We We're Not Included in Her Ultima tum
TO NicnrnoMn.

Washington, March 2S.-The seven
words in the ultimatum of Great Br-
tain to Nicaragua to which President
Cleveland and his cabinet have at

be mot a citizen of any American re-
public" This phrase was thought to
be an explicit declaration by England
that she declined to recognize any
force in the Monroe doctrine, and to
be a gratuitious reflection upon the
United States.
The intention to cast any reflection
upon the United States was promptly
disavowed by Lord Kimberly. through
one of his under secretaries, and 1t IL
now stated that the meaning of the un-
fortunate sentence used and the inten-
tions of the British government have
been misconstrued. While technically

flee never classified this great govern
ment and people with the Spanish and
