ment Of debts to British subjects there.
An occupation said to be temporary,
with disclaimers Of any purpose to
assume permanent protectoratc, has
lasted for years. and has given Great
Britain n great strategic foothold there
The suggestion OF this precedent perhaps
the sooner comes to mind from the fact that
as the Suez Canal runs through Egypt, so
the other great interoceanic canal will run
through Nicaragua. The assurances given
by Great Britain that she has no intention of
trying to revive her claim to q protectorate
over the Mosquito Reserve, or to gain terri
torial foothold there, are emphatic. But
occupation Of territory there as security for
the payment of debts would be n very seri-
Gus matter; and we have very recently seen
how Franco proposed to collect her claims
upon San Domingo by the seizure OF Custom
House receipts, while the apprchensions OF
both British and German compulsion, to bc
exercised upon Venezuela, cannot be con
sidered as wholly unfoundcd.
The British ultimatum to Nicaragua does
not intimate doubt that its terms will be
accepted. But the grave question concerns
the means which Great Britain would en-
ploy to enforce her demands, should Mica
ragla, believing them to he unjust, refuse
to comply with them.

We assure the San Francisco Post that
the California clarst ordinarily consumed in
New York is not retailed at 81 bottle. but that
plenty Of 1t can bo bought at ne.quarter that
price, even under the advance made by the new
California wine syndicate.
The Post alleges that most of the California
clarets sent to Now York are mixed with for
eign ingredients after they arrive hero: but wo
are unwilling to believe this. No one here need
have any difficulty in getting tho wine in the
samo condition in which 1t was shipped to New
York. 1t 10 with regret, however. that we have

a great deal Of the claret sent to this market

man hearts, never reached the one-hundred

II we remember Alright, the highest
point reached by the alethometer was eigh-
teen or nineteen. II may have gone n little
higher, but, if so, the fact is immaterial for

life time passed unimproved and the public

a purely academic question.

The Reply to Minister Bnrrios.

The serious significance of Lord kIMBEH-
LEY's letter to Mr.. BARRIos, so far rs orr
country is concerned, is to he found less in
the amount of the indemnity it cxacts than
in the peremptory method which it adopts,
and in the uncertainty that exists as to the
steps which Great Britain proposes to take
In case Of refusal.
The attitude of England is one that might
be assumed by party to controversy who
enjoyed also the privilege of being the final
judge, and who thereupon proceeded to pro-
nounce judgment in his own favor. Lord
KIMBERLEY recites briefly the evidence
brought forward by Nicaragua to justify her
course in expelling Mr. HATCH and others, as
instigators OF Chief CLARESCE's rebellion at
Bluefelds; but he dismisses each item of
testimony in q fashion that may by no
means satisfy Nicaragua. though it does
not quite take the abrupt form OF 'Ob-
lection not sustained" " or "Motion over
ruled" The Judgment thereupon pro-
nounced is that Nicaragua shall pay, to be
gin with. $4,000 for having arrested i'm
prisoned, and expelled British subjects;
shall cancel the DEGREES of exile issued
against them; shall pay, within three
months of their award, any damages
assessed by commission of three persons
for losses Of property sustained by those
subjects; finally shall pay 81, 500 as indem-
nifty for the treatment of two other British
sub bjects and the seizure of n British schooner.
The provision of a joint commission has a
semblance OF fairness, ms a customary ap-
piance in disputed claims. But 1t will he
observed that the real matter Of importance,
namely, whether Nicaragua was iusti-
fed III her action mt all. is not sub
mitted to n commission or to Urbitra-
tiOn. That is decided by Great Britain
against her at the outset, No other matters
relating to the treaty OF A!anngua or the
recent proceedings in the Mosquito Reserve
can be discussed until the indemnity ia dis
posed of and to this dcterminal ion her Mai
esty's Government intends to adhere" The
basis of the Commissions work is thus
fixed, and all it has To do is to assess addi-
tional damages in Great Britain's favor,
with no offset Of losses or expenses caused
to Nicaragua by any alleged partcipa-
tion of British subjects IN the re-
bellion, The main fine OF 1880 and
the abrogation Of the decree OF cx-
lilo arc already decided upon by Great
Britain, and are not to be submitted to n
commission or TO arbitration. The question
is whether Great Britain would succeed
in such form OF adjustment with a great
power like Germany or France.
Again, what would happen should Mica
ragua refuse to pay the fine thus imposed

A correspondent asks us whether it is
