Washington, Nov. 2S. Before taking
further action on the new Bluefields
trouble, the state department: will
await to hear from Ambassador Bay
ard, who haa been enlarged to inquire
Into the matter at London. While the
state of affairs at Blueflelds, as it has
been reported to the state department,
is certiainly grave, it Is by no means
impossible that it will admit of an ex
planation by the British government
that will oast a new light on the mat
ter. At any rate there la no possible
foundation for a war scare at this time.

But from the statement of events made

apprehended tih&t the whole subject of
of the British claim to a protectorate
over the Mosquito reservation must be
reopened and a diplomatic warfa're must
be conducted by Mr. Bayard with the
British foreign office, and meanwhile
affairs at BJueflelds will remain in stat

after all the whole case may turn on

came indignant and threatened to re
move the president. He then put the

Thoae who are acquainted with the
Southern Utes do not believe that they

the trouble are exaggerated.
