alter the fact. As soon as the goods
were taken into the interior the Near
aguan forces would seize them and
either oonhscate them or compel the
payment of fresh duties and would be
perfectly justified in doing so.

Nicaragua can close that also or re-
peal her entire tariff law and allow
all goods to enter free Of duty She
could also declare an embargo ON inn
ports from all nations except those
whose goods she Is debarred by treaty

our goods, because our treaty with her

NO NEWS AT LONDON.

London, April 2s.-The following
semi-oaicial notice was issued this even
ing: Up to now nothing has been re-
ceived regarding the course OF events
In Nicaragua. No notification has been
received OF the landing OF blue Jackets,
as stated in the press dispatches. The
absence of Information Is believed to be
due to the fact that the telegraph lines
have been cut.
Up to this evening the admiralty is
without information. No anxiety Is
felt as to the outcome OF the Earl of
Kimberly's attitude. There Is not the
slightest doubt that Nicaragua Will
accede to the British demands. What
ever may be the pressure necessary to
bring about this result the government
will not hesitate to reply,
The Observer says that 1t is probable
that some Englishmen feel regret that
we have been forced to take stringent
measures against n remote little gov
eminent. The only consolation we
have is that we could not help our
selves. The truth appears to be that
the Nlcaraguan government Is thinking
quite as much about what would be
good for her as what would be best
for Nlcaraguans. Now that the ad-
mirars forces are in command at
Corinto 1t may be hoped that the Mica
raguan government will find Itself in a
position to make the concessions re-
quired by the ultimatum.

words. all diplomatic correspondence
relative to these states would practi-
cally be carried on through Washing

rass this government in the enforce
ment OF its own claims against these
countries. But IL Is not believed in
official circles that NicarG qua VIII car

lie sentiment in Nicaragua, 1t IL be-
llaved, has compelled President ZelayA
TO make a show OF resistance and to
issue his appeal to the world through

the seizure OF other ports or lombard

For the purpose OF learning the real
situation respecting affairs at Corintc
DIR. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister
sent telegram OF inquiry to his gov
eminent. Today dispatch has como
in reply from the minister of foreign
affairs at Managua confirming the re-
port that the British are in possession,
the dispatch saying: "Corinto is today
under the British nag"
The minister does not know whether
his government has declared Corlnto
n closed port but he Is OF the opinion
that such step has been resorted to.
DR.. GuZman made n negative reply
when asked whether he had any news
as to whether his government had
changed its attitude and taken any
steps to satisfy the demand set forth
in the British ultimatum. A reporter
read to the minister the protest against
the action OF the British made by Presi-
dent Zelaya through the Associated
Press yesterday. DR.. Guzman listened
intently but made no comment.

Costa Rica had volunteered to pay one

Is That Nicaragua Was Playing for
Time.

London, April 2s.-The United States
attempted to adjust the pending dis
pute between Great Britain ana Mica
ragua. Ambassador Bayard, acting
under instructions from Washington,
represented to the British government
that Nicaragua If given two weeks
additional time from the expiration Of
the three days fixed in the ultimatum
would meet Great Britain's demand for
the payment of $4,000 Indemnity for
the expulsion OF pro-Consul Hatch.
Lord Kimberly acceded TO this, and as
IL was presumed that the state depart
ment at Washington was acting for
Nicaragua 1t was thought the Incident
would be closed without further COM
plications. But as Nicaragua refused
at the last moment 20 acquiesce In this
nrrangement the plan of occupying
Corinto was carried out. 1t is now
believed here that Nlcaragut secured
the INTERPRETATION OF the United
States for the sole purpose Of delay.

He Says We Should Force England to
Do Right.


San Francisco. April Ex-Governor
James II. Budd, Democrat, in referring
to the Nicaraguan difficulty yesterday
said: "The United States should never
have allowed British marine TO set foot
on the Nicaraguan shore. In the be-
ginning we should have demanded that
England submit her claims to arbitra-
tlon, and we should have forced her
to do so. II diplomatic protests were
not needed there should have been
American marines In Corlnto to pre-
vent the invasion. The Monroe doc
trine expresses the policy OF the United
States as 1t does the sentiments of ats
people, and this Is violation of the
spirit of that doctrine. The landing of
the British troops is ,hc entering
wedge: the next demand Will be for n
territorial indemnity for some alleged
outrage. No European country can DO
permitted TO get into position to con-
troll the Nicaraguan canal, and II would
have saved trouble In the future II our
government had drawn the line there.
The nations should have been given
warning that the United States will
see that its weaker sister republics re-
ceive justice, and we should stand
jealousy on this ground, Let war
with the United States be the conse-
quence of aggression on this contl-
nent and there will be no aggressions."
