WARRINGTON, May g. = The followin,
oiiicial statement by the state departmen
may be regarded as ohronicling the pas
sage Of the acute phase Of the difficult
between Great Britain and Nicaragua
which, at ons time perhaps, threatened {,
involve the United States:
Great Britain has accepted the guaran
toe made by Salvador Of the payment o
the indemnity by Nicaragua In Londor
within q fortnight, and that as soon a.
Nicaragua conforms and so informs th'
British admiral. the admiral is instructed
70 leave Corinto."
IL cannot be doubted that Nicaragus
will promptly confirm the arrangements
and the British feet will leave Corinto as
soon as notice Of the action of the British
foreign Office can be communicated to
Admiral Stephenson, which. by the way.
might be sooner, had not the Nicaraguans
purposely interrupted the communication
by cable directly between the foreign
Office and the admiral.
The guarantee by Salvador of Nicara-
gua's indebtedness Is simply repayment Of
the favor extended to Salvador at the time
OF the Ezeta incident when DIR. Guzman,
the Nicaraguan minister at Washington,
took up the case Of Salvador by instruc-
tions OF his own government, and worked
90 hard to secure tho extradition OF the
refugee to Salvador, In addition to this
consideration, based on gratitude, the Sal
vadoreans are supposed to be influenced
In espousing the Nicaraguan cause by
feeling Of apprehension at the presence of
British troops. on Central American soil.

bringing about the long-expected revival
Of the union Of Central American repub-
Ncaps, the small repub lies now existing
having been --u

OF their inability to protect themselves in
conflict with any considerable power.
Although 1t may be safely assumed that
the acute phase of the Nicaraguan incl
dent has passed, supposing that there
should be no hostile collision before the
formal orders have reached the command
ers Of each side, there are yet some mat
ters to be adjusted before the incident can
be regarded as entirely closed. After the

counted on to do everything they can
without giving cause for an open rupture
to give their patronage In Che future to
Any Other Nation Than Great Britain.
Tho British diplomatic officers uni
formly follow the practice of keeping their
home government informed Of the state
Of public opinion in the country to which
they are accredited on any issue touching
that country as shown by public declare
tions and utteranoes Of leading news
papers, and 1t has been suggested that
the foreign offices. in the case Of Nicara-
qua may have been somewhat Influenced
in this last action In closing up the case,
or at least may have been hastened In Its
disposition by notice from the British am
bassador h9re Of the action on Wednesday
OF the New York state assembly.
1t was definitely developed when the
official announcement Of the agreement
was made that the United States had
taken very important part In the nego-
tiations within the last few days. A tele-
gram of instructions was sent to Mr. Bay.
ard Wednesday laying down positive line
OF action. Mr.. Bayard received these In
structions so late Wednesday that they
were undoubtedly communicated to the
foreign office yesterday. tits significant
coincidence, therefore, that Great Britain's
acceptance was given almost Immediately
after Mr.. Bayard carried out his tnstruc-
tions.
Previous to Wednesday the compromise
was being urged by the Salvadorean min.
lister in London, but his efforts seemed to
be ineffective; there was no certainty that
Great Britain would agree. 1t was this
doubt which led to the cable to Mr..
Bayard. He was directed to urge the
reasonableness Of the compromise PROPOSE
ton and to
Seek . speedy Acceptance.
The results proved that his offices were
more effective than those Of the Salvador.
can minister.
DIR. Guzman received the news from the
state department late In the day. II am
much gratifed with the result" said he,
''but now that 1t is all over, do not mind
saying that was quite apprehensive up
to the time the official message came from
Mr.. Bayard. There is no doubt that the
affair is ut an end, as no circumstance can
now intervene to prevent the execution OF
the agreement"
AS the interview closed, DR.. Guzman
said: "One thing I want to emphasize
and that Is my appreciation OF the con-
sideration shown me and my government
by the state department"
Dr. Guzman sent lengthy cable to his
government. informing them of Great
Britain's acceptance. 1t will be glad news

Quarantine Won't Be Raised.
