The latest from Bluefields, Nicara-
qua, is that the British are in prac-
tical control OF the entire reserva-
tion. There now seems 10 be no at
tempt whatever to bring about a
peaceful government. The COM
mander of the British warship Cleo

this is about all the government
there Is in the city.
The battle.ship Blake hal arrived

A letter from Capt. T.. I. Ryder,
formerly a resident OF Provincetown,
Mass, now resident Of Bluefel,s,
says that IL It had not been for the
coming OF the Cleopatra all the
American and foreign residents
would have been killed.
Captain Ryder continues: "After
the formation Of the Provisional
Government the commander Of the
Cleopatra compelled the Spanish
troops TO retire 10 Grcytown. They
sailed for that place on the Cleo.
patra on the 9th inst. Lieutenant.

The Cleopatra returned on the 9th

to l25. Yesterday, March 9, 400

II is believed they intended to re-.
turn when the warship went away
and sack the town. The Americans
asked the commander Of the Cleo
patra to stay here and protect them.
and he promised To stay until reiiey-

been for our British cousins God
only knows what would have been
the fate OF us Americans. All bust.

knows what an hour may bring
