Gt.at Britain's ofllclili W.rs VUU.it by tba Company'. Executive Committee H’lwn Congrcee nofus.it Govern ment Alii to tlio Project. / V.'arJilngton. Nov. 27.—As a result of a conference today between the president and Secretary Gresham tho cruiser Columfcla, whldh has been for eeveral weeks at Kingston, 'Jamaica, was cabled peremptory orders to pro ceed at once to Blueflelds for the pro tection of -American Interests. Mr. Gresham’s visit to the president's coun try home followed Immediately upon an interview he had with the Nicaraguan minister. All the officials acquainted with the affair refuse to divulge the reason of the hurried orders to the Co lumbia or to confirm statements from ■Panama In regard to a refusal of Great Britain to recognize the Nicaraguan government. Acting Secretary McAdoo said that If it -were 'true that, 'the Columbia had gone to Blueflelds it was probably on a cruise conforming wltfl the estab lished policy of rho government to keep a ship in Central American wa ters, as the navy department had no recent reports from Blueflelds Indicat ing 'trouble there. It is learned, however, on excellent authority that not only the Columbia, •but the Marblehead, which arrived at Kingston -today, will remain at Blue- fields continuously this winter and that the Montgomery may be sent there from 'Mobile, and that preliminary orders have been sent to New York to have all the ships In commission of tho North Atlantic squadron prepared for u West Indian cruise at the earliest possible moment. In addition, the sail ing orders for the Ban Francisco, which was to leave December 15 to become the flagship In Europena -waters, have tbeen withheld, and She may be sent immediately to the Gulf of Mexico. Tho Castine’s cruise to the South Atlantic, which -waB to commence early next month, wilt in nil probability be in terrupted when she reaches Che West Indies. Instructions to prepare the Minneapolis for sea at once have also been sent to navy department chiefs. There-'seems to be, in fact, almost a war scire pervading the navy, brought about 'by diplomatic rumors to the ef fect that Great Britain, which several months ago expressed a willingness to recognize the full Jurisdictional rights <51 Nicaragua over the -Mosquito coast, had Shown a disposition -to resent what appears to be 'the practical annexation of that territory and its complete In corporation ns a -portion of Nicaragua. iAs long as the lnter-oceanlc canal bill scorned under favorablo consideration at the last session of congress, Great Britain remained quiescent in the Mos quito controversy, and as a result of the conferences whioh were held in Washington, Lord Rosebery’s, cabinet consented to receive a special envoy from Nicaragua, whose mission related solely to the abrogation of the treaty which gave Great Britain guardianship over the now almost extinct tribe of Mosquito Indians. This envoy, it Is understood, has been in London for some time, but when congress ad journed without acting on the canal ■bill the reorganization committee of -the canal company went to England In September last to seek money, and -the suggested abrogation of the Brit ish -treaty has been put in the hack- ^Not^unt*. -today was It definitely learned that Great Britain had declined to recognize the legality of the new order of -things on the Mosquito coast and,that it had so notified Nicaragua, although such action has beqa antici pator for several weeks, which acoounts for Bhe fact that tho Coiutti* •bla and Majiblehead were not long ago brought home. It may also explain, to some extent why the Montgomery was sent south to Mobile, ostensibly to -test new coal. The near approach of congress. It Is said, gives the presi dent assurance that be will be sup ported to the fullest extent in prevent ing foreign Interference near the route of the proposed luter-occan canal. the srriMfnoN is grave. (Panama, Nov. 27.—Advices from Ni caragua indicate a grave situation In the Mosquito reservation. TKc British minister. Mr. Gosling, has notified Ni caragua that Great Britain refuses to recognize the Nicaraguan government at Blueflelds. After an exchange of views. Minister Goslln" telegraphed to Port Lion for a British warship to come at once to Blueflelds. la Is re ported that the Nicaraguan canal pro ject Is at the bottom of tho matter and serious trouble Is feared.
