WAsnlSaroS. May s-The Nicara-
guam incident, growing out OF the
British occupation II Corinto, was
practically and happily settled yes'er-
day, seemingly through the good Of
fees Of the >alvadorean minister TO
Great Britain and France, who arriNrd
in London from Paris yesterday morn
ing and had an interview with Lord
Kimberly. the British foreign secretary.
II is understood that Ambassador lay
ard was present at the meeting. al
thong h the statement OF Sir Edward
Gray in the house Of commons yester-
dav that the United States had not
suggested terms for an amicable set
Element, would Indicate that Mr.. Bay
ard was only present as amicus curi@.
Tie conference between Lord Kim
berry and Minister Medina. the minis
ter from Salvador. resulted in def
mite arrangement Of terms for the set
Element Of the trouble at Cornto. the
substance Of which was immediately
cabled to Secretary Gresham by Mr.
Bayard.
In the dispatch Mr.. Bayard said that
Great Britain had accepted the guar.
an,ee made by Salvador o. the pay
ment of the indemnity Of S1,.50o de-
manded by Great Britain. the pay
ment 10 he made by Nicaragua in Lon
don within a fortnight, and the Brit
ish government agreeing that as soon
as Nicaragua confirmed this promise 10
pay and informed the British admiral
in charge of the naval force NJ CO.
rinto of that fact. the admiral
would he instructed 10 Withdraw not
only the force OF marines. which. un-
der command Of Capt French. now
hold possession Of the crstomhouse
and other government buildings al
Corinto. but also 10 remove his war
ships from the harbor.
The dispatch from Mr.. Bayard was
received at the state depart ment yes
terday afternoon by Assistant Secre-
tary Uhl. the acting secretary OF state
in the absence, through sickness. Of
Secretary Gresham. whom IL may be
recalled was also in charge Of affairs
when the Alliance incident occurred.
The president. in his country home
at Woodley, was promptly tclephoned
Of the receipt Of the intelligence that
a settlement of the Nicaragua diff
Guilty was in prospect. and Immediately
drove To the White House. where Mr.
Uhl joined him with copy Of the dis
patch.
Secretary Uhl declined last evening
10 discuss the settlement he would
not say whether or not the result had
been reached through the good offices
of the United States. nor would he
give any information about the mat
ter.
That the government of Salvador
had decided TO tender its good offices
in the controversy through Mr.. Me.
dina. its minister TO Great britain
and France. had been previously ex-
clusively stated in the United Press
| dispatches. instructions 10 this effect
were sent Mr.. Medina Wednesday. and
he must have hurried al once from
Paris to London. "a he arrived mt the
English capital yesterday morning.
That Salvador has guaranteed the
payment Of the smart money" de-
manded BY Great Britain, as seems TO
be indicated b. Mr. Bayari's Dispatch.
is new and interesting phase Of the
situation. Statements that the pay
ment was 10 be made through the
Bana OF Nicaragua and that an agree
ment had been reached on Tuesday
last are shown TO have been entirely
baseless. while the United Press dis.
patches Is TO the propositions made
through Minister Medina have been
confirmed in all essential particulars.
