A Mexican Paper Says the Recent

European Intrigue.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Worlds City
of Mexico special says: The Mexican
Financier says: "The downfall of the
Sacaza Government in Nicaragua appears
to have behind it an intrigue of foreign
interests hostile to the continuance of
American control in the Nicaragua ship
canal.
when the canal was begun, but little
attention was paid to il; but now that it
is likely TO be successful, European Gov
ernments Wish to have voice in its
control.
Minister GuZman, who represented the
late Government of President Sacaza at
Washington, favors an American protect
crate in Nicaragua, but it seems to US that
the moral influence of the United States in
Nicaragua is sufficient to maintain the
status quo. Americans will not permit the
successful revolutionists in Nicaragua to
adopt policy hostile not only to Ameri-
can but Mexican interests. If the new
Government in Nicaragua cancels the
canal company's concession there will be
serious trouble, and Sacaza may return 20
