this morning Nicaragua authorized
Senior Medina, Salvadorian minister to:
London and Paris, acting Nicaraguan
minister in London, to accept the
modified ultimatum of Great Britain.
This modified ultimatum, it is under

interceSSion of the United States.
Senior Medina is also authorized by
the government of Nicaragua to pay
f15,000 in London, under protest, with.
in five days after the departure of
the British squadron from Corinto.
Orders for the evacuation of the
port Of Corinto by the British are to
be cabled to Admiral Stephenson to-
day, and it is thought probable that
he is already in possession of in
structions to that effect from Earl

SETTLED BY ARBITRATION. 2
+ Gable messages have been constant
ly passing and repassing during the
day between Senor Chrisanto Me-
dina and President Zelaya, Of Mic
aragua. In the first Of these mes
sages received early in the day from
Lord Kimberly, through Senor Me-
dina, the government of Great Brit
ain stated its terms of the modified
ultimatum. The terms of this ulti-
matum were at once aeeptced by the
Nicaraguan government, and word
to this effect was dispatched to Senior
Medina in London. AS an indication
of the belligerent feeling between the
Nicaraguan government. and Great
Britain it is worth mentioning that
Senor Faillos, the Honduran envoy,
sent last evening to Admiral Ste
phenson, commander of the. British
squadron here, for the purpose of act
ing mediator between the two coun-
tries, and was received this morning
with much courtesy on board the
flagship Royal Arthur. Senior Faillos
was informed by Admiral Stephenson
that he was expecting a cable from
Lord Kimberly in reference to the
settlement Of the issues with Mic
araguans. Admiral Stephenson ex-
pressed the hope that the terms of the
MODIFIED ULTTMATUM.
would be of such a nature as to al
low him to salute the Nicaraguan
flag when he departed with his squad
ron from Corinto. Another friendly
act on the part of Admiral Stephen
son which has given a vast deal of
satisfaction here was the voluntary
release of the Nicaraguan colonel who
had been imprisoned upon the charge
of using discourteous language to
some Of the officers and crew of the
British squadron. These charges were
stoutly denied by the Nicaraguansj
will do much toward allaying any ex4
listing bitterness.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Late to-
night Minister Guzman, of Nicaragua,
received a dispatch from his govern
ment notifying him that Nicaragua
had accepted the terms proposed for
the settlement of the dispute between
that country and Great Britain. This
information, the minister said, had
been also conveyed to Admiral Ste
phenson, and the warships are eX-
pected to leave at once. Minister GuZ-
man is greatly pleased with the re-
suit of the negotiation. He says that
he thinks the warships will leave
early tomorrow morning.
The greater portion Of the British
marines have already been re-em-
barked, and the rest will quickly fol-
low. Minister GuZman states that
Nicaragua is abundantly able to pay
the f15,000 demanded, and that it will
not be necessary for her to call upon
the guarantors in any way. Nothing
is said in Minister Guzman's dis
patches as to a riot or insurrection
being in progress, and it is not believed
that anything of the kind has occurred.
WASHINGTON, May At is stated
by officials of the diplomatic corps who
have been directly concerned in the
British-Nicaragua imbroglio that q
misapprehension exists as to the part
taken by the United States in bringing
about the agreement reached. Some
recent cables to this country from
London have sought to convey the i'm
preston that Senior Medina, the Saliva
dorean minister, effected the settle
ment 1t is recognized as an estab-
lished fact by those familiar with the
correspondence that the good offices
of the state department exerted in no
uncertain way through Ambassador
Bayard, brought about the agreement.
