WASHINGTON. April 5, 1885.
1t looks now as though the admiuis-
tralion had won very creditable di-
plomatic victory from Great Britain,
in that little affair Of Nicaragua. aud
that Great Britain had greatly mudi-
fled that bluff about boiubarding Me
aragua's seaports. Nothing official has
been gwen out ab at the diplomatic
correspondence on this matter within
the last few days, but there are good
reasons for stating that Ambassador
BaYard has been most positively as
sured bvthe British government that
ho.hnS VII be done in its dealings
with Nicaragua that can be properly
construed into Il violation of the Mon
roe doctrine This assurance was nat.
uraly very gratifying To President
Cleveland aud the other members of
the administration. II was saving
in a roundabout way that Great Brit
ain never really meant 10 carry cut
that bomharding threat and that II
was also in "A way Il recognition of the
Monroe doctrine. That this assurance
from Great Britain was the result Of
tue courageous position taken 10y the
administration as To the maintenance
of the Monroe doctriue i certain Aud
nothing was lost 10y the knowledge on
+ the part OF Great Britain, that the Uni

position assumed.
