OcT 4. 1858.
Senior Jerez, Minister from Nicaragua, had an
interview again to-day with the Secretary OF State
He has dsavowed, in the fullest manner, the lnten
ton of his government to insult or give offence to
the United States in the Belly negotiations, or in
language used with respect to the government or
people of this Republic.
General Herran, New Granadian Minister, and
Senior Pombo, Secretary of Legation, arrived here
tonight from New York. General Herran left
Washington few days ago, having, as it was I'M
derstood arranged his affairs to be absent some
time. 1t is thought his presence is requiredby the
State Department.
1t is said that Commodore Shubrick in command
of the Paraguay expedition, has an understanding
with the Navy Department to return in some months
to be at the head of Light House Board.
1t is thought that Lieutenant Mafit, being disap-
pointed in not going to Paraguay in command of
the Dolphin, in consequence of the trial of the cap
tain of the captured SLAYER, and for his conduct in
making that capture, will be sent to st. Domingo
to look after affairs there.
1t is the opinion of many naval men here that it
is not safe to send the Paraguay expedition without
larger marine or land force than is ordered.
