The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-12-22

American history repeats itself
with variations. Last week United
States men-of-war hurried down to
Greytown with the knowledge that
it was in the hands of revolutionists,
but with intent if not to help,
certainly not hinder the revolution.
When a United States man-of-war
went to Greytown "a years ago to
find it in the hands of revolutionists,
her guns laid the town in ruins and
incidentally ended the revolution.
Greytown before 1854 was called
San Juan del Norte, as it still is by
the Nicaraguans. In that year about
three hundred adventures, mostly
colored men from the British is
land of Jamaica, seized the place
and renamed it Greytown, doubt
less in honor of Earl Grey, then
dead, but recently a power in the
politics of the world. There may
have been worse places on earth than
Greytown in the hands of the little
band of whites and blacks that
attempted to set up an independent
state there, but certainly the new
corners included a choice assort-
ment of blackguards and ruffians
Ol Iu6 hlllu IudI WClO VASTLY ~
cruited in those days for almost any
kind of adventure upon the out
skirts of civilization.
At first these men pretended to re-
cognize the sovereignty of the Mos
quito Indian chief in those parts, but
they soon showed that this policy
was only a blind. Nicaragua feared
that they were really holding the
coast for the British, and this coun-
try shared this fear. At that time
a company of Americans with a
Nicaraguan charter was operating a
trade route across Nicaragua and the
eastern terminus of the Transit COM
panys route was close beside Grey
town at a place called Punta Arenas,
or Sandy Point. A rival British COM
pany had wished to have a monopoly
of the route, and for this reason,
or just because they liked a scrap,
the adventures at Greytown attack
ed Punta Arenas, and destroyed and
carried off goods of n of the
Transit Company's steamers, shot
one of the Greytown men, and re-
sisted arrest when the mayor OF
Greytown sent a warrant. 1t hap
pened that Borland, the American
minister to Nicaragua, was aboard
the steamer at this very time, and
he it was that led those who resisted
the arrest of the captain. Borland
ought to have known that Greytown
was no good place for him to visit
after such a performance, but he
did go ashore, and the mayor tried
to have him arrested. In the free
fight that followed Borland was
wounded in the face, but he got aawy
and he lost no time in reporting the
affair to the state department.
When the news came that the
fibusters at Greytown had DESTROYED
