No. 119.
Mr. De
Soto to Mr. Uhl.
San Juan del Norte, November 9, 1894. (Received December 1.)
Sir: I have the honor to report, according to letter received from Mr. B. B. Seat, United States consular agent at Bluefields, Nicaragua, and from Capt. C. O’Neil, commander of the U. S. S. Marblehead, that, [Page 195] in accordance with permission solicited and received from the Nicaraguan Government, the United States citizens Messrs. Lampton and Wiltbank were landed in Bluefields on the 26th of October last.
Matters in Bluefields are reported very quiet and orderly, and no further troubles are anticipated. The U. S. S. Marblehead was to have left Bluefields for Cartagena on the 5th instant.
The municipal government was to be inaugurated at Bluefields on the 29th of October last. As soon as necessary information has been received I will write to the Department.
I understand that the Nicaraguan officials at Bluefields have adopted a conciliatory and friendly policy toward Americans and all other foreigners there.
I have had no communication from Minister L. Baker since the departure of Consul S. C. Braida.
I am informed that all is quiet and orderly in the interior also.
I have, etc.,
United States Vice-Consul.
