WAsHINGToS, JAM 4.ITbe SIMON says it il
quite clear that the breaking up of Walkers expe-
dItion was the very result contemplated oy previ-
Gus instructions, though the mode of interruption
may have been in conflict with Paulding's instruc-
tions. 1t is not probable that his instructions
templated the l nding OF forces on Nicaraguan
soil. II is also not probable that the Administers
ton will complain OF the aggression.
The Union further g. ys that the policy OF the
President enunciated in his message r.lative to
Nicaragua will undoubtedly be pursued. The arti-
Gle throughout is initial as to the views OF
Paulding's course by the Administration.
