STATES TO ESTABLISH A PRO-
TEcToRATE OVER ALL OF CEN
TRIAL AMERICANA NEW coMpLI-
CATION HAS ARISEN.


l.ONDOEN, May d.
Senior Chrystano Medala. the Saliva
dorean minister here and at Paris. has
made the following statement to the
Associated Press regarding the negotia-
lions which have been conducted
through him as the representative of
Nicaragua, looking to settlement of
the dispute between Great Britain and
Nicaragua. He said:
ION the departure of General Bar
rios, the Nicaraguan envoy. from this
city for Nicaragua. the Nicaraguan le-
CATION was left In my charge pending
his return or the appointment of his
successor. In that capacity 1 trans
mitted to the foreign Office the various
proposals Of the Nicaraguan govern
ment. The Earl OF Kimberly, secretary
OF state for foreign affairs, has through
out been perfectly firm in his attitude,
ana IN my interviews with him my rep
reservations have always been treated
with considerate attention and cour-
lesy. The Earl OF Kimberly throughout
mas SHOWN anxiety to avoid a conflict
with the Central American republics,
but II being considered by the British
ministers in counsel to make a firm
stand, all efforts to move them have
failed. However, 1 am happy to eX-
press the belief that this unfortunate
dispute is on the eve OF settlement and
that In few days n definite reply will
be wired from the Nlcaraguan govern
ment In answer to a dispatch sent at Z
| o CLOCK yesterday evening TO Mauagua,
after my last interview with the Earl
| OF Kimberly. The Central American
| republics are all anxious to help Mica
ragua and have used every means In
their power to do SO. AS the represent
alive of Salvador. have offered the
| guarantee of my government to pay
the indemnity In London within fifteen
days after the evacuation of Corinto.
! Tho Earl Of Kimberly having accepted
! this arrangement, | 80 informed my
| government last night, and l have no
doubt the terms will meet the views OF
the Nicaraguan government"
A gentleman who took part In the
negotiations said to the Associated
Press;
at is felt by all concerned that Senior
Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister at
| Washington, Ia largely responsible for
the continuance of the Nicaraguar
question, as being of a sangulne TEN.
permanent, he led his government
astray."
Continuing, the gentleman said: an
would have been more satisfactory tC
any of the Central American republics
to have themselves paid the indemnity
rather than have been subjected to tn,
misrepresentation and distrust which
has appeared in the American and En-
ropean press during the past few days
There is no question about the Mon
roe doctrine being involved. In fact
the doctrine is obsolete. If England OF
any other power is unable to protec
the safety and rights Of its subjects il
Central America, they are unable t.
1rotect their interests anywhere,
England had tried to annex Corinto 4
would be a different matter but sh,
was only demanding reparation for In
suits offered to her subjects"
The Associated Press further learn
that the present government of Grea
Britain would not view with disfavor
United States protectorate over tn
whole of Central America. Indeed, dur
ing the present investigations the Ear
of Kimberly said that under ccrtni
circumstances 1t would perhaps be bel
ter for the United States to proclaim
protectorate over Central America an
make herself responsible for the action
of its people.
