NO WAY BUT TO PAY
Nicaraguas Mistake in Trusting
to English Leniency.
THE PRESIDENT Is OPTIMISTIC
Diplomats All Agree That the Indem
nifty win BE Collected by Force
il Necessary.

Washington, April lS.-The impress
sion is growing here that President FOL
ava of Nicaragua has taken too OPP
timistic view of the state of relations
between Great Britain and his own
country in assuming that the former
has decided to desist from carrying out
her ultimatum to Nicaragua, and that
she will agree to allow the claim for in
demnity to go by arbitration.
1t is regarded as significant fact that
the Earl of Kimberly, the British for
eign minister, has just returned sud-
denly to London, and it is believed the
true explanation of the delay in action
is to be found in the fact that none of
the subordinates in the British foreign
office felt like assuming the RESPONSE
bility for action in the absence of the
earl.
DR.. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister
here, has not heard from his govern
ment as to Great Britains purpose,
but he is hourly expecting an answer
to his cable inquiry. From the delay in
answering he believes that the
Nicaraguan government is h.. yet unin-
formed as to the latest phases of the
situation, and 1t probably is in commu-
nication with its representative at Lon
don. Sir John Paunceforte, the British
ambassador, received no advices on the
subject today
While there is no official information
the diplomatic officials regard it as set
tied that Great Britain will proceed to
enforce her claim against Nicaragua by
moderate, but firm means. The impress
sion also prevails that with parliament
In session, the government would not
risk an appeal to that body by moderat-
ing or yielding to the proposals of
minor power.

The structure Of gold nuggets was
the subject Of paper recently read be-
fore the New South Wales Royal socie-
ty by Professor Liverbridge. Among
other facts stated was the popularity of
such nuggets, on being cut through or
sliced and polished and then etched by
chlorine water, of exhibiting well
marked crystalline structure closely re-
eembling the figures shown by most me-
tallic meteorites. On heating such mug
gets in a Bunsen burner blebs or blisters
form on both the polished and unpol-
ishod surfaces, and on still more strong
ly heating these in some cases burst
with sharp reports, and pieces of gold
are projected with considerable vio-
lence AS no explosions have been OBJ
served ON dissolving or eating away the
crusts of these blisters by chlorine wa
ter it is thought that the blebs may
probably be due to the evaporization of
some liquid or solid substance. Further,
in slicing some nuggets, scattered gran
ules Of quartz were met with inside, al
though quite invisible outside. AT first
IL was supposed that such explosions
might be due to the quartz, but the gas
in some instances continued TO issue
from the burst bleb-where the aper-
ture formed was small-and forced the

1t is rather surprising to be told that
sunshine is not always promoter OF

blessing in disguise. In experiments by
De Renzi guinea pigs inoculated with
tuberculosis died after "a to 80 days
when kept in glass boxes in the sun
shine, but survived only 90 to Al days
in Opaque wooden boxes. This makes it
evident that sunshine is material aid
in combating consumption. In later
investigation by DIR. Masella, however,
guinea pigs were inoculated with chol-
era and typhoid bacilli respectively,
when it was found that previous expos
ure to sunshine increased the suscepti-
