IMPOSING ON AMERICANS.
The Government of Nicaragua Showing
Prejudice Against Citizens of 1.-The United
States.

Prejudice Against Citizens of 1.-The United
States.
Washington, d. c., May 1.-Advices
from Bluefelds, Nicaragua, indicate
that the situation there so far as Amer
lean interests are concerned is extreme
ly unsatisfactory and discouraging. It
is being impressed upon the officials
here that persons high in the Near
aguan government are purs ing pol
icy calculated TO crush the American
business interests, now of considerable
magnitude, in the Mosquito country.
The reports are to the effect that ever
since the Clarence rebellion some years
ago the Niearaguan government has
been jealous of the growing Importance
of the American settlements and the
Reyes rebellion recently seems to have
confirmed it in the determination 10
destroy the American influence in that
section. The Nicaraguans hold the
American merchants responsible for
Reyes rebellion. They have conse-
quently determined according to reports
received here, to impose upon these
American merchants the entire expense
to which the government was put in
depressing the rebellion, amounting TO
about 100000 This could not be done
directly without breach of interna-
tional law, hence the attempt was
made to collect large part of it
through demand upon the merchants
for second payment upon imports
paid to the de facto government of
Bluefields while Reyes was In posses
sion of the place. The reports show
that this government of Reyes was ac-
tually de facto in the full sense of the
term. In proof of this it is shown that
Estrada, the Niearaguan governor OF
the place, sought and was given refuge
in the United States consular agency.
Also the dues collected on imports were
collected for Reyes by the same treas
urer who had held the place for the
past three years.
The American interests in Bluefields
now aggregate fully 100000 in gold
and the State Department is determin-
ed that they shall be protected against
the proposed extortion, so that inter-
esting news is expected at any moment
in view of the fact that a United States
manof-war. the Detroit, is there to ex
ecute the orders of the department.
