Bluefields, the headquarters Of Gen.
eral Reyes, is charming town of about
$500 inhabitants, chiefly composed Of
natives, Jamaica negroes, several hun
bred Chinese and a sprinkling of
British. German and American traders.
It is the seat of the banana industry Of
Nicaragua and the base Of supplies for
the lumbermen exploring the forests adj
sjacent to the streams flowing into the
estuary on which the town is located,
and for the miners now working the
rich gold placers of the Prinzapulca,
Wawa Coco and other rivers to the
north
The area Of the reservation is various
" estimated at from Is, 900 to SO, 900
square miles. It's inhabitants number
ing about 10000, are mostly aboriginal
Indians, whose chief calls himself king
of Mosquito.
The reservation and its inhabitants
were under English protection until
1859. when it was coded to Honduras,
which in 1850 handed it over to Nicara-
qua. which is actually bent on keeping
it. The last king of Mosquito was Clar-
ence, an amiable young man, who was
deposed about four years ago by the Nj
caraguans. Clarence was taken away
from Bluefelds on British man-of-war
to Kingston. Jamaica, where he is now
being educated at the expense of the
British government and is in receipt Of
a liberal allowance. 1t is believed that
it is the intention Of Great Britain to
place him on the throne at the first ia
vorable opportunity, which the present
revolution may afford.
This reservation is covered with vast
forests, yielding excellent timber, fine
cabinet woods, mahogany and rosewood,
dyewoods and many medicinal trees. In
the mountains gold, silver and other
metals are found, and coal. marble and
alabaster. sulphur, alum and other min
ernls are abundant. The rich resources
Of this reservation are undeveloped
Banana, coca, rubber and other trees
flourish luxuriantly.
The town Of Bluefelds will be the
entrepot for this vast commerce when
the canal is built-the completion Of
which will have tendency to secure in
Nicaragua stable form Of government
land the neglected and rich industries
Of the country are properly developed.

LIMITING FOR THE BABY.

The sum OF 5000 Is now offered as a
reward to whomsocver secures the return
OF the Clark child "and no questions
asked" An additional 1900 is onered
for the return OF the child "and the con-
vlction OF the abductor." The pafeh's
OF the baby are without means. Inc
money 10 pay the rewards has been pro-
missed by newspaper proprietors and
sympathizing friends.
Handwriting experts have compareu
the manuscript OF the advertisement
which carrie Jones' the nurse, caused
70 be inserted in New York newspaper.
and which was the means OF her getting
a situation at the Clarks, with the note
written Mrs. Clark and signed Three.
The result Is, that they say one person
wrote both. More: They are Of the opin-
ion that that person Is a woman. IL,
therefore. follows that the guilty one
can't be "a man used 10 preparing copy
for printers" However, Il may have been
q woman with a journalistic training.
II is estimated that no LEGS than hOO
policemen and detectives, besides many
private citizens, are now more or less
actively engaged in bunting for The lost
child. Marion Clark, by name-the ~
months-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
A. w. Clark, Of 159 east Sixty-hfth street.
This is an immense force TO be engaged
in search after one little baby; but poor
Charlie Ross, first and last, was sought
by ten times that number and was never
found. But we hope our New York friends
VIII have better luck. Indeed, the
Chief OF Police Of New York has given
Mr.. Clark assurances, which no will not
repeat, that have cheered himself and
wife somewhat.
The interest taken in this case in New
York, and throughout the country, Is
greatly TO the credit of humanity. Many
are the prayers that are being offered by
pous souls for sustaining strength for
the parents and for the return OF the
child. Should little Marion be recovered
alive and well she could have a popular
reception as hearty. if not as grand, as
that which awaits Admiral Dewey's re-
turn to our, shores.
