England against our country. We can
only appeal to the reason, justice and I'M
partiality Of the civilized world.
England has acted against us with

London, April 25.-Rear Admiral Henry
L asNafa
in the harlJor of Corinto, Nicaragua, has
telegraphed TO the admiralty that other
war vessels are on their way to join his
fleet at Corinto, and that he is prepared to
land 400 bluejackets at daybreak to-mor-
row If the British demands are not com
piled with by midnight tonight. The war
ships are lying close to shore in order to
protect the landing party, which the ad-
mral says he VIII cover with twenty
nine guns.
United States Ambassador Bayard was
seen by a United Press reporter at the
United States embassy to-day and asked
his opinion as TO the Nicaraguan dispute.
Mr. Bayard said that personally he had
nothing to communicate. It was purely
a matter for adjustment on the other side
of the Atlantic. He thought, however,
that there had been great deal of manu-
factured excitement over the affair both
here and in America His own hope was
that the matter would soon be amicably
settled.
The st. James Gazette says: Nothing
is known at the United States embassy
regarding any request made by the Wash
ington government to Lord Kimberly for
delay on the part of Great Britain in TAX
ing action against Nicaragua 1t is un-
derstood that Great Britain and the
United States are agreed upon the course
to be pursued in enforcing compliance
with the British demand"
The Daily News correspondent in Paris
says: THE British ultimatum to Nicara-
qua is strongly approved here Frances
own relations to the South American re
publics have been very unsatisfactOry
lately. She has sent an ultimatum to Sar
Domingo and probably will send another
to Venezuela"
The Daily News will say tomorrow
''The United States are bound to be jeal-

republics of their continent. Nicaragua
evidently has been under the impression
