UNITED STATES AND CENTRAL AMERICA
The Secretary of State and the British Minis.
ter, have entered upon arrangements in regard
to the Nicaragua Territory. The basis of an
arrangement has been agreed upon between
the parties aud the State of Costa RIGA admit.
ted as participation in the proposed treaty.
As this adjustment will materially affect the
rights and interests of Nicaragua, conditional
reservation is made for her sanction and ac-
quiescence. The protocol is prepared, and
will probably be signed during the present or
ensueing year. One of the principal causes of
difficulty in regard to Nicaragua, has proceed
ed from the fact that the existing government
there, has not authorized the Minister (hlr.
Marcoletta) at Washington. to treat definitely
conc erning the questions which are now in
volvsd. Some time ago, proposition was
suggested for confederation of union between
the republics of Nicaragua, Honduras and
San Salvador. No intelligence has been
received, authorizing the well.founded belief.
that the union will be formed, and the last ed.

We have already given an account of the

obtain charter for the establishment of free

will open anew the question of jurisdiction
over San Juan or Greytown, as it is called by
