Lewis Baker was the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, appointed by the American President Grover Cleveland to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador, serving from May 13, 1893 to December 9, 1897. As such, he reported his observations on the "negro insurrection" at the Caribbean port city of Bluefields to the State Department in a series of letters, now accessible at the Foreign Relations website of the State Department. The 1860 Treaty of Managua, established the "Mosquito Coast" as an autonomous region from the former British colony of Nicaragua, thereby maintaining British trade access to the lucrative port of Bluefield.
