THE BLUEFIELDS SITUATION.
Disposition to Haer erass American Business
Men Which Will Not BE Tolerated.

Men Which VIII Not BE Tolerated.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Advices re-
ceived here from Bluefields, Nicaragua,
indicate that the situation there SO far
as American interests are concerned Is
extremely unsatisfactory and discour-
aging. 1t is being impressed upon the
officials here that persons high in the
Nicaraguan government are pursuing
policy calculated very deliberately to
crush the American business interests,
now Of considerable magnitude in the
Mosquito country. The reports are to
the effect that ever since the appear
ance Of the revolution some months
ago. the Nicaraguan government has
been jealous of the influence OF the
American settlement, and the Reyes
rebellion seems to have settled it in the
determination to destroy the American
influence in that neighborhood. Mic
araguans hold the American merchants
responsible for Reyes revolution. They
have consequently determined, accord
ing TO reports received here. to impose
| upon these American merchants the
entire expense 70 which the government
was pu. in repressing the rebellion,
amounting to about $G00,00O. This
could not be done directly without a
breach Of international law. hence the
attempt was made to collect large
part Of il through demand upon the
merchants for second payment upon
imports paid to the de facto govern.
ment OF Bluefields while Reyes was in
possession of the place. Reports show
that this government Of Reyes was &C
tually de facto in the full sense of the
term. In proof oc this II is shown thai

Discussing the Arbitration Schemes

The Hague, June 9.-The peace con-
ference entered today upon its most
important stage, when the drafting
committee of the third section took up
arbitration. According to a foreign
delegate, the American scheme does nGt
seem to have obtained she support OF
many of the delegates.
The proposals of Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, head of the British delegation
has the advantage OF not saddling the
powers with the expense OF a perma-
nently sitting tribunal. The drafting
committee was in session for three
hours, although not a single conclusion
was reached, with the exception OF the
acceptance of the British scheme as
the basis upon which to discuss the es-
tablishment OF tribunal OF arbLtra-
tion.
The great powers think II impossible,
it is said, to go beyond Sir Julian
Pauncefote's proposals. The American
and the Russian projects have not been
abandoned. Sir Julian Pauncefote win
merely be taken as the basis of discus
sion; and the American delegates az
