ENGLAND is SILENT
UNCLE SAM NOT NOTIFIED OF
KlMBERLEY'S REPLY

To tho Nicaraguan Observation-Disclosures
at n Standstll, But Steps Will Soon BE
Taken to Enforce the Demand, 1t Is
Said.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-No informa-
tion has been received here concerning
Lord Kimberly's reply to Nicaragua's
answer to the British ultimatum, but it
is believed that Great Britain will
shortly proceed to collect the claim
or debt, as it is viewed from the
British standpoint. The fact that
Great Britain's exercise Of force will
not be exerted SO as to effect the United
States interest is indicated by the fact
that neither the state department nor
Sir Julian Pauncefote have been noti-
fed of Lord Kimberly's response. 1t is
said such notification would be given it
United States interests were to be
Even Remotely Imperiled.
The British mode of action against
Nicaragua is believed to be a 'pacific
blockade" of all Nicaraguan ports, but
not interfering with the United States
or other commerce. The latest infor-
nation shows that Great Britain can at
once bring to bear the formidable fleets
for blockading purposes OH the Pacific
side and the other OH the Atlantic coast
of Nicaragua. Two fleets, 10 ships i'll
all, are variously disposed, but all could
be rendezvoused for demonstration of
force. The extent of the fleets indi-
Gates the preparations for emergencies
Great Britain always maintains.

NOT GROWERS IDEA
THE PRESIDENT CAN'T SHOULDER
OPINIONS OF HIS CABINET.

Me Is Much vexed by tho Interpretation
Put OH the Silver Letter OF Secretary
Morton--Nhcn Cleveland Has Anything
to Say He Says 1t on His Own Account.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The state
ment which Secretary j. Sterling Nor
ton gave to the press last week of his
views upon the financial question has
been interpreted by the press very gen.
orally as an utterance made on behalf
of the president and expressing the
presidents attitude. This inference
was based largely upon the circum-
stances that Secretary Morton made
public his statement so soon after his
return from the White House, where
he had been in conference with the
president and members of the
cabinet at the regular cabinet
meeting. The surmise, however,
has proven to be incorrect
by denials made by both President
Cleveland and Secretary Morton. The
presidents statement, which was given
to the Associated Press by Private Sec
retary Thurber, follows:
81 am in no manner responsible for
Mr.. Morton's interview and knew noth-
ing of it until l read it i'll the news
papers. When l have seen fit to say
anything to the people on the money
question, or any other subject, l have
thus far found it quite easy to do so
directly and Oh my own account"

New YORK, April 24.-The Ward
line steamer Niagara has arrived from
Cienfugos and Santiago, Cuba. 1t was
learned from one of the passengers that
very lively state of things existed at
the seat of war. The insurgents had q
following of 10000 men, 5000 Of whom
were well armed. Many encounters
have already taken place in which the
government troops had been worsted.
The officials made very light of these
engagements, the passenger said, and
claimed victory wherever they had
the slightest encounter with the in
surgents. The Spanish troops lately
arrived from Spain We're said to be in {,
wretched state, having suffered greatly
from yellow fever and from fatigue in
pursuing small bodies of the insurgent
troops over the mountains.
