Managua. Mica, May S, via Calves
ton.-The Nicaraguan government hav-
ing. through the Salvadorean minister
at London. accepted the modified ulti-
matum of the British government
the dispute between the two countries
Is practically ct an end. As stated
yesterday. orders were cabled from
London to Rear Admiral Stephenson,
directing him to evacuate the port to-
day. The warships presented a scene
Of orderly hustle this morning. giving
evidence that something out of the
usual course was going on. The boats
passed frequently between the shore
and the vessels; the little midshipman
In charge wearing an air of greater
Importance than usual.
The force originally landed by the
British to hold the place was 400 blue
Jackets and mariners. but on Friday,
when IL became known the tension had
been relaxed. all of them with the ex-
ception of IS marines and other off,
GERS were withdrawn. Shortly after
the flag denoting that religious SER
vices were in progress on board the
warships. was hauled down. the ma
rines, who had been drawn up I'm front
OF the custom house were ordered to
return To their ships. A few minutes
later the British flag was hauled down
from the government building and
soon the soil of Nicaragua was rid of
the British invaders and the long
strokes OF the sailors were sweeping
the heavy boats to the warships lying
in the harbor.
Hundreds of persons had assembled
along the shore to see the embarka-
tion Of the marines. and a cheer went
UP as soon as the noses of the boats
headed harborward. Warships were
soon riding at short cables. but their
departure was delayed by the tide,
which did not serve until after noon.
1t was expected the flagship would de-
part with the other vessels of the fleet,
but when the water was high enough
on the bar 10 permit the passage of
the vessels, only the Wild Swan and
the Safteilifes got under way, and with
the red ensign of Britain swapping In
the breeze. stood out to sea. The flag
ship Royal Arthur. paid out her cables
again and this fact was believed to
confirm the report that she would sa-
lutte the Nicaraguan flag when the
government repossessed itself of the
port.
As has been stated I'm these dispatch
es, Nicaragua has agreed to the pay
ment OF the $4,000 demanded by Great
Britain for the expulsion of Pro-Consul
Hatch and for other alleged damages
to British subjects arising from the
recent troubles i'm the Mosquito res
ervation, but instead of paying the
money at the cannon's mouth. as the
British government originally demand
ed should be done. she will pay 1t in
London Is days after the last vessel of
the British fleet withdraws from Cor
into. There are other questions of
damages TO British subjects TO be set
tied, but Nicaragua believes that IL
these questions are submitted to an
impartial commission judgment will be
rendered in her favor. Well authenti-
Gated reports. however. are that Chief
Clarence, the deposed ruler of the Mos
quito reservation. who is now In Kings
ton, Jamaica. is the recipient of f6 per
day from the British government. and
these reports do Aot tend to allay the
popular animosity against Great Brit
ain, II being held that she would not
take such an interest In Clarence IL she
did not have ulterior designs regarding
him. 1t is broadly stated that Great
chieftainship. but to do this now she
would have to despoil Nicaragua of the
territory formerly ruled over by him.
which a few days ago was incorpo-
rated as a state and named Zelaya. in
honor of President Zelaya of Nicar-
aqua In well-informed circles IL Is
not believed Great Britain will ever at
tempt to restore Clarence under the
present status. since. should she en-
deavor to do so, II Is thought the
United States would interfere in what
would practically amount to a confis-
cation OF territory.
There is much doubt here as to what
the exact attitude Of the government
at Washington has been during the
whole dispute. Many conflicting state
ments are made. some OF which are to
the effect that the United States, II her |
protested at all against the
occupation of Nicaraguan territory, did
so in a perfunctory manner; while. on
the other hand. IL is claimed IL was
due to their efforts. In a measure under |
their direction. that Senior Medina, the |
Salvadorean minister at London, took |
such n successful part in the negotia-
tons The action of San Salvador in |
guaranteeing the payment Of the in
as in fact her course through
out the whole dispute. Is very favor |
ably commented upon in official circles. |
and IL is believed an entente will be |
established that win lead to results |
beneficial 10 both countries IL would |
not be at all surprising II this trouble |
with Great Britain should result in the /
formation of an alliance between the /
Central American states for defensive |
purposes. There Is a strong belief here |
that Great Britain will never submit !,
any question that may arise between |
herself and the Central American /
states to arbitration. but she will her
self sit In judgment on the question. /
and then proceed by force OF arms 10
enforce her own decree.
