Great Britain Is Satisfied to Accept Mica
ragna's Guarantee and Withdraw tho
Troops From Corintu.
WAsuISGToY, d. O., May 2.--Ambas-
sador Bayard cabled late this afternoon
to the State Department that Great
Britain had decided to accept the guar
anteo of San Salvador for the payment
of the indemnity demanded from MIC
aragua, aud that SO soon asadvices were
received by the Foreign Office OF the
confirmation by Nicaragua OF tine Sal
vadorean guarantee the British forces
now in occupation Of Gorinto. under
Admiral Stephenson, would be with
drawn from the isthmus.
This news fully confirms the dis
patches of the past few days with re-
gard to the Nicaraguan incident. The
cablcgrams of this afternoon, stating
that the House of Commons had been
informed that the United States had not
interviewed ia the NicarGguan incident
were automatically and technically
correct. No formal notes with reference
to the British occupation of tho isthmus
have probably passed between our State
Department and the British ,Foreign
Office. While this is the fact, the good
Offices Of the United States, Informally
aud verbally through Ambassador
Bayard, have been steadily exercised TO
obviatc in the first place the necessity
for the landing Of the British naval forces
at Corinto, and afterwardsto make that
occupation rs short as possible, through
the acceptance by Great Britain of u
compromise which would meet her Just
demands, while at the same time it

tons show that the peach buds are in bad
shape, There may be half crop, or there
may be none at all. The fungus has done
its work and in many orchards so com
pletely that they will bear no peaches this
year.
Still the fatal work continues, yesterday
being Just the day for the fungus to thrive
The sky was clouded and the weather Just
bordering on fog, with the humidity in
tense. Occasionally the sun would show
itself and with the fungus on the buds
cause total collapse.
Many farmers and growers are blue and
they have reason to be so. Everything
looked so promising for full crop. The
chances of frost were meagre, but then
came the foggy weather with the fungus
and the trees show its effect. The buds are
black and wthered and even ends OF twigs
are dead. One glance at an orchard that
has been affected is enough. The trees
look dead and have every appearance of
having been through fire. Touch u limb
and hundreds OF buds fall to the ground
yesterday few twigs containing about 80
buds, and on those twigs there were but
two that had not been affected by the fun
gus and these two were peaches that had
reached considerable size, from which the
blossom had dropped.
= Prominent growers say that the fungus
is only fatal when the peach has not shed
its blossom, and such is the case at this
time, with possibly few exceptions, and
so few that ii will not increase the yield tC
any great extent.
There are orchards of 1000 trees in thi.
section, the owners of which would be
| glad to sell this years peach crop for $25

Col. Enoch Moore resigned his commits

that the growing duties of postmaster
made 1t impossible for him to attend to

The other members of the department
did not accept the resignation, but it is
likely they will do so when successor is
decided upon. Regret was expressed by
Mr. Moores colleagues, but the postmaster
said his action was tinal ana he would not
reconsider 1t.
