New York, May 2.-The Nicaraguan incident growing out of the British oc- cupation of Corinto, was practically and happily settled today, seemingly through the good offices of the Salvadorean min ister to Great Britain and France, who arrived in London from Paris this morn ing and had an interview with Lord Kimberly the British foreign secretary. It is understood that Ambassador Bay ard was present at the meeting, although the statement of Sir Edward Grey in the house of commons today that the United States had not suggested terms for an amicable settlement would indicate that MT. Bayard was only present as amicus curia.
 The conference between Lord Kimberly and MT. Medina, the minister from Sa Vador resulted in definite arrangement of terms for the settlement of the trouble at Corinto, the substance of which was immediately cabled to Secretary Gres- ham by MT. Bayard.
 In the dispatch MT. BayarL said that Great Britain had accepted the guaran- tee made by Salvador for the payment of the indemnity of SIT, 300 demanded by Great Britain, the payment to be made by Nicaragua In London within a fort night, and the British government agree ing that as soon as Nicaragua confirmed this promise to pay and informed the British admiral in charge of the naval force at Corinto of the fact, the admiral would be instructed to withdraw, not only the force of marines, which, under command of Captain French, now hold possession of the custom house and other government buildings at Corinto, but also to remove his warships from the harbor.
 The dispatch from Mr. Bayard was re- onfx 1e,fo 1<rN tI.;.. noon by Assistant Secretary Uhl, the acting secretary of state in the absence, through sickness, of Secretary Gresham. The president in his country home at Woody was promptly telephoned of the receipt of the intelligence that settle ment of the Nicaraguan difficulty was in prospect and immediately drove to the White House, where MT. Uhl joined him with copy of the dispatch. Secretary Uhl declined this evening to discuss the settlement. He would not say whether or not the result had been reached through the good offices of the United States, nor would he give any informa- ton of the matter.
 That the government of Salvador had decided to tender it's good offices in the controversy through MT. Medina, it's min- ister to Great Britain and France, had been previously and exclusively stated in these dispatches. Instructions to this effect were sent MT. Medina yesterday and he must have hurried at once from Paris to London, as he arrived at the Err glish capital this morning. That Saliva dor guaranteed the payment of the smart money" demanded by Great Britain, as seems to be indicated by MT. Bayard's dispatch, is new and interest ing phase of the situation.
 The great interest of people generally in the United States in respect to the Mic aragua trouble was shown today by the complete exhaustion of the pamphlet containing extracts from the message of President Monroe enunciating his fa- nous doctrine. The edition delivered at the department of state yesterday by tha government printing office was of 25O copies only, but by noon nearly all of these had been given to persons who ap- piled personally for them. number of telegrams and letters were also received requesting the pamphlet, and In antici- patton of greater demand another and larger edition has been ordered, which will be delivered at the department to- mOrroyV
