The Adjustment with NiCaragua-The True
Solution.
Papers in the confidence Of tho Administra-
ton announce the conclusion OF negotiations
with Nicaragua on the following basis
"The treaty provides--lst, that the. Transit
route shall be kept open by Nicaragua I'D, that
if Nicaragua be unable to keep the route open,
and protect commerce and travel thereon sue
nav call upon the United States for aid, IN when
case the forces of the United States shall retire
ms soon rs the object is affected; and that, IN
case Nicaragua shall neglect to afford nrotection'
or to call upon the United STATES to do 1t, the
United States government may, IL IN It's JuuS
ment it be necessary, at any time, lanl armed
forces for tho protection Of the Transit. Thus
the treaty. as it stands, will enable the United
States to protect the Transit against NlcaraSunn
authorities and insurgents, as well us against III
busters"
If the aboys paragraph represent all the terms
of the new treaty, especially, ii it contain no re-
cognition of the European interference on tnG
Isthmus, we do not understand why 1t should
not be acceptable to this government 1t con-
cedes us the privilege of protecting our own IN
terests, which Is better guaranty than any con-
yentional obligation on the part oil Nicaragua
Whether the United States engage to respond 10
the call Of Nicaragua, without regard 10 CIR
cumstances, and whether they are authorized 10
interpose at their own discretion or must wait
the invitation of Nicaragua, are points upon
which the above abstract OF the treaty Is hoV
sufficiently clear and explicit. we presume
however, that the Executive would not pinu ehe
government by any obligation to employ It's lor-

martial protection Of American interests.
