TO EVACUATE CORINTO.
Nicaragua Will Pay, and the
 British Will Get Out.
SALVADOR GOES AS SURETY FOR IT.

Terms Were at Once Accepted.
 WASHINGTON. May 3.-Tho Nicaraguan incident growing out of the British oo- cupation of CoriEto. was practically and happily settled seemingly through the good office Of the Salyadorean minister to Great Britain and Franco who arrived in London from Paris and had an inter view with Lord Kimberley, the British foreign secretary.
 It is understood that Ambassador Bay ard was present at this meeting, although the statement of Sir Edward Gray in the house of commons that the United States had not suggested terms for an amicable settlement would indicate that Mir. Bay ard was only present as amicus curiae.
 The conference between Lord Kimber ley and Mir. Medina, the minister from Sal vador, resulted in definite arrangement of terms for the settlement of the trouble at Corinto. the substance of which was immediately cabled to Secretary Gresham by Mir. Bayard. In the dispatch Mir. Bay ard said that Great Britain had accepted the guarantee made by Salvador of the payment of the indemnity of $77, 500 com manded by Great Britain, the payment to be made by Nicaragua in London within 0 fortnight. and the British government
 
 firmed this promise to pay and informed the British admiral in charge of the naval forces at Corinto of that fact the admiral would be instructed to withdraw not only the force of marines which, under com mand of Captain French, now holds pos session of tho custom house and other gov ernnent buildings at Corinto, but also to remove his wnrships from the harbor.
 Bayard Cables the News.
 The dispatch from Mir. Bayard was re- ceived at the state department by Assist ant Secretary Uhl, the acting secretary of state in the absence, through sickness, of Secretary Gresham, who, 1t may be recall ed, was also in charge of affairs when the Allianca incident occurred.
 Tho president. in his country home at Woodley, was promptly telephoned of the receipt of the intelligence that a settle ment of the Nicaraguan difficulty was in prospect and immediately drove to the White House where MT. Uhl joined him with copy of the dispatch.
 Secretary Uhl declined to discuss the settlement. He would not say whether or not tn" result had been reached through the good offices of the United States, nor would ho givo any information whatever about the matter
 That the government of Salvador had decided to tender its good offices in the controversy through Mir. Medina, its min ister to Great Britain and France, had been previously stated.
 Instructions to this effect were sent MT. Medina, and he must havo hurried at Onco from Paris to London as he arrived nt tho English capital Thursday. That Salvador has guaranteed the payment of the smart money demanded by Great Britain. as seemed to be indicated by Mir. Bayard's dispatch, is n new and interest ing phase of the situation.
 It cannot be doubted that Nicaragua will promptly confirm the arrangement. and the British fleet will leave CorInto al soon ns notice of tho action of the British foreign office can be communicated to Ad miral Stephenson. which, by the way. might be sooner had not the Sicaraguanl purposely interrupted the communication by cable directly between the foreign office and the admiral.
 San Salvador Is Grateful.
 The guarantee by Salvador of Nicara gua's indebtedness is simply repayment of the favor extended to Salvador by Mic aragua at the time of the EZeta incident when Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan min ister at Washington, took up the case o Salvador by instructions of his own gov ernment and worked so hard to secure thG extradition 0! tho refugee to Salvador. In addition to this consideration, based on gratitude, the Salvadoreans arc sup posed to bo influenced in espousing tho Nicaraguan cause by feeling of appre hension at the presence of British troopi on Central American soil. It is quit' l certain that all of tho countries of Cen | tral America have bccn deeply impressed ~n.. the Nicaraguan incident may perhaps b, the direct means of bringing about agair the long expected revival of the union 0 | Central American republics, the smHl l republics now existing having bceI l brought to a realization of their inabilit! tu protect themselves in conflict witl any considerable power.
 Althr;. sh it may be safely assumed tha the acute phase of the Sicaraguan inci dent has passed. supposing that ther 1 should ho no hostile collision before th l formal orders have reached the command CTS of each side, there arc yet some mat ters to be adjusted before tho incident cal be regarded as entirely closed. After tn settlement of tho smart money olain on account of the treatment of Hatch ! commission must be selected and procoe' to adjudicate the claims of other Britis l suDICCtS uOb OlIlCldls, "uO "OFS oApSllS from Bluofelds at the time of the out break last summer, and if this cOmmiG sion assesses damages against Nicaragu on this score there may be some grunl bling before the account is settled.
 This Is not likely to lead to seriou trouble. but the Nicaraguans. smartin under the sense of oppression in this caS (fur they declare that Hatch never had a | exequateur and so was never recognize by them as British Official), may counted on to do everything they ca without giving cause for an open ruptuI to give their patronage in the future any other nation than Great Britain.
 Bayard Had His Instructions
 It was definitely developed when th official announcement of the agreemer was made that the United States had tah en a very important part in the negotil tions within the last a4 hours. A cable gram of instructions was sent te Mir. BaJ ard laying down a positive line of aotioE Mir. Bayard received these instructions ( late on Wednesday that they were uI doubtedly communicated to the fOreig office on Thursday. It is a signincar coincident, therefore that Great Britain acceptance was given almost immediatel after Mir. bAyard carried out his instru tions. Previous to Wednesday the con promise was being urged by the SAlvadC rean minister in London. but his effVr seemed to be ineffective, and there was T certainty that Great Britain would agres It was this doubt which led to the cab Co Mr. Bayard He was directed to urf the reasonableness of the comprolnis proposition and to seek speedy accsptance The results proved that his offices wer more effective than those of the SalvadC rean minister.
 Dr. Guzman. the Sicaraguan miniGte here. received the news from the state dt partment late in tho day.
 II am much gratifod with the result. said he, but now that 1t is all over don't mind saying was quite apprsher sive up to the time the official msssaG
