The international complication al

what Of a puzzle to newspaper readers
not particularly well posted in Central
American affairs. It was well enough
understood from the dispatches that the
Nicaraguan government or its represent
alive, General Lacayo, had overthrovn
the Mosquito government, but just why
the United States and England should
get mixed up in the affair was not cas-
lily apparent to those who did not know
that England has for years asserted a
virtual protectorate over the Mosquito
Indians, and that American citizens had
developed practically all the industries
and commerce of the country.
Though the Mosquito country is with
in the territorial limits of Nicaragua,
the Indians, who have occupied it from
time immemorial, have always been
practically independent and have been
absolutely SO since 1860, when England
made treaty with Nicaragua by which
they were guaranteed the right Of self
government. Under this treaty the Mic
araguan government was permitted to
send commissioner into the Mosquito
country to look out for its interests, but
