The relations between England and the United States
assume more and dark aspect. Lies

CHAMPION, Minister from England, has affirmed that Mr..
Clayton the author OF the treaty in relation Central
America, had positively recognized the sovereignty
England over tho island of Ruatan In the Senate of tn

had declared that there has been question recog

Of those assertions, entirely contradictory there is
opinion to be given.
Another very subject of dissent preparing bo
tween the two governments IL said that the admins
Grafton of the United Estates intend to recognize the
government of Walker, in Nicaragua, although that
country has official representative the United
States This representative has already protested against
that intention.
We perceive that this has created great sensa
ton in England and that the relations between the two
governments appear to be quite alarming.
from the Independence Beige, May 81
To recognize Walker is to proclaim the annexation Of
al the small American republics which separate the At
lantic from the Pacific. At given moment tho United
States would be the sovereign and absolute master of the
