This letter placed damper upon the warm
of poor Goicouria- He saw that there was not i
to be hoped for in that quarter in aid OF his n
island, and, as he says himself, 1t cannot be
dered wonderful that he paused, and did NOS Inc :.
ly start for England. He had an expedition d
prepared and fitted out in New Orleans, ants|
chartered the Ell Dorado steamship and other ",
to transport it to Nicaragua. But he was, a
same time, from some motive or other, coquett'I
as we have said-with Vanderbilt and Joe WI
the leading men of the old Transit Company
were to have provisioned and furnished his nes
Enforcement of thousand men. He himself mayf
had some object in view in relation to that y
coveted charter. However that was, one thi,
certain-that his delay in New York and his
ference in the affairs of the Transit Company
offence to Walker, who addressed him the folio
urt note on the subject

The receipt Of this missive annoyed Mr.. Colo.
very much. In his letter to Walker, acknowled
it, he said it had caused him much pain, becaui
did not see that Walker explained himself sat-
torily. He also announced that he would defe
departure for Europe until he received fresh o.
from Granada. These orders he received in TIL
lowing note:-
GENERAL WALKER TO GENERAL GoIc0URIA
GRANADA, Sept. a, 181

In response to this notification Goicouria
to Walker that he could not now in any way
tinue his connection with him. That was enc
for Walker. One Of the last arrivals from Nie
qua brought the notice OF General Henning
being gazetted to the rank Of Brigadier Gen
vice Goicoura, whose name was struck from
roll of the army. This gave rise to public exp
tons on the part Of Goicouria, and to disclos
and revelations which have led the public
something like q proper understanding of
Nicaraguan question. The complement Of
information needed we supply in this article.
DEGREES AFFECTING SLAVERY.
One Of Walkers acts, under the influence
Soule's advice, was to annul decree promulg
18th of April, 1924, by the federal Constit
Assembly, abolishing slavery and declaring
slave trade piracy. That act has been much {
mented on and unmeasuredly condemned; but
Squier, who knows more about Central Amer
affairs than any other American, asserts that 1t
not done for the purpose Of establishing slav
but that all the DEGREES Of the old federal Cong
were apnulled by Walker for the purpose Of get
id of the difficulties Of complicated and cor
dictory system. We bad ourselves taken the &
view Of the question before we saw Mr.. Squier's u
to the London Times. There was one set of Law
force passed by the federal Constituent Assembly
another-and in some respects contradictory 3
psssed by the republic, and this gave rise 70 END
difficulties, 10 put stop to which Walker with
troke Of his pen annulled all the old DEGREES.
THE POWERS FOR AND AGAINST WALKER.
We have not stopped in our running sketc
Walkers history in Nicaragua to notice the
campaign, "a which he defeated the forces of
Central American alliance at Massaya and Gran

party represent capital Of some six or seven
lions Of dollars, and the capital of the George
party may be set down at something like the d
figure. Both there parties are in Walkers favt
