DAVIS in London. The dispatch from
Wanaeua this morning which states
that revolution will follow in the re-
wblio if the indemnity is paid before

not doubted in some circles. The hos
tility against Great Britain since her
troops were landed at Corinto on Fri
day last gains rather than loses in ILL
l.osity. While quiet exists at Corinto
the remaining towns and cities in the
republic are reported to be in state OF
excitement. There is strong party 10
the republic known as the Grenada
party, led by former President OF the
republic, who is ambitious again of sue
ceeding to the chief magistracy. Any
surrender to the British government at
this time, which would be regarded as
derogatory to the national honor, would
so strengthen the opposition to the Ze-
laya administration that it might be
driven from power.

Some of the St. Asaph race course
people here to day say the newspaper
statements about their affairs are often
any thing else than strictly reliable.
Some of the horse owners at their track
did, they say, ask them to increase the
amount of their,stakes, but as the pres
ent amount was about as much as
could we'll be afforded, they were in
formed that their request would be
considered, but given no promise that
it would be granted.

Mr.J.C.Clemenls of Alexandria coun.
ty has charge OF the Addison property

construction of no part Of that road eX-
cept that at the intersection of 13l and
3 streets in this city has been begun,

Although the fact cannot be positive
" stated, owing to the impenetrabe
veil of mystery thrown about it by the
family, there is every reason to believe
that the marriage of ex Mayor Hugh ].
