NICARAGUA.
tcorrespcndence Of the Panama star,

Correspondence Of the Panapla star
TlHcrsrnc, iNIc. y June 1.-The American treaty has
become a tresome subject for me, nevertheless few
words about it may not be without interest to those of
your readers whose attention has been drawn to Central
American politics. The Ncsraguan Assembly has now
been in scson twenty days. but the treaty ratified by
that body in March has not yet been returned by the
President nor any disposition his part officially exhib
tcd to either sign return it. This is most rcinara
bic act inasmuch the constitution OF Nicaragua pro-
ydes that all legislative acts must be returned in ten days
at arthcst.
The majority Of the Assembly seem to be satisfied with
this high handed nsurpaton of power by President Mar.
tinez but certain of the conese members who supported
most adenty the treaty not disposed 10 be put by
arbitrarily and do not fear TO mnrmur openly against
it.
The tinidty of the Assembly may we'll bo Indicated
wien tell Won that Martinez keeps stationed in Managna
over four hundred soldiers commanded by his chosen
mynidons and these he makes no secret of stating he
will in Of their rcbellng against his tyrannical
mandates Such is the subscryicncy of tho Assembly
that they do not treat upon the most unmporant
subject without first seeking the disposition Of the Prcs
dent upon it,
pretty strong proof OF an approaching change is in
the fact OF the resignation Of three ministers
Martinez cabinet Grcgorio Juarez and Macaro Alvarez
Both found the dcspoc disposition Of Martinez nsup
portable md therefore up their position Juarcz M

anrcmens and has ever cen the friend and advocate Of

treaty Roeso Cortez the remaining member is friendly
