Owing to the absence of specific information was sought to be obtained through Vice-Consul Call dera and other agencies. the officials here undoubtedly will delay, at least for time. before taking definite ac- ton. a.s
 A dispatch received, from Bluefields treasures the United States as to whether American interests or Ameri- can citizens are being interfered with by the revolutionary army. In effect. the dispatch states that great care is being exercised to protect American in- terests.
 The advices add that the steamer Die tator, 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 examin- ing the vessel with view to determin- ing whether she carried contraband goods. The delay 1t Is said resulted in no damage to the steamship company. It is also reported that Amelio Espi- nosa of the revolutionary provisional government, has given up his post as minister general.
