be indicated by Mr.. Bayard's dispatch,
is a new and interesting phase Of The
situation. The great interest Of PEOPLE
generally in the aspect Of the United
States in the Nicaragua trouble was
shown to-day by the complete exhaus-
ton of the pamphlet containing extracts
from the message Of President Monroe
enuociating his famous doctrine. The
edition delivered at the Department of
State to-day by the government print
log Office was of $50 copies only, but
by roon nearly all Of these had been
