the round trip between Dover and

While two Frenchmen, Louis Bleriot

channel in an aeroplane. 1t remained
for an Englishman in an American

The distance across between the two

Bluefelds Nicaragua June 2.-Dr. Ju-
liam Irias. the representative on the At
lantic coast of President Madriz has is
yued a decree that vessels cleared for
Bluefields on or after June l may not en-
ter this port without the permission of
the Madriz government. The decree sets
forth that all shipping which cleared for
Bluefields before the date mentioned will
lie permitted to enter the harbor after
the payment of custom duties at the GUS
tom house on Bluefields Bluff, which we
recently captured and is still held by the
government troops
The official decree was issued from
aboard the Nicaraguan war vessel We
nus, and if it's provisions are observed
it will mean that the coastwise traffic

ening of the position of the insurgents
at Bluefields.
The United States gunboat Paducah
will not permit the Venus to lombard
the city of Bluefields or to shell the
trenches of the revolutionists on the is
land side of the city by firing over the
provisional capital. Whether the United
States government will allow the Nicara-
guam government to say what vessels
shall enter the chief Eastern seaport of
the country, or under what conditions
such entrance shall be made, is a matter
of doubt here, where a decision in the
matter by Secretary Knox is anxiously
awaited.
