Reported Sinking of Gunboat by the

 Washington, May 22.-The navy de- partment has had no report from the captain of the Detroit of any difficulty with the Nicaraguan officials, or of any trouble with the Nicaraguan gunboat San Jacinto, which an uncont1rmed re- port says the Detroit sank after an eA- change of shots. The Detroit arrived at Rluefelds on May Il, and since that date no report ha scome from her. Sne was to take on board there the body or the late General MacAuley for trans portation to the United States.
 As the latest telegraphic and mall ad- vices from the American officials at Bluefields and other points In Nicarag- ua contained nothing to indicate any serious friction between the Unlteu States and Nicaraguan officials Secre- tary Long said to-day that he was not inclined to credit the report that unlt- ed states ship had been called upon to resort to extreme measures. Secretary Hay also said that no word had been received at the state department on the subject, and therefore he was not pre- pared to believe that anything or the kind had taken place.
 The latest advices from Nicaragua were to the effect that the negotiations for settlement of the recent customs differences were progressing with every indication of amicable settlement.

Alderman Countryman May Go to
 Washington.
 There is probability that Alderman w. A. ountryman will be appointed to a position in Washington in connection with the work of the coming census. Governor Merriam, who will have charge of the census, will depend, to some extent, on Carroll D. Wright for advice in the selection of his statistic clans and those recommended by MT. Wright will in all likelihood be appoint ed to positions. John Addison Porter, the secretary to the president, has in- terested himself in securing an appoint ment for Alderman Countryman. He has recommended the alderman to MT. Wright. Recently Colonel Samuel B. Horne, the commissioner of labor sta tistics, and MT. Wright met in Boston and Colonel Horne cPmmended Alder man Countryman as a statistician Of marked ability. MT. Wright left Colo mel Horne under the impression that Alderman Countryman will receive an appointment under Governor Merriam. Hartford Times.
