WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-The admins
tration 10 not expecting serious com
plicAtions with Great Britain over the
question of Jurisdiction in the Mosqui.
TO territory. II 10 making preparation
for the maintenance Of American In
terests In that part Of the world, but II
has no suspicion that Great Britain
will resort to measures which will me-
esAsitate retaliatory action on the part
Of the United States
II IL not yet definitely understood At
the state department what Is the sig
nihcance of the hction of Great Britain
in refusing 70 recognize the sover'
eighty of Nicaragua ~ Bluehelds
Ambassador Bayard will shortly report
on that phase Of the question, and I'M
I'll something has been received from
him no action Of any kind will be
taken by the department But pend
ing this Il has been thought advisable
to get everything In readiness for
concentration of the naval vessels
within speaking distance Of Bluehelds,
In order that any representations
which the United States may be called
upon TO make may be backed by . for
midable show Of force.
II IL understood In q general way
that the purpose Of Great Britain in
insisting upon . continuance OF her
jusidiction In the Mosquito territory Is
70 insure q share in the determination
of the future control Of the Nicaragua
canal.
The long delay Of the United States
In taking advantage Of the oppor-
tunities offered for exclusive control
of the canal, beginning with the set
ting aside of the Freilinghuysen
treaty by President Cleveland,
has given Great Britain cause to
hope for a fortunate turn In
sffsirs which may put this new high
way Of ocean commerce Ia her power
70 keep company with thu Suez canal
She will, therefore, let no opportunity
alp which seems TO bring closer the
realization of her dream, but IL may be
years before she viii And herself In =
position to profit by keeping her hand
on the Mosquito territory.
It il not expected either at the state
or navy department that any overt act
will be committed by Great Britain 70
render United States interference nee
essary, but there will be an inter
change Of diplomatic courteSies.
The president Wednesday received
from Secretary Gresham, 1t Woodley,
an Official navy department memoran-
dunn, showing how completely the
navy IL in condition to meet an emer-
gency, either on the Atlantic or Pacific
coast of Central America. While II
Is explained that the memorandum
was prepared for the use Of the
president in his annual message,
without particular reference to the
Mosquito matter, il has been learned
upon unquestionAble authority that IL
relates solely to the announced deter
mination Of great Britain, communi-
Gated Tuesday TO Ambassador Bayard
In London, 10 frown upon the interior
ence of Nicaragua in the local munich
pal and domestic affairs of the inhAbit-
ants Of the Mosquito territory, though
fully recognising the sovereignty Of
Nicaragua In control Of the interna-
tionAl matters Of the Mosquito coast
The explanation offered at the state
department WA that the president was
given the information for use In con-
nsction with strong Recommendations
he intended TO make regarding Amsri-
can control Of any ship canal that may
be built Acroaa Central Amerios,
without special reference 10 NioarA-
