DETROIT LEAVES BLUEFIELDS.
EVIDENT THAT THERE Is NO CRISIS
IN THE SITUATION.

Minister Merry Went Away on Board
the Cruiser Which Intended to Re
turn, But Later Was Instructed Not
to Do sO-Vixen VIII Proceed
There-AgreemcHt Has Been
Reached With Regard to the Extra
Duties Demanded.
Washington, May 6.-The following ca
blegram has been received at the navy
department from Capt Dayton of the
cruiser Detroit:
Port Limon, Costa Rica, May 6-De-
troit, with minister proceeded immediate
ly to Colon for coal. Dayton"
This is the first cable report the navy
department has had from the commander
of the Detroit with one exception since
she arrived at Bluehelds. 1t was pleaded
by the Nicaraguan authorities in answer
to our complaints against tempering with
our cablegrams, that the wires were un-
serviceable.
Port Limon Is about days run from
Bluefields. The Derot will probably reach
Colon by Monday and return to her sta
tion at Bluehelds by the end of next
week
The minister referred to as being
aboard is United States Minister Merry,
who came down to Bluefelds from Man
aqua TO adjust the dispute between the
American merchants and Gen. Torres.
and the fact that he feels able to leave
Bluehelds at this time is taken here as
an indication that no crisis exists there.
Change in the Orders.
Later in the day a change in the order
of the movements of the Detroit was an
nounced This probably was brought
about by the receipt of the cable message
from Minister Merry, which indicated that
through the transfer to the field of diplom-
acy of the questions a issue between the
government of Nicaragua and the Ameri-
can merchants at Bluefields, there is no
longer the same necessity for the con-
stant presence at that place of an Ameri-
can warship
So the Detroit will not return to Blue
fields, but, instead, will, after taking on
coal at Colon, proceed northward to Grey
town, and there take on board the remains
of the late Gen. Daniel Macauley, the
agent of the Nicaragua Canal Company,
who died on the Isthmus about two years
ago. The vessel will come to Fort Mon
roe and there the remains will be trans

take place at Arlington.
1t is not intended, however. to leave
American interests in Nicaragua entirely
unprotected, so it was announced at the
navy department that the order to the
Vixen to proceed to Bluefeds remains
unchanged and she will start in the
course of a few days.
A Diplomatic Settlement.
Minister Merry has advised the state de-
partment from Port Limon of the nature
of the temporary arrangement he - has
reached with the Nlcaraguan government
respecting the demand Of that government
upon American merchants at Bluefelds
for another payment of the duties on i'm
ports which they had already paid to the
revolutionary government. Under this ar
rangement the additional sums collected
are to be turned over to the British con-
sui at Bluefields. who is to be the custo-
dian of the funds pending diplomat tic ne>
gotiations between this country and Mica
ragua as to the permanent settlement Of
the question.

Tribune will print tomorrow a touching
letter from Miss Bessie Egbert, daughter
of Col. II, C. Egbert of the Twenty-second
Infantry, who was killed while leading his
regiment near Caloocan. II describes his
career and fate in the Philippines. II was
dated March 20.
Speaking of his funeral, tho letter says:
The service was just like him-very
simple and sweet-none of the profusion
of flowers and funeral pomp."
Describing the battle, the letter reads:

on the bank of the river Tuliha, and Sun

Gen. Wheaton TO take the town of Malinta

papa an order to take the trenches In

word ran down the line that the colonel
was shot, and then they started forward
like demonds, never stopping for commands
or orders, and they got 20 the wall and
swarmed over 1t and took The town before
they stopped. Papa lived an hour after
he was shot, and knew before he died that
the town was taken.
Gen. Wheaton came TO him and the
surgeon told us the general just sobbed.
He said; Egbert, you made a magnificent
fight

NO REPORTS FROM SAMOA.
Not Likely That Osborne Is Antag-
Onizing His own People.

OuILiuB HIS OWn HeOpIe.
Washington, May 6-No further advices
have reached the state department from
Samoa, and it is believed that none will
now be had until the Eastern mail ar
rives in about five days time.
The commission is due at Apla next
Wednesday, and the departments infor-
nation is that there is no danger Of fur
ther outbreaks in the meanwhile.
THERE'S nothing in the reports to the de-
partment tending to sustain the state
ment that United States Consul Osborne
antagonized the British and Americans IN
Apia by openly adhering to the German
position.
Respecting the reported refusal of the
consul to pay the salary Of King Tanu
although nothing is known of the de-
tails, the disposition is TO approve of his
action in the matter. 1t is known here
officially that Mr. Osborne is not acting
in any such capacity as president of the
municipal council, but In view of the
withdrawal of the German official, DR.
Ranel, who occupied that position until
recently, 1t Is not improbable that the
duties of the place may have devolved
upon the American consul.
In view Of the questionable legality of
the provisional government, 1t Is believed
that MIR. Osborne would scarcely be ius-
tilted in assuming the risk OF making
payments upon the salary of the King.
whose title Is called into question by Ger
many.
