SMART MONEY READY.
The Nicaraguans Raised S75, ,OOO by POpuIal
 Subscriptions.

Subscriptions.
 MANAGUA, Nicaragua. May 9.-There Is no longer any doubt that Great Britain will receive her smart money on time Tho E15, 900 to be paid by Nicaragua to Great Britain has been raised here by pop ular donations, Three German mercantile firms havo given about 42, GOO, and the who'e @ amount will be ready to be paid in London in a few days.
 The raising of the money, however. has only increased popular feeling in Nicara- eEa against Great Britain, and the feel ing is now very bittGT-indeed, moro so, If possible, than when the British landed at CCliLtn. The general opinion seems to Do that tIc Central American republics will form combination, possibly secret, against Great Britain. and that every thing possible will be done to exclude British goods from Central America.
 This feeling should result in commer- cial gain to the United States. There is no doubt, however, that the action of the three German firms in subscribing so lib erally to the indemnity fund will prove n good stroke of business for them.

guest in the house of her employer-who
at first did not understand Fe!icia's posi-

titled by the distant manner of her pa

The incident, occurring upon the
threshold of her new experience. struck
her unpleasantly. With her simple.
hearty, southern ideas, she could not
imagine arrival in a strange house
without some sort of a personal well

of that investigating gaze was to her
totally unknown. But, taking heart,
