the present nil sirn at Lurdon ut Gen
eral Modesto Barrios, the Nit aiaguan
special Commissioner, have AROUSED
fresh interest here.
Briefly expressed, the recognition Il
the complete sovereignty of Nicaragua
i'm the Mosquito reservation is the policy
which has been agreed upon. Neither
Chief Clarence nor his successors in any
event are regarded as having any au-
thority or rights separate from or indie
pendent of the national control. Near
aqua is considered the only treaty power
in the strip and the sole power Of gov
eminent there. With her all relations
concerning American interests in the
reservation are to be had, and Clarence
and his advisers are to be treated as
purely local authorities, subordinate to
and under the constant restriction OF
Nicaragua in all matters. For all acts
OF omission or commission with respect
/ to Americans and their interests in the
strip, Nicaragua is to be held RESPONSE
| bic. The contracts and concessions now
| in force with Americans in the rcscrva-
are to be upheld, and the national Gov
ernment is expected to respect the same
and to take such steps as may be neces-
sary to their maintenance.
To the greatest extent with inter-
national courtesy, Nicaragua is to be
urged to sanction by law or proclama
the freedom of religion which now
obtains in the reservation. An effort
will also be made to induce Nicaragua
to give guarantee that no excessive on
unusual taxes will be levied. Relative
to the grants and concessions now had
by Americans in the reservation,
Nicaragua has been informed that this
country regards them as binding on tn,
national Government. They are con.
sidered in each instance as contract
: so to speak. voidable, but not void un
der the new arrangement. They are to bt
kept in force, except when by mutua
agreement they become no longer oper
I alive. Whenever, for any reason, tn,
= concession is withdrawn by Nicaragua

HOSTILE TO ENGLAND.
The Probable Attitude of Germany and
France


New YORK, Aug. 90. George W.
Smally cables the following tn the Tri-
buHe from London: Englishmen who
believed, nr made believe that German
hostility to England had its origin with
Prince Bismarck, are finding out their
mistake. The German attitude on the
Congo treaty may have opened some
eyes. The new German attitude to
ward France may open more. There is
in truth and has long been. a strong
party in Germany strongly infused
with jealous dislike of England. The
German colonies, SO called, are import
ant, but not the only element of this
party, but just now the Colonials have
had and have improved an opportunity
of showing what their true feeling is
French public opinion is appealed to.
There is believed to be a growing ten
dency in France to do justice to the
German Emperor's generosity and to
the desire of the German people to be
good neighbors to France.
Ii this means anything it means that
France and Germany may find in their
common hatred OF England a means Of
improving their mutual relations. II
such a line is to be followed there is nc
saying where it may lead. 1t raises in q
new form the whole question of the
Triple Alliance and OF England's benev-
client neutrality to powers bound to,
gether by that alliance. 1t may, indeed
be meant merely to show that the Ger
man Emperor's recent visit to the Queer
at Osborne had no political significance
