Great Britain will receive her smart
money on time. The $4,000 to be paid
by Nicaragua to Great Britain has been
raised by popular donations. Three Ger
man mercantile firms have given about
$4,000, and the whole amount will be
ready TO be paid in London in n few days.
The raising of the money. however, has
only increased popular feeling in Nicara-
qua against Great Britain, and the feeling
is now very bitter indeed, more so. if
possible, than when the British landed

be that the Central American republics

cial gain to the United States There is
no doubt, however, that the action of the

The fault lies with the post Office at San

to Thurston is confined to n single trans
action. The offense alleged is that Thurs
ton, at the legation, showed TO reporters
private letters to himself from Honolulu.
Gresham spoke 10 the Hawaiian minister
about the matter. Thurston said that he
regretted it very much: that in the hurry
of handling big mail he had shown this
letter with others without any special in
tent. Secretary Gresham thereupOn ask
Ell that the apology be submitted in writ
ing. ThurstOn declined 10 do this.
Gresham's letter is dated Feb. u last,
and states that Thurston is no longer
personally acceptable to the administra-
ton at Washington as Hawaiian minis
ter. 1t Is definitely settled that Thurston
