nifty Morton Suggests a Plan

Washington, April 7.-secretary Morton
thinks the purpose of the English govern
ment in sending battle ship to the Nicar-
aguan coast Is to enforce the demand
which will soon be made for tndemnifica-
ton, on account Of the expulsion of Consul
Hatch, and 1t is believed the Royal Ar
thur will take the matter in hand and Sc
cure the indemnidcation by collecting the
customs duties on Nicaraguan imports.
In that event he thinks Nicaragua's wis
est course would be to convene her con-
gress and pass law for the admission Of
all importations free Of duty. In conclu-
sion, he said: 1.-THE other nations would
never consent that their exporters to Nj
caragua should pay duty to England IN
the absence of a tariff In Nicaragua, and
England's policy would be effectively
