ENGLAND WILL GO AHEAD.
Intends to Collect Indemnity from the
Government OF Nicaragua.

London, April 18.-The ST. James Ga
zette, commenting upon the latest de-
velopments in the dispute between
There is a wonderful ignorance of
diplomacy on the part of the American
journalists. Why should we want tc
lombard Greytown? If Nicaragua has
been so foolish as to refuse to pay the
indemnity which, with the knowledge
of the United States, we demanded, we
shall take such steps as the American
government was perfectly aware OF at
the time of asking. The Monroe doc
trine has been a doctrine for sixty-two
years and has not been acted upon
yet. When Great Britain has serious
differences to settle with South Amer
lean republics it will not be prevented
from doing SO by anything but settled
international law.
New York, April IA special dis
patch from Washington says: There
was a conference at the state depart
ment last night by Secretary Gresham,
DR.. Gu2man, the Nicaraguan minister,
and a number of Spanish American
representatives, and although everyone
present declines to state what occurred
1t is almost certain that some reply
has been received here indicating Great
Britain's next step toward securing the
indemnity demanded for the expulsion
of the British consul from Nicaragua.
However, every official of the depart
ment has been warned against divulg-
ing further information with reference
to the Nicaraguan affair.""

Havana, Cuba, April 17.--Chagrin and
anger succeeded the premature election
of Capt..-Gen. Calleja over the supposed
capture of Jose Maceo. Maceo's double
was captured, but not Maceo. Antici-
pating unusual efforts to capture him.
the willy Cuban general donned a dis
guise and went to the front in COM

tured, while Maceo escaped to the
mountains with a few of his followers
1t is expected, however, that he will
be captured, as many small parties are
In pursuit of him.
At the head of one of the regiments Of
Cubans was Brig.-Gen. Crombet, who
died hero. His men, encouraged with
Inspiring words Of cheer, fought like
demons, but they were not we'll dis
ciplined. They were brave, but their
recklessness counted for naught when
opposed to Spain's regulars. On
Crombet's body, which was terribly
mutilated by his enemies, were found
papers giving names all the leaders
and estimates of the strength of the
revolutions.
Campos ship was sighted off Man
zanillo early yesterday morning. AS yet
1t is not known where Campos will
land. Loyal Spaniards say the war has
ended. @
Maxine Gomez. who has been in
Hayti enlisting recruits, landed near
Santiago with 600 men. He has gone
to the mountains and will attempt to

1t is probable that their united forces
will give the Spaniards one more bat
tie. Everything seems to indicate, how
ever, that defeat is staring the revolu-
tionists in the face and nothing but
miracle will now save Cuba from tho
domination of Spain.

INDEMNITY s15o.ooo,ooo GOLD.
Japan Has Now Reduced It's Demands

VIII ocCupy f'OFC tArJnur.
Washington, April 1S.-The Chinese
imperial edict is accepted among Off
cials and diplomats here as setting at
rest the conflicting reports as to final
terms of peace, and as showing that the
first reports via London were inaccur-
ate in their details. The indemnity of
100000, 900 taels is a compromise Japan
first demanded 300, 100000 taels, but, on
the solicitation Of Prince Lii, threw off
l00,OOO,O0O At the Chinese legation it
is stated that the tael varies in value,
but that the present value of the Gus.
toms on treasury tael, which is un-
doubtedly the one in which payment
will be made, is $3.50 in Mexican silver
OF about 70 cents in gold. This would
make the indemnity equal to $3OOOOO,-
600 Mexican silver or $3.50 200, 900 in gold.
The Mexican trade dollar is the current
coin Of China, and the basis of calcula-
ton, so that the belief is very strong,
though information on the subject is
lacking, that the payment will be in
silver.

WARNING TO RosEBERY.
Gresham Tells Him Great Britain Musy
Deal Cautiously with Nicaragua.


New York, April IA special from
Washington says: Minister Guzman
was closeted with Secretary Gresham
for some time last evening, discussing
the Nicaragua situation. If England
looks with favor upon Nicaragua's an
swer to her ultimatum there will be no
special anxiety, but if Lord Rosebery
regards the reply as unsatisfactory
a different and serious phase Of the
situation may and doubtless will arise.
From what can be learned from
trustworthy sources, Secretary Gresh-
am, through Ambassador Bayard, has
informed Great Britain that this coun-
try will not permit, without an earnest
protest, the bombardment of Greytown
and that the landing of British troops
on Nicaraguan soil will be viewed as
an act inimical to American interests.
1t Is said that Secretary Gresham con-
veyed the attitude of the administra-
ton on these points in earnest terms.
One story heard at the state depart-
ment was to the effect that Mr.. Bayard
was directed to inform Lord Rosebery
that firing upon Greytown or placing
an armed force on shore at that place
or at Corinto would be an infraction
of the Monroe doctrine.
ut is pointed out that Admiral
Meade's fleet has arrived at Colon and
Is near Greytown, and that the Mon
terey will reach Corinto about the time
the Royal Arthur anchors off the west
end of the proposed interoceanic canal.
Something may be heard from London
today which will clear up some of the
existing doubt and apprehension and
outline Englands intentions"

Britain Will Take Other Means to Col
lect the Indemnity.
London, April 1S.- 1t is stated on
good authority that the question of
protest upon the part of the United
States against. the bombardment Of
Greytown and the landing Of British
troops in Nicaragua has never been
raised between Great Britain and the
United States SO far as the British gov
ernment is aware. In any case, it is
added, the British will not lombard
Greytown in the event of Nicaragua re-
fusing to comply with the demands
Of Great Britain. But steps will be
taken to insure the payment of the in
demnity demanded by the British gov
ernment and the necessary orders have
been sent to commanders of British
warships. But the nature of the orders
sent to the British commanders and
whether they include the landing OF
troops is not stated.

VEST FOR FIRE SILVER.
Thinks the West and the South will

New York, April Ex-senator Vest,
talking on the issues of 1896, said: 1T
has been evident for a long time that
the radical difference of opinion on the
tariff and money questions between the
democrats of the northeast and the west
and south could not be compromised.
National conventions have equivocated
and straddled in order to get votes, but
the time has come when this is no longer
possible. Many leading democrats Of
the northeast advocate what they call
moderate tariff protection and the single
gold standard. We of the west and
south believe in tariff for revenue only
and the free coinage Of silver. We pro-
pose to frame a platform unequivocal
declaring our opinions and to nominate
for the presidency candidate about
whose loyalty to this platform there
can be no suspicion
