Washington. April 7.-Secretary Morton
thinks the purpose of the English govern

which will soon be made for indemniflca-

Hatch, and 1T is believed the Royal Ar

cure the decentralization 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: ''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
blocked"

1.-The situation of the property had reach
ed a point where foreclosure was inevita-

fault: the system is in the hands Of re-
ceivers. The first installment CT the prin-
cipal will be due July l, 1896, and there is
10 possibility of this amount being had by
foreclosure.
This foreclosure does not prejudice the
government interest in any possible way.
The government can come into this case
and foreclose it Independently, but always
subject to the first mortgage. The time
has now come when Congress must either
act during the present session or the mat
ter has passed beyond legislative control
