decision was in favor of England
Under this decision settlers began to come
in, especially from Canada and Jamaica, and
business became quite brisk. Nicaragua
failed in another attempt to induce the coast
to vote in favor of full citizenship, and mat
tiers went on merrily till few months after

polling place. to determine finally the status
of the coast.
In this election there could be only one
result and Nicaragua announced that the
coast had accepted full citizenship in Mica
ragua, and, therefore, British interference
was at an end. ~
For ten years. In spite Of occasional at.
tempts at revolution, one nearly successful,
matters went on fairly at blueaelds and
business grew, but in 1904 there began sys.
tematic attempts to Cypress this coast.
AS further vexation of foreigners, the
Moravian missionaries and the Church of
England rector at Bluefelds, who, since the
Catholic churches have been harried out OF
existence, are the only representatives of
religion of any kind in all this region, have
had their schools closed because tuition was
in English.

Nicaragua she agreed to surrender her pro-
tectorate and recognize the sovereignty Of
Nicaragua.
Nicaragua in turn, agreed to grant complete
local self-government to the Mosquito tribes
then of blood largely diluted with strains OF
white and Jamaica negro, and using Eng.
lish as their official language. Nicaragua
also bound itself to make a free port Of
Greytown at the mouth of the navigable river
by which the great central lake of Nicaragua
discharges into the Caribbean sea, and for
ten years to pay annually to the Mosquito
Indians subsidy Of $4,000.
After 10 years less than half of the sub
sidy had been paid, while in violation of the
treaty Nicaragua had imposed duties at Grey
town under the pretext that they we're to
pay the subsidy, and had introduced a gov
ernor and garrison at Bluefelds, the Mo-
squito kings capital, and was otherwise vex-
Ing the inhabitants so as to force them to
ABANDON the English language and their local
self-government. Finally, after most inso-
lent treatment of the British consul at Grey
town, who had been appointed the Mosquito
kings agent to receive the arrears, England
sent warship to Greytown. Nicaragua pro
tested that. as the British protectorate had
been withdrawn and Nicaragua's sovereignty
recognized over the coast, 1t was none Of

Of the Gregory land Office and the

The incidents leading up to the pre-

are as follows: On October l, 1909. a

five days later Baker filed soldiers

in favor Of the squatter. Silsbee then
had fifteen days in which to appeal
from the decision, but he did not even
take advantage of his rights in that
direction.
Mr.. Burns declares that IL Silsbee

ANOTHER MEXICAN REVOLT?
New Party, Sore at Maderists, May
Cause Some Trouble,

Juarez, Mex, May 23.-Peace reigns
supreme in northern Mexico, where
news of the signing of peace agree
ment has penetrated. The only dis
quieting reports of the day were pri-
vate advices from Mexico City that
members of the "cientifico" party, de-
posed because of the Maderist agree
ment, were talking of starting another
revolution against the latter. Trouble
from the cientificos, is admitted here,
is expected, but whether or not it
will take the form of revolution af-
ter Madero assumes power is not clear
1t is not believed Mexican people will
rally to another revolutionary move
ment for some time at least and the
opposition from the cientificos, it is
believed, really is the nature of vigor-
GUS political activity.
The insurrecto troops may be kept
at their various garrisons in Mexico
for few months readiness for trou-
BILE but no definite plans along that
line have been formed by Senior Ma
dero. He intends to see that the
guarantees are carried out by the in
stallation Of good governors and his
intention at present is to keep the
troops modified merely until complete
order is restored. Senior Madero and
his political chiefs discussed the make
up of the new cabinet which is to sur
round Senior De la Barra, the incom-
ing provisional president.
The most satisfying news to them
was the receipt of a message from
Ernesto Madero at Monterey, a bro
Their of Francisco Madero, ST., saying
that he would accept the portfolio of
finance. The cabinet slate predicted
by the Associated Press recently still
remains intact
