The state department is still with
out information from the American
vice-consul at Managua, Mr.. Cal
dera, and the strong inference is that
ms dispatches have been intercepted
by the Nicaraguan officials under
President Zelaya, at least tc the extent
of cutting telegraph wires. The de-
partment has no doubt that Mr.. Cal
dera has attempted to communicate
with il several times during the last
week or more. Owing to the absence
of specification information, sought to
be obtained of Yice-COnsul Caldera
and other agencies, the officials here
undoubtedly will delay at least for a
time before taking definite action.
NO INTERFERENCE.
A dispatch received from Bluefields
treasures the United States as to
whether American interests or Amer
lean citizens are being interfeFed with
by the revolutionary army. In effect
the dispatch states that great care is

The advices added that the steamer
Dictator, belonging to the Bluefields
Steamship company, which came into
the possession of the revolutionary
forces about a week ago, was detained
only one day and that such detention
was only for the purpose of examining
the vessel with a view to determining
whether she carried contraband goods.
The delay, it is said, resulted in no

that Cardinal Richelieu was compelled
