fHE BRITISH DEMANDS DEMANDS
Nicaragua Must Pay the Cash In
demnity Demanded.
TO CREATE A PACIFIC BLOCKADE.

Unless Nicaragua Yields at Once to the III
tinatun, British Troops win be Landed.
the Custom Houses viii be Occupied and
Duties Collected.
WASHINGTON, April e5.--Exact official
Information has been received ms to Great
Britain's belligerent steps in Nicaragua.
British troops are to be landed at Corlnto,
the custom houses are 10 be occupied by
the British forces, and British forces arc
to exercise the functions of collectors of
customs.
At tho same time Nicaragua local com
merce Is to be crippled by blockade. The
limit Of time allowed Nicaragua to yield
expires today and the blockade landing
of troops and seizure of customs is to be-
gin Immediately thereafter.
The understanding is that the blockade
will begin tomorrow unless Nicaragua
yields to the demands in every particular.
There is good reason to believe that the
demands will not be altered, reduced or
compromised in the slightest particular,
one of the main purposes of Great Britain
being to administer alesson to Nicaragua,
and indirectly to all southern republics as
to British methods of redress
The naneuvers will probably be a ''pa-
ciflc blockade as heretofore explained,
care being taken to bring Nicaragua com
mcree to standstill, and yet leave for
eign commerce as free rs ever. 1t is said,
however, that Nicaragua coast commerce
is very small, so that Great Britain's pa
ciflc blockade may develop into a more
forcible move in order to make ii effective.
AS to the landing of British marines at
Corinto, which is now understood to be
nf N ID at fnn hp nj
that this will not menace or endanger the
interests of the United States or other for
eigners.
There is good reason to believe that Mic
araguR is not likely to yield, but will al
low British troops to occupy Corinto in
order that conspicuous attention may be
drawn to what is regarded by Hcaragua
as an invasion of the Monroe doctrine.
Nicaragua's hopes now are almost entirely
centercd on Washington. 1t is not be-
lieved, however that DIR. Guzman has sue
oeeded as yet in eliciting the intervention
OF the United States.
Corinto is the heaviest import point in
Nicaragua. The imports there for 1Sol-92
were So, 006, S05 while all imports to other
points did not exceed 100000. 1t is evi.
dent from this why tho British chose Cor
into for their stroke. Almost one-half of
tho imports at Corinto are from Great
Britain, SO that the British seizure CT the
custom houses will result in their receiv-
ing the customs dues from British mer-
chant ships.
The British imports for 1912 were
g., ID! sol; those of the United States came
second, at 81, 497, $50; Germany, sl,042, 055;
France, $685. IA. The rest of the import
trade was with neighboring South and
Central American countries. AS the
Corinto imports average about 100000
monthly it would not take long for Great
Britain to appropriate the S75,00o indem-
nifty demanded.
