INDEMNITY GUARANTEED.
Nicaragua Wiii bo Able To Satisfy Gront

Nicaragua VIII bo Abic TO Satisfy Grsa,

WASHINGTON. May Tho guarantee
OF tho pay ment by Nicaragua OF tho In.
demnity as required by Great Britain
will bo made In tho amplest manner
possible. so that therc appears to be no
further obstacle between tho TWO couu.
tries rs to final adjustment.
Tho guarantee will bo in any ono OF
several forms aa follows:
Firat-The promise OF the Nicaragua
government, which, in view OF the lac /
that tho government has nevor default.
ed on Its obligations, Is OF itself regarded
rs a guarantee; second, the Bank Of
Nicaragua. o national institution with
recognized standing in London, will, II
need be, give the guarantee; third, the
republic OF Guatemala. one OF the rich.
est OF Central American states, stands
ready to deposit el5,500 in u London
bank 1t Nicaragua desires tho favor;
fourth. the Nicaragua Canal Company,
whose word In london would be ac-
ceptable In the highest financial circles.
will give either guarantee or the cash
il need be.
The final proposition. MS now con-
cludcd between Nicaragua and Great
Britain. will therefore be as follows:
Grea, Britain agrees to Immediately
evacuate Corinto and withdraw her
fleet. Nicaragua agrees to pay the els.
500 in London fifteen days from tho
sailing Of the fleet out OF Corinto har.
Dor. According to these terms tho iii.
teen days does not begin to run until
the actual sailing OF tho fleet. Tho lat
tor feature was insisted upon by Nicar-
aqua As means OF checking popular
agitation and as step toward main.
tanning her dignity.
The affair has cost Nicaragua moro
than the original S77,500. 1t was neces.
sary to raise 5000 extra troops at Il cost
OF s., 600 per day. The abandonment, OF
Corinto as custom port has also TO.
suited in much loss. The disturbance
to business and commerce is a los
which cannot be measured in dollars.

SAN FRASCIsco, GALA, May 1.-The
inquest on the body OF Blanche Lamont
occupied less than threo hours to-day,
but tho evidence developed was con-
vincing and tho jury returned verdict
charging Theodore Durant with tho
murder. Until to-day no ono has been
| produced who saw Duraut in tho vicini-
ty Of Emanuel Baptist church with tho
murdered girl ou the afternoon OF April
). This missing link, seemingly all
that was lacking to complete tho chain
OF circumstances, fastening tho torrible
church crimes on tho medical student,
was supplied at the inquest. Martin
Qutnlan, an attorney, gave direct and
positive testimony that ho saw Durans
and girl tallying exactly with the de-
scnption OF Blanche Lamont, walking
towards tho church and only few yarda
distant, at 4: 10 o'clock. on the afternoon
sho disappeared. Quinlan explained
that he WAS waiting 10 keep an appoint
mont Wit h one Clarke. who corrobora.ed
Qulnlans statement.
These witnesses furnished the sensa-
tional feature OF the inquest, but Durant
maintained his stolid indifference dur
ing the testimony. The police and dis
trlct attorney arc confident OF con-
viction, stating that they did not put
in nearly all oil their case at the inquest.
Mrs. Z. q. Noble, aunt OF the muir
dcred girl. testified as to the frequency
OF Durants visits at her house and his
attentions to her niece. Durant had
proposad marriage 10 Blanche last De.
cember. but had been refused when the
girl learned he was engaged to another
young lady.
G. q. Noble, uncle Of Blanche, testi-
fed that Durant had suggested, after
her disappearance, that Blanche was
probably IN honse OF i'll fame, and
offered to search for her.
a street car conductor and three
school girls identified Durant as the
man who escorted Blanche from the
school, taking the car TO tho point OF
trauster, eurou,e to her home.
G. r. King. organist of Emanuel
| church, with evident efforts to shield
Durant, told the story OF seeing him in
the church, sick and faint, late in the
afternoon Blanche Lamont disap.
peared.
DR.. J. S. Barrett. who performed the
autopsy, stated that Blanche died OF
asphy1iation. lie said it was inpoa-
sble Tor her to have been in delicate
condition. Seven of the strangler's fin
gor nail wounds were on one side OF her
neck aud five on the other
Detectives told Of Durancs contra.
| dictory statements concerning his
whereabouts the day Blanche disap.
peared and OF his seeming fear to ac-
knowledge the extent of his ncquains-
ance with her, and the case wont TO the
jury with unexpected celebrity.
