NICARAGUA'S CASE.
State Department Will Carefully Investi-
gate the Hatch Matter.

Washington, March 26.-Dr. GuZman,
the Nicaraguan minister, was at the
state department yesterday and the in
ference is he has been consulting Sec
retary Gresham respecting the British
ultimatum. 1t is evident the state de-
partment is deeply concerned in this
matter and statement from Ambassa-
dor Bayard explaining the purpose of
Great Britain is anXiously looked for.
1t is not believed the government can
object to the creation of a commission
of fair complexion to ascertain and fix
damages sustained by British subjects
in Nicaragua and the issue appears to
have narrowed down to the demand of
an indemnity of 1000 Cs375.000) for the
expulsion of Mr.. Hatch. the British con-
sular agent at Bluefields. 1t is felt here
that in the present depressed financial
condition of Nicaragua this is rather
an eXorbitant demand. but aside from
this there is already a disposition to
examine into the matter further and
ascertain whether the Nicaraguan gov
ernment did not act entirely within it's
rights in eXpelling the consular agent.
1t is felt at the state department that
1t will require the exercise of great eau
ton to safely determine upon line of
policy that will not lose for the United
States the respect of the smaller repub-
lies of this hemisphere and at the same
time " i'll not violate any of the princi-
pies of international law and equity.

JAPANESE ARE SORRY.
The Attack on Ii Hung Chang bitterly
Regretted.

Yokohama, March 26.-Resolutions
have been submitted to the Japanese
diet regretting the attack made upon
Viceroy Ii Hung Chang, who was shot
and wounded in the face Sunday at
Shimonoseki.
The bullet has not yet been extracted
from the face of Ii Hung Chang, but
the viceroy's condition is favorable; he
has no fever and Is suffering but little
pain. His assailant, who Is described
as a political bravo, rushed from the
crowd when Ii Hung Changs palan-
quin was passing, seized the carriers
hand and fired at the Chinese states
man. The bullet entered the viceroys
left cheek. The affair has caused the
greatest indignation here.
Ii Hung Chang's would-be assassin
is reported to be a lunatic. He has
criminal record and has served
term of imprisonment. 1t is generally
regarded in diplomatic circles that
shrewd old Ii Hung Chang will make
his wound the most costly one that was
ever given to a mortal being.
IF Ii does not make that pistol shot
worth $25,000000," said a diplomat to-
day, che is not the statesman L take
him for. He will want to shave fully
that much off the indemnity demand,
and his wound will become painful
every time Japan makes an exorbitant
demand. 1t is the best thing that has
happened for China since the war be-
gan"

Say Fair Died By Poison.

San Francisco. Cal, March 26.-The
publication of the alleged fact that the
late Millionaire James G.. Fair was be-
trothed to Miss Phoebe Couzins caused
widespread comment in this city and
no limited degree of surprise, but a
story printed In morning paper has
effectually eclipsed the betrothal affair
for sensationalism and general features.
The story is TO the effect that inslnua-
tions have been made by responsible par
ties that the late Mr., Fair did not suf-
fer natural death but that the end of
his life was brought about by the agen-
cy of certain parties who were desrous
that his death should take place at Il
certain time The story is quite gener-
ably believed In tlsis city,

TO SUCCEED MURUAGA
SPANIEL GOVERNMENT RE-
CALLS AMERICAN MINISTER.
Senior Dupuy do LONE Named As His
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Matter Being
Carefully Iavestigated-Houd Gives
Satisfaction.

Washington, March 26.-The organi-
zation of the new Spanish ministry,
formed late Saturday, is being watched
with interest by officials and diplomats
here, owing to the direct and speedy
effects it will have on affairs between
the United States and Spain. Official
advices received here say every mem
ber of it is conservative. This is direct
ly contrary to cable reports, saying
that five of the new ministers were lib
erals. The effect of this will be far more
sweeping in the change of officers, in
Guiding foreign ministers, and the
adoption of new policy on foreign and
domestic affairs.
Yesterday being the first day of the
new ministry a reply to the United
States on the Alliance affair was not
expected, nor had it come up at a late
hour. 1t is thought, however, to be one
of the first subjects which will engage
the ministry. The new ministry is rath-
er inclined to be belligerent in it's ten
dencies, that is, so far as can be judged
by the record of it's prior members.
The cable announcement from Madrid
that Senior Dupuy de LONE will be the
successor to Senior Muruaga as minis
ter to the United States it not yet Off
cially confirmed here. The statement is
generally credited. however. Senor de
LONE was the Spanish minister at
Washington three years ago, serving
only six months, and being succeeded
by Muruaga. He is conservative,
which, in part, led to his being succeed
cd by Senior Muruaga. a liberal
