He reigned under the guardian ship of the Hon Charles Patterson, Vice-President of the Council, until he came of age and assumed full ruling powers on 6th September 1893. He was deposed on the 12th of February 1894, after [[Bluefields]] was invaded at night when the townspeople were asleep. The Nicaraguan seized the Miskitu government archives and government buildings. The occupying Nicaraguan troops proclaimed him and the Miskitu government rebels. Later, Robert Henry Clarence was restored after British intervention induced them to retire in 6th July 1894. He was deposed again after a second invasion, when all American and British residents were forcibly removed to [[Managua]] and the town of [[Bluefields]] was reduced to 500 residents on the 7th of August, 1894. The Chief was repeatedly petitioned by his countrymen to return to the [[Mosquito Coast|Miskitu Coast]] and resume his reign, being regarded by them throughout his exile as their "rightful King", and in whose favour at least three rebellions were mounted against the Nicaraguan government. |
