ALL QUIET At BLUEFIELDS
Capt. Brown Tells Of The Escape Of
Wilson's Murderer.


The Mosquito Chief Clarence Brought
Back by the British Man-of-War.
The Nioaraguan Soldiers Ordered
Away From the Town-No Obstruc-
tons to Commerce in the Reserva-
ton and Everybody Is Waiting to
See What Is Going TO Be Done by
Uncle Sam.
The British steamer Elliot, Capt. A.
Brown, arrived last night about clock
from Bluefelds, Nicaragua but brought
no news of special Importance from the
Mosquito reservation, beyond the report
of the escape of Aguella and the rein
statement of Clarence the Mosquito chief.
The bare reports of these facts have al
ready been given in telegraphic dis
patches.
The Indian Chief Clarence was brought
back to Bluefields by the British man-of-
war Magicienne, and was taken ashore
by the captain together with a body Of
British sailors. His reinstatement has
not so far interfered with the provisional
government, and the captain of the
British man-of-war told Gen. Lacaya
when Clarence was landed that he would
be responsible for the chief in anything
that might occur where he was con-
cerncd.
THE NICARAGUAN SOLDIERS LEAVE.
About May or the captain OF the
English man of-var gave orders that all
the NicaraCuan soldiers in Eluetields
must leave the town. Capt Brown says
there was not a Nicaraguan soldier in the
place six hours after the order had been
given. It was sent ashore IN the after
noon, and by 9 o'clock that night all the
Nicar1guau soldiers were out of the place
He reports everything quiet in Bluedeids,
and AZ other points in the resarra-
ton, and says that 10 attempts are be-
ing made, 50 far as he can see, TO inter
fere with commerce by Lacaya, the Mica
raguan minister. Capt. Brown said he
had no trouble whatever in loading his
cargo Of 10, 900 punches of bananas, with
the exception OF the condition of the
weather, it beng the middle of the rainy
season. which kept him from loading
when he first arrived.
AGUELLA's ESCAPE.
Capt Brown said there was some con
siderable excitement at first over the es-
cape of Agucila, the murderer of the
American. Wilson, at Kama, while
Aguella was temporarily in charge
AgUelld made his escape on the night of
May ~, and had not been recaptured up
10 May 10, The day the Elliot sailed for
savannah. Aguella was confined in the
Bluedelds prison, which, from all ac-
counts, is not the securest in the world
and he, together with another murderer
confined there, made rush for liberty
Just as the doors were being closed by
Jailer Patterson.
Torres, the governor Of Rama, is com
planning of reports being spread in Blue
fields, where he is represented as saving
that he would have killed twenty Ameri-
cans instead of one had he been in
Aguella's place Such reports Torres
denies as being false and malicious, and
only spread with the intention of making
a mountain out of mole hill
Torres says that Aguella was only act
ing governor during his absence in the in
terror and that the shooting was not in
territorial. Aguella also declares that he
had no personal emnity toward Wilson.
AGUELLA's STORY OF IT.
His description of the shooting, given
before his escape, is as follows:
Il was left in charge of Rama during
the absence of Torres, late at night. I
heard disturbance, and, as we some
times have drunken Indians and Span
iards, who are ready TO use a weaDon at
police have often been beaten by drunken
rowdies, so IiOthought this precaution
necessary. l saw several men lighting on
the gallery of Brown & Harris store.
The night was dark, but l recognized two
OF our police, and saw another man with
gun pointed toward the police. | saw
the policeman was in DANCER. and ] fred.
did not know who the man was until
after DR.. Chapman arrived. We did not
think he was badly wounded, and, as DR..
Chapman is an American physician. we
thougnt That 1t was unnecessary to re-
move him to Bluefeds. Wilson. or
Flynn, the American who was killed, was
deserter from United States war ship
stationed in the Pacific. He travelled
overland from the Pacific and arrived in
Bluehelds in his sailor blouse and swing
ing trousers, with the ships name on his
cap. Wilson was penniless and obtained
employment from Brown & Harris as
Waterman. He had been in that position
for about three months when his death
happened. 1t is not known whether he
had any family or relatives in the United
States or mott
Capt Brown arrived at Bluefelds
Tuesday, May s, but could not begin load
ing until Sunday, May 10, on account Of
the severe rainy weather. He left there
Tuesday, May 10, at $50 o'clock, and
arrived at Tybee last night at s
O'Clock, making the trip in about
six days and eight hours This
is extra good time, considering
the fact that the Elliot was in a heavy
gale all during Saturday night and Sun
day Capt. Brown says there were three
men-of-war at Bluefelds-he New York
and the San Francisco, besides the Brit
Usher. He will leave for Bluefelds again
