WASHINGTON. April c5.-The Nicn-
raguan minister here has received
cablegram from his government an
nouncing the arrival at Gorinto, MIC
arngua. OF two British warships, with
the expressed purpose of enforcing
the demands contained In the British
ultimatum. Just how this Is TO be
done the minister was not informed.
The indications now are that Nicara-
qua will offer a passive resistance TO
the British demands for some time at
icnst, and meanwhile the United States
will do nothing but wait the
development OF events unless the
British take some action that
affects our purely selfish intere SITS
such as interfering with our shipping
or other interests Of American cities.
This attitude is assumed In the full con-
fidence that no attempt will be made
by the British 10 secure any Nicara-
guam territory. no matter what course
she may be obliged topursue 10 accom-
plish her purpose OF collecting the
smart money" demanded for the ex-
pulsion OF Vice Consul Hatch.

WARRINGTON, April rs. The reports

understanding Is that the blockade

aragus the three full days Intervening

70 believe that the demands

the main purposes of England being TO

The maneuver viii probably be a

planned, care being taken To bring

however, that Nicaragua's coast com

aims pacific blockade may develop into
more forcible move in order TO make
IL effective.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassadors, has not been advised
by the home government as
TO the contemplated blockade and
landing of troops In Nicaragua
but in British circles this course has
been accepted as certain for some time.
Such assurances as Great Britain has
given to the United States have been
sent TO Ambassador Board in response

LONDON, April e5.--At the foreign
Office IL is officially stated that the
three British warships in the harbor of
Corinto, Nicaragua, are there for the

feet of the announcement made by the
chief justice at the opening of the
court ON the subject of the income tax.
This was generally understood TO
mean that the court would merely
listen 10 arguments on the motion
for rehearing OF the case and that
a reargument would be either denied
or set for some future day In May or
at the October term. Chief Justice
Fuller and the court meant, however,
