A DISPATCH from London conveys
the gratifying intelligence that the
damages amounting to s75, 5OO.demanded
of Nicaragua by Great Britain were
paid there yesterday. Nicaragua, &C.
cording to the arrangement by which
the British warships abandoned the
harbor Of Corinto, had until May
20 to pay this indemnity, but in order
to close the incident at once, the money
was turned over to Great Britain yes.
terday. There are, however. other
claims of the latter government against
Nicaragua, but as they will TO settled
by arbitration, another armed occupa-
ton OF territory of that country is
not likely to occur, at least for the
present.

THE reports from Hawaii are of q
startling character. The Dole republic
is said to be on its last legs and an up
rising, that will place Princess Ksiu-
lsni on the throne, is expected at any
time. Ex Minister Thurston is reprea
scented as openly favoring such change
in the government, and many Ameri-
cans will, it is asserted, join in the
scheme. This transformation would be
heavy blow to the plans OF the an-
nexstionists in this country, but would,
at the same time, vindicste the wisdom
of the course Of President Cleveland in
the whole matter.

GENERAL CAMPos, the military COVER
nor OF Cuba, expects soon to put an end
to the rebellion there by making some
needed reforms, and it is said his plans
are approved by the homs governme Mt.
AS he has already suppressed one In
surrectlon there by similar methods,
the present uprising would indicat
either that his plans are not effective
enough to be permanent, or that the
Spanish government did not keep the
promises he made.

their ebullitions of temper that. 1t will
be very long time between drinks 50
far as they are concerned. Tho refusal
of Governor McCorkle to allow Virginia
troops to 60 into West Virgins in case
1t should be necessary to repress Law.
lessness has no doubt nettled Governor
O'Ferrall, although he has made no
public comments thereon.
His recent utteranoos concerning the
strike and the causes thereof have,
however, it appears, excited the ire Of
the governor of West Virginia, who
has forwarded to Wheeling paper q
communication in which he unhesitata
ingly condemns the use Of troops at
Pocahontas and Indignantly denies that
the miners Of West Virginia have ever
broken the peace or shown the least dis
position towards lawlessness. So conf.
dent Is he of this and 30 firm ia his
faith in the virtue and Innocence OF the
West Virginia miners that he does not
hesitate to denounce as false the re.
ports that the Virginia soldiers at
Pocahontas have been fred upon at
night by men from his State.
In his arior and enthusiasm TO, the
men and the cause he defends 80 yigor-
ously, he even goes further than this,
and boldly insinuates that the firing
was done in Virginia by people OF this
State, for reasons which he plainly
intimates. He says he has investigated
the matter thoroughly, and is convinced
that thore has never been the slightest
disposition on the part of West Vir-
GINA miners to disturb the peace. All
OF the rush and rattle of armed troops
to the scene of trouble he believes to
have been unnecessary, and, while he
does not do so directly, Governor OFFER
rails course is, by inference, subjected
to the most caustic criticism.
As to the merits OF the controversy
between the two governors, it is not
necessary to speak further than TO say
that the testimony of men we'll quali~
fed to judge and who have made care
full investigation OF the subject upon
the ground, is that but for the presence
Of troops at Pocshontas there would
have been trouble on the attempt to put
new men to work in the place of the
strikers. AS to what Governor OFFER
rail- has said about the strike, however,
some OF his friends think he has said a
good deal more than the situation and
the dignity OF his position as gov
ernor Of Virginia required.
Since Governor Nc Corkle has also en-.
tered the field as tslker, nothing now
remains to be done except to allow both
gentlemen free use of their tongues,
and hope that while they are firing
words at each other from long range,
the parties most interested, in an early
adjustment of the differences in the
Flat Top coal regions, will get together
and settle the matter anicably to the
satisfaction OF all concerned Indeed,
the prospects for such settlement are
already reported as frightening daily
and that the two governors at this late
day or OF all, in fact, should engage in
such profitless discussion as the pres
emit one, is to be sincerely regretted.
