landing of the British troops at Cor
into. Nicaragua, the abandonment of
the town by the native officials and
the population and the shrewd move
of the Nicaraguans In declaring Cor
into a closed port. DR.. Guzman, the
N~icaraguan minister here, received
two cablegrams from his govern
ment forwarded from San Juan del
Sur. the Nicaraguan cable port, about
125 miles south of Corinto. The first
stated that the British troops had
landed at Corinto and that the British
flag was flying over the town, which
had been deserted by the Nicaraguan
officials and the native Inhabitants.
The second cablegram showed that
the authorities had gone to San Juan
del Sur, cutting the wires connecting
the cable port with Corinto, so that
the British forces at the latter place
could not communicate with their
home government except by sending
a boat to the cable station. The main
body of the N~icaraguans who had
abandoned C6rlnto had crossed n
lagoon which separates the town from
the mainland and had strongly en-
trenched themselves.

Dispute, and Then Back Out mt the
Last Moment.

London. April 30. - The United
State attempted to adjust the pending
dispute between Great Britain and
Nicaragua. Ambassador Rayard,
acting under instructions from Wash
ington, represented to the British for
eign office that Nicaragua. IL 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
fl5.0O0 indemnity for the expulsion of
Consul Hatch. Lord Kimberly ac-
coded to this, and as it was presumed
that the state department at Wash
fngton was acting for Nicaragua it
was thought that the incident would
be closed without further complica-
tons. But as Nicaragua refused at
the last moment to a~cquiesce in this
arrangement, the original plan Of DC
cupying Corinto was carried out. 1t
is now believed here hat Nicaragua
secured the intermediatior of the
United State fer the sole purpose of
delay.
