SICARAGUA'S REPLY
To Grca. Britain's Uitimatum is In tho

To Grcat Britnin's Uitimatum is In tho
Nature of n Countcr-Proposal.
WASHINGTON, April l5.-It is author
itativcly stated that Nicaragua has made
a reply to Great Britip's ultimasum.
It is in the nature ofa counter.proposal
aud not direct acceptance or rejection
Of the British demands, and as such it
is not vet known whether Grcat Britain
viii accept it rs responsive to the ulti-
matum. The ultimatum made three
demands, as follows:
First-A money indemnity OF els, 500
sterling for alleged personal injuries to
British subjects, including tho British
consul, Hatch.
Second-Reverberati OF the decla-
ration OF bauishment against British
subjects.
Third-Formation OF a commission to
decide by arbitration tho damage done
property OF tho British subjects expell-
ed from Nicaragua.
The ultimatum contained no Emit OF
time, but in subsequent official note
Earl Kimberly stated the transfer to
tho ultimatum would be expected with
in seven wccks OF February 26. Tho
seven week arc up tomorrow. Nicara-
gua's answer is in two parts. To the
second demand it says that Nicaragua
even before receiving the British COM
munication had revoked the decree Of
Punishment.
To tho first and third demands the
answer is that in order to preserve the
friendly relations with her majosty's
government. and for the purposes OF
fairness nnd justice. Nicaragua pro.
poses that all questions OF payment for
personal injury, injury to property,
utc., DO referred to an impartial COM
mission OF arbitration.
The foregoing is regarded rs most
diplomatic answer, rs it comedies Mes
ragua's Willingness to adjust tho differ
encoa. aud yet courlcously suggests that
tho Gl5, 800 demand is IN OK parto esti.
matc. und that tho whole question OF
amount Of damages should DO left to
arbitration.

UNIQUE CHALLENGE.

ALICE ANoRY.

C. T. q. Take Issue.
The Freethinkers' hall, Dallas, was
inadequate to conveniently hold those
who listened to Johu r. Chalesworth's
infidel lecture the other night. and it
was the OCCASION of one of the most
unique challenges upon record. The lee
ture WAS entitled. SIS There God2"
The speaker claimed that while there
might be ono there was no actual evil
donce to prove it.
He went over the ground from the
earliest histories ard records to the pres
ent day and claimed that in the econ
omy OF nature there was no necessity
for God. At the conclusion of tho lee
ture, Mrs Sweeney, president of tho
Dallas w. @. II. u, arose and asked the
lecturer if hc would give her his name
that she might pray for him, and if he
felt his heart touched he WAS to make as
public an admission of the fact as he
had of his unbelief i'll Deity.
Secretary Pagct of the Frcethinkers'
society arose and asked Mrs Sweeney if
she would accept his name, that he, Like
the lecturer. doubted the existence of
Jehovah. All no stipulated for was a
time limit, He did not want 10 wait till
he WAS dead, rs they might shy he made
u deathbcd recantatiOn The time limit
was set at three months.
Mr.. Pagct further stipulated that, if at
tho cnd OF tho three months he and Mr..
Chalcsworth or either Of them had not
made Il public confession, Mrs Sweeney
is to admit that there is 10 efficacy in
prayer, that God is q failurc and docs
not exist To this Mrs. Sweeney agreed,
