The British At ueheld,.

The report that British marines had landed
at Bluefelds, Nicaragua is confirmed. Blue
fields Is the chief town of the Mosquito In.
dians who formerly were under the protec.
tion of Great Britain.
About 500 Nicaraguan soldiers entered the
town on the 25th Of February They brought
no cannon with them. They simply entered
under arms aud without any Resistance on
the part Of the natives, they hoisted the NJ
caragtian Rag over the custom house and over
their public buildings. Tho Mosquitos were
considerably stirred up by the presence Of SO
large IN armed force as they we're practically
without protection lib the city.
The Mosquitoes, fearing they might be at
tackled by the Nicaraguans, appealed to the
lamar for protection. Thursday, March l.,
the lamar, without any authority from the
British government, as they had no time to
get such authority, landed three boat loads
of armed men. They were armed with car
bines and cutlasses. The men went ashore In
the steam launch Of the man -of-war and car-
rled with them two Calling guns and three
field pieces. Tho British forces did not land
at Blueields, but at Bluctclds Bluff, about
four miles northwest of the city. There was

As 1t is required to do.
: They were agreed and emphatic in their

greatly interfered with and was somewhat
foreign to the usual duties Of the judiciary; ;
,and they hoped that the next legislature
would amend the Law SO IS 10 provide some
other mode of selecting public trustees.
The judges did not feel at liberty to
declare the law unc constitutional, nor to re-
fuse to comply with its requirements since
the presumptions are always in favor Of leg
iislatIve acts until the contrary appears
1t seemed to be optional with parties whether
TO name the public trustee or q private trus-
tee In deeds of trust hereafter to be executed,
and IL parties should name the public trustee
ithe judges could sec NO reason to doubt the
validity Of his acts and proceedings under In

TOO Many Strangers Arriving At Homo
lulu and an Uprising Feared.
Every steamer that has arrived at Honolulu
during the last two months has brought .
number OF passengers, who sometimes have
no visible means Of support and no good reas-
on for coming to the islands. This has oo-
CURED SO often and Honolulu 10 becoming 80
overrun with these strangers that the idea has
become prevalent that they have come In the
Interest Of the ex-queen. 1t has been re-
ported to the government and oh seemingly
good authority that the agents OF the ex-
queen have been recruiting men In both the
United States and British Columbia, princi-
pally the latter.
For some time the government refused 70
believe such rumors but Of late suspicion has
been aroused and active steps have been taken
to nip In the bud any plot that the royallsts
may have of restoring the queen BY force.
1t is claimed that a number of the men have
enlisted in the army and are ready ut the first
sign of any trouble to join the royalists IN an
attack upon the government.
bill was passed on Thursday last that will
stop the coming of any more men Of this
class. 1t is to the effect that any allen who
lands there must furnish good evidence that
he comes with no intention OF hostility to the
government, and he must be able In show
that he has means OF supporting himself
while there. Another bill that #as passed
the same day provides for the deportation Of
all persons now IN the islands III relation u
whom there is probable cause to believe that
he sntertaihs any unlawful intentiona eoutri-
lrary To the established systen oi govern
ment: Sneh persons may be arrested, and, II
found guilty, be banished from the country
for space of six years, or may be imprisoned
at hard labor for one year.
