bellious Republic-England Made No
Indemnity Concessions

WASHINGTON, May At is stated
that officials of the diplomatic corps, who
have been directly concerned in the Brit
ish Nicaragua -imbroglio, that a misappre-
hension exists as to the part taken by the
United States in bringing about a settle
ment.
Some recent cables to this country from
London have sought to convey the inn
preston that Senior Medina, the Saliva
dorean minister, effected the settlement.
1t is recognized as an established fact by
those familiar with the correspondence
that the good offices of the state depart
ment, eXerted in no uncertain way
through Ambassador Bayard, brought
about the agreement. 1t was deemed adj
visable, however. that Senior Medina
should be the medium of formal COM
munication.

Volunteer companies are forming through
out the country, and military aides are 60

has been reached with England. The
minor details are being arranged by Fore
eign Minister Matus and British Minister
Gosling. England has given some con-
cessions. but the amount of indemnity is
unchanged. Marines are already embark
ing at Corinto.

nounced this afternoon that the British
government has not yet received Mica
ragua's acquiescence in the British de-
mand. definite reply can hardly be ex-
pected for a few days.
