Against Nicaragua Will Not Lead that
Power to Make Territorial Reprissis,
Her Colonial Possessions betng Already
Large Enough tn Sstisfy H~r-OnIy
Wants Proper Indemnity for Gross Ia.
dtgnittes Suffered. -
WASHINGTON. April 1.-The an
nounce ment Is made that Great Britain
will not seek, in her present contro-
versy with Nicaragua. TO acquire any
part Of the latter's territory. The i'm.
portance Of this declaration, of which
Secretary Gresham was advised Thurs
day, lies in the fact that the belief has
existed here for several weeks that
back Of Great Britain's claim for dam
ages against Nicaragua lay her rur.
pose Of taking forciblc possession Of
certain of Nicaragua's territory.
1t has been suggested that Grea,
Britain. in driving hard bargain
with Nicaragua. until her demands
were satisfied. would occupy such
parts Of her coast as would not only
give her a foothold there. but would
be menace to the Nicaraguan canal
when built.
Minister Bayard has been in con-
slant communication with the state
department for several months with
reference to the troubles between
Great Britain and Nicaragua on the
one hand and Great Britain and Ven
ezuela on the other hand. No dis.
patches in regard to Venezuela have
been received, however, for several
weeks.
II is authoritatively known that the
British minister Of foreign affairs has,
within the past forty eight hours. in
formed Mr.. Bayard that Great Britain
does not desire an inch of Nicaraguan
territory; that her colonial possessions
are already su fiiciently large To satisfy
her am bition, and that what she de-
sires Of Nicaragua is that proper in
demnity shall be paid to British Pro-
consul Hatch and other Of her iua.
jesty's subjects who were driven out
of Blucfields during the troubles in
the Mosquito reservation last autumn
Assurances have also been given
that while Great Britain will show an
earnest determination to collect that
indemnity. there is little, If any. prob.
ability that C,reytown will he bonn
barded by Il British fleet in the event
that Nicaragua shall be slow in com
plying with Great Britain's request.
That one or more British vessels will
be sent to Greytown there is little
doubt. but that any overt action will
follow their arrival at that point is
not expected.
