Washington, March 19.-The British
embassy has received no information as
vet to the ultimatum of Great Britain to
Nicaragua for the payment of S75,OOo
within seven weeks in redress for the eN-
pulsion of Mr.. Hatch, its consular agent,
from Bluefelds, and the dispatch of
British warship to back up the ultimatum
Under these circumstances it is thought
in official circles that the subject may be
haudled through the British authorities
in Nicaragua, although it is usual to ad-
wise the ambassador of a demand of
this moment.
General Barrios, the Nicaraguan en-
voy, who visited London and later came
here to confer with Secretary Gresham

further than what is said in the papers
from time to time. l am, of course, inter-
ested in the situation in Cuba. If the
revolutionists are able to hold out for a
year they will be able to secure material
assistance from persons in this country,
not only in the way of money, but in
men, in spite of all efforts to prevent it.
There are many men that are ready to go
into war for Cuba or any other war and
there will be no way of keeping them out
of it if the men who are doing this revolt
show that they command any such
lstrength at home. At first | was inclined
to view the uprising as without any par
ticular backing, but it appears now that
lit has grown quite formidable. Those
people are not to be blamed for rebelling.
1t is only question of time when Cuba
will throw off the Spanish yoke. 1t may
not be with this revolution, but it will
come with some future revolt" o..

The recent action Of Great Britain in
| Nicaragua and her course relating to
Venezuelan boundary dispute, was COM
mented upon by the senator in vigorous
terms.
"Of all the grasping, cormorant and
grabbing countries in the world" said he.
"Great Britain easily outstrips the most
greedy. 1t seems to be not generally
| known that the extensions below Egypt
have now made her master of Europe and
given her through connections with the
Cape of Good Hope. By these acts of
! aggression England has extended her
jurisdiction over thousands and thousands
| of square miles and her dominions have
been tremendously increased within q
year 1t has long been her fixed policy
| Senator Morgan expressed the nope
that Cuba might be annexed and said it
was a great mistake that San Domingo
was not purchased when we had an oppor-,
tunity. No such chance, he added, would
be neglected in the future when there were
offered islands in either ocean over when
we could exercise control and which were
properly part of the American contl-
mental system and necessary to the pro-
| lection of the commerce of our coasts.

ciically if he had been recalled, but de-
clned to answer. He was also specific
ally asked as to the closing of the state
department against him and made the
same response. 1t is now recalled that
Mr.. Thurston has not been at the depart
ment of state in person recently, al
though Mr.. Harlings, the secretary of his
legation, and the charge d'affaires DUR
'ng the absence of the minister, has been
a frequent visitor, though on diplomatic
errands, so far as can be ascertained.
I While it is doubtful if Secretary Gres-
ham has gone so far as to demand the
| recall of the minister, it is believed to be
| probable that he has at least allowed the
hint to reach the Hawaiian government
| through our minister, Mr. Willis, to the
effect that the relations between the state
department and Mr.. Thurston were not
entirely cordial, though there is good
grounds for the belief that the Hawaiian
government has not acted as yet upon
the point. At any rate the Hawaiian
newspapers up to March 5, which reached
Washington today, made no mention of
the reported rupture in any shape, and
while it is true that the Hawaiian gov
ernment may have observed secrecy as to
the receipt of such disagreeable piece of
news, still it would have beyond doubt
felt bound to make public an event of such
Importance as the recall of its principal
minister. Every effort made tonight to Sc
cure confirmation failed. Members of the
cabinet and diplomats and publicc men
who should be in a position to know if
action had been taken either disayowed all
knowledge on the subject or declined to
talk at all.
Bulletin-Chicago, March ia special
to the Daily News from Washington says:
Secretary Gresham has demanded the re-
call of l.. A. Tburston, the Hawaiian
minister at Washington. At the same
time the doors of the state department
have been closed against the representa-
tive Of the new republic and he has been
told that he must communicate in writing
with the prime minister of the Cleveland
administration by writing as the latter
declines to see him in person. The de-
mand for Minister Thurston's recall was
made February u. That day Secretary
Gresham requested Minister Willis to
formally communicate to the Hawaiian
minister of foreign affairs the fact that
Minister ThurstOn was persona non grata.
The communication was sent by mail
and has lately reached the new republic
and the news regarding its reception may
now be on an American steamer on the
way to San Francisco.
Gossips are conjecturing with another
rumor late this afternoon that the Spanish
ministers recall will be demanded. The
Spanish diplomatic offense is alleged to be
similar to Mr.. Thurstons. He gave an
interview TO the papers few days ago,
c1iticising Secretary Gresham. Natur-
ally there was commotlon among the
diplomats.

stitution. The total liabilities are about
81, 900, 600 and the creditors are In five classes.
The Virginia Trust Company, of which Mr.
Pace was also president, is preferred. His
son is a creditor of the third class in the
sum Of $4,000 In the fifth anu last class
are Northern creditors in sums ag~gregating
$780, 900. The bank is made absolutely Sc
cure and has plenty of currency to meet
all demands. Other banks have pledged any
assistance that may be needed. The direct
cause Of the failure is attributed to the
inability of friends, whose paper he held,
to meet their obligations. He has also been
unfortunate in cotton speculat.ons.
Mr.. Pace was looked upon as one OF the
wealthiest and most sold business men in
the city. The assignment was purposely
made on saturday afternoon in order that
the people might have Sunday to consider
the situation before the bank opened. Mr.:
Pace was interested, in many concerns, and
