THE MOSQUITO QUESTION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The present condition of the Nicaraguan involve ment appears to be this:
 The United States distinctly refuses to reopen the Mosquito question at the point where negotiations were proceeding year ago, when the only law in the disputed ter rtory emanated from Chief Clarence and the tilibusiering supporter he had gath cred around him. 'The reopening of the question at this point app.ars to be what Great Britain desires. It is held by the United States that the new government established by Nicaragua at Bluefi dds is admittedly vast improvement upon the Irresponsible rule of an ignorant half. breed, and that Great Britain, in common with the United States and other countries in he interest of commerce, should now be willing to hold an organized government to account for the maintenance of order and for the protection of foreign interests in that sparsely settled country.
 While to some extent the negotiations, which England herself invited under pressure, looking to the abrogation of the treaty of Managua involved the threshing over of much old straw. the indisputable facts remain that Great Britain has known and tacity agreed 10 the new order of con- tro' ,~l ich has existed at Bluetelds for sey- eraI months; that Great Britain has been fully aware of the approval extended by the United States to the Nicaraguan assump- ton of responsibility for the preservation of law and order there, and that Great Britain has refrained, until goaded by the expulsion of Ex-Consul Hatch, from re- facilitating the claims of an ancient tribe of Indians, whose present members consist of Jamacian negroes, hal breeds and law resisting whites ot various nationalites.
 Under ihe circumstances the United otherwise a attempt to return to the old order of things. For forty years not the slightest progress has resulted from the continuous and ex- aspera'iug negotiations growing out oi tae Clayton -Buiwef treaty, with it's volumin on , correspondence, until Nicaragua secured complete and final coltfoi of the Mosquito territory last August. The value Of the time consumed by the great statesmen of this country and of Great Britain in tue ex- change of ideas resulted in affecting the convictions of neither in the slightest de- gree, and with the recollection of this hopeless discussion of question forced upon the present administration 1t is re- lrded as certain that the United States will not be induced to again throw open to profitless discussion the principles of the Monroe doctrine, which are now held to be beyond any friendly contention by foreign power.
 Notwithstanding the natural desire of the naval authorities to disclaim any men ace to a friendly country in the announced intention to maintain unusually large fl sets on both coasts of Central America, it is not denied that the ships are held in readiness to proceed under telegraph or ders, nor is it regarded at all possible that the fleets while cruising near Nicaragua, Panama or Venezuela will even passyely encourage any disrespect for the American flag in those waters.
