Low Water in the Lakes.

Lake levels are playing some pecu-
liar freaks this'spring. From various
reports of low water made since the
opening of navigation it would seem
as if the mean lake levels are foot
below the ordinary stage. Thus far
this season continued northerly winds
have kept up the stage Of water in
Chicago harbor TO its usual height but
at the foot of Lake Michigan the drop
Is reported from two 20 three feet,
more especially in Green Bay, where
81 is said to be four feet. At both the
Welland canal and the st. Mary
canal the limit of draft is materially
reduced. Continual standings on
Crosse Pointe, in Detroit river, have
given warning that cargoes must be
materially lessened. The capacity of
deep draft vessels, which do nearly all
the lake commerce, has been reduced
by the low water from tc per cent.
Gen. o. NJ. Poe says: 81 don't blame
them for being uneasy. There is a
good reason for the low stage of water,
and it will get still lower unless there
are abundant general rains soon. Since
February l the rainfall has been four
inches short of the normal quantity in
the entire lake region. Four inches
all over the lakes and the country that
is drained into the lakes means a con-
siderable difference in depth. Besides
this. there is the evaporation and out
flow going on all the time, all of which
Is lowering the lakes all the time"

More Trouble In Nicaragua.

NewYorlx; A cable from Tegucigalpa,
Honduras says fighting has begun in
Granada, Nicaragua. Disorder is also
reported from Leon. The Hondurian
troops concentrated at Cape Gracias
will remain there, as it is feared that
the threatened outbreak on the Mos
quito reservation may extend here.
Gen. Bonilla will take 1000 men and go
to President Zelaya's aid if requested.
Washington; The fact that the rev.
olution is along the east shore is re-
garded as significant. This is the
Mosquito region in which British in
fluence has long been dominant. 1t
has been apprehended by Central
American diplomats that if the Mos
quito natives made further trouble it
would afford opportunity for further
British Intervention and probably an
attempt TO restore Chief Clarence.

ECHOES OF THE EASTERN WAR.
Japan Will Mako Concessions to Satisfy
the Powers, but RussIa Wants More.

the Powers, but Russia Wants More.
Washington: Information has been
received 20 show that, in response to
Russian intimations, Japan has abated
her claims TO the cession of Chinese
territory in Manchuria, and now offers
to demand only the absolute cession of
the extremity of the Port Arthur pen
insula as far north as and including
Talienwan. In return for this re-
linquishment of territory Japan will
demand considerable increase of the
war indemnity originally fixed at 200,-
900, 600 taels. 1t is feared that this
concession will not be sufficient to
meet the demands of Russia, which
will insist upon an entire abandon
ment of the Lao Tung peninsula. The
Russian reasoning Is that ty the occu-
patton of Port Arthur the Japanese
will dominate Manchuria as effectually
as if she held the nominal title to the
province. 1t would also be impossible
for Russia to locate n western ter
minal port for the Siberian railroad
anywhere in Manchuria as il would be
easily closed at moments notice by
the Japanese from their powerful base
at Port Arthur, which would dominate
from military point of view not only
Manchurla and the Gulf of Pechili, but
also Wei-Hai-Wei, only 40 miles across
the straits. Japan would also be in a
position TO control the commerce of
Manchuria.
Mr.. Poultney Bigelow, one of the
best posted writer's on European politi-
cal questions, has written a splendid
article setting forth the reasons for the
attitude of the various powers. 1t
may be summed briefly as follows:
Russia wants the territory which the
Japs have won; Germany's ruler de-
sires TO secure friendship with Russia
and cause GOODNESS between that
country and France; the republic of
France weakly supports Russia's de-
mands because of other entanglements
with her; John Bull does not wish TO
incur the displeasure of either side,
and Uncle Sam is always neutral in
foreign scraps.

BRITISH LEAVE CORINTO.
Nicaragua and Great Britain Come to an
Agreement mt Last.

Agreement mt Last.
Managua: The British and Nicara-
guam governments have reached an
agreement, thanks TO the good offices
of the United States, and the British
marines have evacuated the port of
Corinto. Nicaragua has agreed to
pay the ST., 500 demanded by Great
britain for the expulsion of pro-Consul
Hatch and for other alleged damages
TO British subjects arising from the
recent troubles in IL c Mosquito reSer-
walton, but instead of paying the
money at the lannon's mouth. as the
British government originally de-
handed should be done. she will pay
it in London Is days after the last
vessel of the British fleet withdraws
from Corinto. Two of the three YES
sells promptly left the harbor after the
marines were on board, but the Royal
Arthur remained.
The action of San Salvador in guar
anteeing the payment of the indemnity
as, in fact. her course throughout the
whole dispute, is very favorably COM
mented upon in official circles and it is
believed that an entente will be estab-
lished that will lead TO results beneti-
cial to both countries 1t would not
be at all surprising if this trouble with
Great Britain should result in the
formation of an alliance between the
Central American states for defensive
and commercial purposes. In fact
President Ielaya has received numer-
Gus letters from neighbor states sug-
costing a commercial union. Not for
years has there been such unanimity
of opinion among the Spanish Amer
lean republics.

Japan surrcnders tho Fruits of Victory.

Toxic: Japan prccipitately aban-
dons all Manchuria. Even the whole
peninsula of Liao Tung, including
Talienwan and Port Arthur, is to be
given up. 1t is doubtful whether there
will be any increase in the cash indem-
nifty. The facts are being kept secret
here, but when the truth becomes
known universal public revulsion is
certain. The present ministry is as
suredly doomed. The government is
auxiously guarding the foreign en-
voys. The diplomatic situation
is unparalleled. The American OPP.
portunity is unreasonable. II
is apparently not realized at Wash
ington that supreme influence in
the east for the next half century is
easily obtainable through prompt,
energetic action. The ratification of
the treaty by China is still deferred
but is promised.
