WHAT BRITAIN WILL DO.
Senator Morgan Thinks the Nicaraguan
Indemnity Must be Paid.

washington, April 7.-senator Nor
gan thinks the purpose of the British
government in sending a battleship to
the Nicaragua coast is to enforce the
demand which will probably be soon
made for indemnlflcation on account
OF the expulsion OF Consul Hatch, and
that If it is refused Royal Arthur will
take the matter in hand and secure the
decentralization by collecting the GUS
toms duties on Nicaraguan importa-
lions. In that event he thinks Near
agua's next course would be to con-
the admission of all importations free
OF duty. In conclusion he said; THE
other nations would never consent that
the exporters OF Nicaragua should pay
duty to England In the absence of Il
tariff in Nicaragua and Englands pol
Icy would be effectively blocked"
