Will Not Interfere With the
Occupation of Corinto.
RECOGNIZES FNGLAND's RIGHTS

Long as England Makes No Attempt
to Acquire Territory.

NHw YORK, April Pa special to the
Sun from Washington says: ''from the
most trustworthy sources it is learned
today that the president has again up
set the policy which Secretary Gresham
had outlined in dealing with the Nicara-
guam question, and has taken matters
practically in his own hands. There is
to be no protest on the part of the United
States against any action Great Britain
may take in enforcing her demands tor
the prompt payment of the SIS, 900 in
demnity called for for the expulsion of
her conSul-general, Mr.. Hatch, who Nj
caragua said had conspired to overthrow
the existing government, and Lord Kim
berly will practically carry out his plan,
which now seems certain to lead to COM
plications, and which may bring upon
the United States the serious question
of demanding the withdrawal of British
sailors and marines from Nicaraguan
territory.
"Mr. Gresham's carefully outlined
program was to prevent the landing of
troops, the seizure of the custom-house
and the cession of any land which Nj
caragua might be willing to transfer to
Great Britain in payment of the indem-
nifty. The president, however, has de-
eided that 80 long as England makes no
direct attempt to annex any part of
Nicaragua, this country will not interfere
with her purpose to receive prompt re-
paration for Hatch's expulsion.
! "Lord Kimberly's disavowal of any in
tention on Great Britain's part to ex-
tend territorial jurisdiction over any
part of Nicaragua, has satisfied the presi-
dent that she has every right to adopt
what methods she may please in coIlec-
ton of the payment, and while this as
surance was only of verbal nature, and
given to Ambassador Bayard at the time
of the landing of British sailors on the
Mosquito strip some months ago, there
is a general feeling that if she once lands
troops on Nicaraguan soil, she will most
probably remain there for longer time
than the president dreams of.
THE exact policy of the admlnistra-
ton toward Nicaragua has been some
what vague for months, but there is no
longer the slightest doubt as to it's atti
tude. No instructions have been cabled
to Ambassador Bayard asking that no
peremptory steps be taken by British
warships in enforcing the demand, and
none have been forwarded to the United
States minister at Nicaragua warning
him of the British purpose of occupying
Corinto. Minister Guzman, the Nicara
guam representative to this country
has been pacing the corridors of the state
department endeayoring to see Gresham
and secure through him Intervention on
the part of the United States. The min
lister has received information from his
government which tends to make him
extremely anxious of the outcome of
British Intentions this week. It is the
opinion here among both officials of the
state department and diplomats that
before the end of the week British sailors
and marines will be in possession of the
little commercial city of the republic
and that they will remain on shore un.
! til the money is forthcoming, or some
guarantee is given of it's payment"
