THE LATEST CLOUD.

Because the government has decided
to send the American minister to Costa
Riea in a warship to Nicaragua for the
purpose of seeing that justice is done
American citizens resident in that coun.
try there need be no fear that hostili-
ties are to be commenced at once. While
the unofficial report received in Wash
ington shows that Nicaragua has over
stepped the bounds of its obligations to-
ward the citizens of a friendly nation,
there may be another side to the story.
1t appears that Americans engaged in
the tobacco trade were accused by the
authorities of having disobeyed the law,
and an attempt was made to raid their
property under the statement that their
tobacco was to be confscated. The raid
was stopped, but the leader of the party
was admitted to the house and went
away unable to prove his charge. Other
means of annoying the Americans were
FOUND, and in time they were imprisoned,
charged with resistance of authority
and violent abuse of the executive"
They were arrested on the street while
peaceably going TO their place of bust.
ness. The report shows that they sim.
ply acted on what they had every rea.
son to believe was within their rights,
the cause of the trouble being antagon.
ism of the tobacco monopoly because
they refused to sell when the company
desired. rlT @a
What the outcome Of the incident will
be can only be determined when the
facts are well known. But it is clear
that if the Americans are in the right
they will receive the full protection of
the American government.
