of an Anti. American Outbreak.
WAsHIFoToS. May l5.-A serious con-
,dition prevails at Bluefelds, Nicaragua
and the evident danger to American
property aud interests has caused the
State Department to make arrangements
for an Investigation and the presence al
Bluehelds Of the American gunboat
Marietta.
In the last FIVE days there has been a
/ good deal Of rioting at Bluefelds and hun.
dreds OF acres OF bananas have been
destroyed. The situation became such
at last that Mr.. Clancy, the American
vioe-Consul at that point. made strong
representations to Gov. Estrada and de-
rnanded that martial law be declared.
This was done. but the indications are
that the action has not tended to improve
the situation very much.
The Bluehelds Steamship Company,
an American concern. is most seriously
affected and has made representations
to the State Department The vessels
OF the company carry fruit from Nicaragua
20 New Orleans.
The State Department has not had
much information about the matter and
has determined to make further investi-
cation. Accordingly the Marietta will
60 TO Ceiba. Honduras. and there pick up
Drew Linard, the American Consul. and
take him to Bluefelds. where he will be
assisted by MIR. CLANCY in making an In
vestigation. He will then report to the
Department.
So far the Department does not know
whether the trouble is due 10 mere labor
difficulties or to anti-American agitation.
II IL feared that the dislike for Americans
prevailing throughout Nicaragua. es-
peciallx in Governmental circles. may
have good deal to do with the diffi-
oultiee, There have been plenty of indi-
cations that the hatred OF Americans in
NIcara1ua Ia very intense.

Z Mayor Mcclellan vetoed yesterday the
Eleventh avenue railroad bin The
measure would have permitted tho city
authorities and the New York Central
Railroad Company to come to an agree
mont whereby the surface tracks on
the west side of the city shall bs re-
moved by the substitution OF either q
subway or an elevated line. But at the
hearing held by the Mayor last wednes-
day Ira A. Place, the ,oompany's counsel,
made It plain that the only agreement
his company would come TO 20 Far az
,..sA.s territory south 6: TaiEs s.-ees
iwas ooncsfned would be the building Of
an elevated structure.
In the memorandum explaining his
rsasons for rejecting the bill the Mayor
aaid that tho real question before him
was whether an elevated viaduot south
Of 1hirtieth street should be accepted
BY him on behsN Of the city a. solution
Of the Eleventh avenue problem. he
quoted decisions In many cases In damage
suits by abutting property owners In
this city and Buffalo for deprivation Of
light and air because Of ths construction
Of elevatsd roads and said he wss oon-
vincsd that should the city consent to
the building Of such q line Il would be
liable for the payment Of such damages.
On ths other hand II the city declined to
agree to an elevated road the aot would
be idle legislation except that IL would
repeal chapter 100 Of the Laws Of 1903.
which provided that X the company and
the old Rapid TrAnsit Commission could
not reach an agreement within a year
the city should have the power to step In
and condemn tho tracks.
For the reason therefore, the Mayor
concluded that this bill will lead to
nothing but win repeal statute which
may be Of value In eliminating the Eleventh
avenue tracks I refuse TO accept It on
behalf Of the city. The present Public
Service Commission has succeeded 20 ali
the rights and powers Of the old Rapid
Transit Commission and the power to
test the question whether the act OF 1909
II stlil available lies with it,
The bin making the civilians who are
employed as drivers Of patrol wagons

chief objection to 1t made by the Mayor
was that IT was mandatory.

provided that the Board Of Estimate may

been in service for thirty-hve years.
