THE SHIPS ARE GONE.
The Evacuation of Corinto Quietly Accomp Yesterday-1hc Position of President
 Zelava Is Understood.

Washington. May 5.-According to ad- vices received here the evacuation of Corinto by the British fleet was quietly accomplished today and the port was re- stored to the Nicaraguan authorities. Shortly after midnight Saturday Minis ter Guzman received a cable message stating that all the preliminaries had been satisfactorily arranged with the British admiral through the intermedia- ton of Senor Fiallos of Honduras. In this manner Nicaragua was spared any humiliation, and any friction was avoided on both sides.
 Nicaragua will pay the indemnity in London within the two weeks stipulated and the remaining terms of the ultima tum will be satisfactorily arranged.
 The Nicaraguan people appear to thor oughly understand President Zelaya, who was man of great pluck and deter imitation. and they have approved his course in the matter. Published state ments that "howling mobs" were parad- ing the streets of Managua, Nicaragua, shouting death to Zelaya, appear to have had no foundation in fact. Zelaya is not the man to tolerate demonstrations of that kind. He himself headed revolu- tion two years ago which overthrow an obnoxious government in fifteen days. Within that time he fought three battles and captured the capital. He was chosen president of the constitutional commission, which was immediately or ganized, and has proved himself to be a wise and just ruler.

The course is a mile and a half, but after this event it will be reduced to mile and a quarter. As is usual on such occasions, an immense crowd will be present, it being taken as a half holiday by the Kentuckians in order to give all those who so desire an oppor- tunity of witnessing the great race. The field is free to the public. The Kentucky derby is one of the oldest derbys on American soil, and has never been won by a really poor horse, or, in horse phrase, a skater" and victory in It giVes the winner a place in the splendid line of horses that have finished first since 1875, and who generally give good accounts of themselves by winning other important and valuable stakes.
 Everything is suspicious for a success ful meeting; the city is full of horsemen and strangers, and the drives to the track and everything surrounding 1t are in the best of condition.
