The Americans then
dispersed to their homes, says the Senti-
mel, feeling greatly disappointed.
n an editorial pOmrnauT tho Capfiral
says: THE Sentinel is not trying to
please all. Monroe doctrine is our watch
word"
An advertisement gives notice to all
the creditors of the Mosquito municipal
government to present their claims to the
Nicaraguan commissioner within thirty
days from March q for those who are
residing in town, and within sixty days
for those outside the town
