 the United States.

London. April 29.-A Managua dispatch says At a late hour this evening Presi- dent Zelaya received a telegram from Washington stating that Great Britain would withdraw her ships from Corinto and give Nicaragua fifteen days in which to pay the $75000 smart money, if such proposition would be accepted by Nica- ragua.
 The dispatch also stated that so far as the remaining conditions in the ultmatum were concerned they should be so modi- fled as to meet the objections of Nica- ragua.
 It is understood that these propositions are the result of the efforts of the United States to bring about a settlement of the !. pending difficulty in a manner alike hon. orable to both countries. Upon the re- ceipt of the dispatsh President Zelaya at once held an audience with his principal advisers, and reply will probably be made within few hours. President Ze- lava, it is believed, will be disposed to accept the terms outlined in the dispatch. It will, however, require careful consider ation, owing to the intense hostility which exists against the British government and the willingness on the part of some of the people to continue the struggle in- definitely.
 Unofficial Statement of Our Position.
 Washington, April 29.-Secretary Her bert has ordered the United States gum boat Alert and the cruiser Atlanta to proceed without delay to San Juan del Sur and Greytown, Nicaragua, respec- . lively The secretary explicitly states that these vessels are sent to Nicaragua to protect American interests in the event of revolution, and not on any business connected with the situation at Corinto.
 flA o1i faf erp<y yar flf1an mi the trouble at Corinto is well understood, the first authoritative statement on the subject was not made until today. cabinet officer said this afternoon that the United States could not interfere be- tween Great Britain and Nicaragua Tn their matter of difference. Nicaragua was sovereign state, recognized as such by Great Britain and the United States, and must herself be responsible to Great Britain for offenses committed against British subjects.
 'The United States government" he said, does not undertake to extend protectorate over Central America and South America to such an extent that sovereign state of one or the other or these countries may insult another sover- eign nation with the expectation that this government will protect it from fore ible resentment by the nation insulted. Such principle has never been recog- nized by the United States, and if we attempt to assert it, we would secure the enmity of every nation having dealings with Central and South Amer ica."
 It is understood that the situation at Cornto has been relieved of much of it's tension by an intimation cabled by Am bassador Bayard that in case Nicaragua would guarantee the payment of the in demnity asked within fifteen days Great Britain would accede to a request of such extension of time.
 MT Warner Miller, president of the Nicaragua Canal company, had an inter- view today with Secretary of State Gresham and Secretary of the Navy Her bert.
 state and secretary of the navy" he said, afterwards, was for the purpose of in- forming them of the physical fieuration of the country on the proposed canal route, in order that the canal comms- sion may be assisted in facilitating it's work My experience in Nicaragua has enabled me to give information that will be valuable to the commission, and have offered to afford such assistance as in my power to make it's duties less afdu- ous. In attempting such a survey in a tropical jungle it is necessary to be pre- pared, and am here to help in that pres paration."
 MT. Miller said he did not care to talk about the political situation in Nicaragua because he was the representative of the canal company, which had the greatest interest at stake. He made the positive States would not permit Great Britain or any other country to undermine our interest in the canal property.
