HE occupation of Corinto a city on
the NIcaraeuan coast, by British
troops on Saturday caused consider.
able excitement throughout the Unit
Ell States, as there is cause for appre-
henslon that matters may be pushed
TO such an extent as to make it in
cumbent on this country to interfere.
Nicaragua has refused to pay the
sum demanded by the British govern
ment and the latter claims that CORN
to IS held as security for the payment
of what 1t calls its just demands.
Cornto IS separated from the main
land 10y a lagoon, communication
beng effected by means of bridges.
The island was abandoned by the Mic
araguans and all communication with
the main land had been discontinued.
Should the British troops attempt to
cross to the main land they will be
resisted and the bridges burned
Tins will mean war in which the
United States cannot honorably AVOID
taking part.
Eingland's past policy of acquiring
territory needed to preserve her com
merclal supremacy, leads people to
believe that her present movement is
conquest and not an effort to secure
payment of her demands. This is
but preteXt it Is thought to conceal
the larger purpose.
