Officials of tbe department, while con conceding - ceding conceding that there may have been ntroci ntrocities - ties ntrocities on a much smaller scale than reported, are contident that no American interests have beeu jeopardized, aud that being the case this government, they consider, is not culled upon as yet to take uny active inter interest - est interest in the matter.

It is learned, however, od excellent au authority - thority authority that not only the Columbia, but the Marblehead, which arrived at Kingston to today, - day, today, will remain at Biuetields continuously this winter aud that the Montgomery may be sent therefrom Mobile, aud that pre preliminary - liminary preliminary orders have been sent to New York to have all the ships iu commission for the North Atlantic squadron prepared for a West Indian cruise at tbe earliest possible moment.

Not until today was it dciluitely learned that Great Britain had declined to recog recognize - nize recognize Ihe legality ol tbe new order ol things on the Mosquito coast and that it had so uotifled Nicaragua,although suoa action has been anticipated lor several weeks, which accounts lor tbo fact that tbe Columbia and Marblehead were noi long ago brought home. It may also explaiu to some extent why the Montgomery was sent south to Mobile, ostensibly to tost new coal.
