COLON, April 27.-The Nicaragua gov
ernment in view of the occupation of
Corinto by the British forces under Ad-
miral Stephenson for the purpose of col
lecting customs revenues at that port to
satisfy the demands of Great Britain for
an indemnity for tn expulsion of Consul
Hatch and other British subjects from
Bluefelds has decreed the closing of the
port. On account of this action of the
government the Panama Railway COM
pany has issued notice to agents of the
various steamship lines whose vessels run
to the isthmus notifying them OF the
close of Coriuto in order that they may
take the necessary action to protect
freight and passengers en- route to Cor
into.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-The Associated
Press yesterday cabled President Zelaya
of Nicaragua, asking him for an express
sion of opinion as to the situation in that
country. Shortly after midnight the fol-
lowing reply was received:
A special to the World from Corinto
says: This will be the last telegram sent
from here, as the wires will soon
be cut. The British landed at 1
o'clock. The landing force was under
command of Frederick French. who
has established his headquarters at the
custom house for the present, although
the Nicaraguan officers and soldiers evac
uated the town early. The British made as
much fuss as though they were going to
capture a fortified town.
Another special from Paso de Caballos,
Nicaragua, says The plan of Nicaragua
to isolate the British at Corinto is being
carefully carried out. Orders for goods to
be sent to Corinto nave been counter
manded until the blockade is raised. The
trosp ect now is that the Britiah will oc
cupy more territory. 1t is not believed
that the United States will allow that.
o A dispatch from Managua says: Com
munication with Corinto has been inter
rupted.
A rumor is in circulation that the
United States has requested Great Britain
to grant Nicaragua Two weeks to
pay the indemnity before resorting TO
force and Great Britain has agreed to do
so. Government officials will also say
there is nothing decisive yet. A courier
bearing important dispatches left Corinto
this afternoon. The government made
special efforts to prevent any British
demonstration. 1t is affirmed that the
government has forwarded to England
proofs against the British Consular Agent
Haton. Nicaragua's answer to the ul.
timatum was handed Admiral Stephen
son Friday. 1t refused to accept Eng
lands proposals.

The Other Side

Mr.. Ozro W. Childs was interviewed by
a Herald reporter last nighu and he de-
cried the idea of the hotel ever being built.
Said he: Mr.. o. T. Johnson bought
the property from Mrs. Childs two months
ago, she retaining an option. She placed
her interests in the hands of Easton,
Edridge e. Co.. and if there was any in
tention of building they certainly would
know OF it and would as soon as they.
THE fact is. there have been visionary
hotels galore put up on that Tenth street
foundation, and l have given up hope of
seeing any building done until the cash
is i'll sight
''Mr. Folsom and Mr.. Griffith intend
well. but they are not capitalists, and L
regret they personally are not able to put
up the building worth 5000, 900 that those
plans call for.
"But if they have interested eastern
capital to guarantee the backing, l shall
be very glad to hear of their success, be-
cause the foundations are solid as rock
and the site cannot be equaled for excel
lence as a place for building such struc
turc. But doubt if anything comes OF
the agitation.

THEY BURNED THEIR BRIDGES

the two repaired to the war department
to consult with Secretary Lamont. The
latter was absent at the time, but coming
In later. repaired Immediately to the
state department and talked over matters
with the president. Later on the news
came to the department by the ssocated
fress from Colon that the Nicaraguan
government had made sharp move by
declaring Cornto a closed port. This
was evidently disturbing element in the
calculations, for Assistant Secretary Uhl
was at once dispatched to the British en-
bassy to confer with Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the most unusual proceeding in de-
partmental etiquette.
1t was said at the embassy that Sir Jul
ian Pauncefote had not received confir-
nation from the foreign Office of the
British occupation of Corinto up to the
close of the EN- bassy at o'clock. The
embassy did not expect direct informa-
tion from London as it is said the for
eign Office has no occasion to communi
cate with the British representative at
Washington.
There can be ON doubt but that the act
ion of the Nicaraguan government in de-
clarng Cornto closed port has seriously
complicated the most troubesom ques-
tion and even if there is no resort to
hostiliites at present it opens prospect
of alarming events in the future which
may, and in fact, are even regarded as
likely to inovlve the United States directly
in the affair in spite of the earnest dis
position of the administration to avoid
the entanglemenJ. The action means
that no goods can now be entered at Co.
rinto, a port which has therefore, received
over half of the imports into the country
without violating the national law of
Nicaragua. The British may collect
duties if any goods enter the place, but
the latter would be liable to seizure the
moment they crossed the British lines
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-04-28

ment again assessed the duties upon the
same goods, holding that the insurgents
had no authority to make the first collec
tion and refusing to recognize it. The
British minister. Sir Edward Thornton,
appealed to our country, Great Britain
having no representative in Mexico, to
secure the release of the goods from this
imposition. We acted very promptly and
obliged the Mexicans to release the goods
and acknowledge the principle that the
duties cannot be twice levied. This case
differs in many important features from
the present one, from the closure of Cor
into. and 1T is difficult to ascertain the
application of International law in the
case, although the general broad princi-
pie would seem to be similar.
CORINTO. April 27.-The British
troops landed and occupied the custom
house and military headquarters. A peace
full blockade of the port was established.
Previous to the landing Rear Admiral
Stephenson sent out the following note
to the commander of the port: II have
to inform you that IN accordance with
the notice communicated to the foreign
minister at Managua the three days allow
ed me will expire at midnight of Friday.
and if the demand of my government
have not been complied with it is my in
tention to occupy the town of Corinto
with an armed force tomorrow morning
at O'Clock | desire that the military
guard, under your orders, shall be dis
armed and that their arms, with krupp
guns and ammunition. shall be handed
over to Captain Frederick French of the
Royal Arthur"
There is talk about the passing of an
act by the republic asking for resistance
to be made by the whole country. A
wonderful spirit of patriotism has been
aroused, and feeling of hatred for the
English that will never be eradicated.
The government is using all means in it's
power to restrain the people, and is urging
prudence. The republic has been declar-
ed under martial law, owing to the ulti-
matum.

The Architect, nr. CarnicIe, Describes the
General Features of the PaiatiaI
Hostelry and Some of
Its Details

The cry of "city hotel'' has been around
so often in Los Angeles that any new
story, particularly in connection with the
traditions that have now the dignity of
legends, about the Tenth-street site, is
apt to be regarded with great suspicion,
and even derision.
There seems, however, to be a reason-
able basis for the latest development in
the line of mammoth hotel literature,
and all the facts, pro and con, are here
with given.
From a source that ought to be reliable
Herald reporter Yesterday learned that
Messrs. f. p. Carnicle, the architect who
is associated with Mr.. Burgoyse recently
from New York, had completed the draw
ing of plan for hotel which will be
located in this city, to be second to but
few in the world in appearance solidity,
appointment and luxury.
The details as given by Mr.. Carnicle,
who asserts that the project has been fully
decided upon, are as follows:
The property to be improved is at Tenth
and Main streets-the old Tenth street
hotel site.
The area to be built upon is a little
more than 300 feet square. of regular
shape. The old foundations will be util-
lied.
The building will be four stories in
height. The materials will be brick and
terra Gotta. The roof will be of red tiles,
while the bri ok exterior will be plastered.
The style of architecture, as suggested
by the foregoing, will be Spanish renais-
sance. The interior court, winch will ex-
tend through the four floors, will be 200x
200 feet.in size.
The hotel will contain $50 sleeping
rooms, with baths. etc.
The whole will be handsome in design,
substantially constructed and elegantly
finished and luxuriously fitted up.
The estimated cost of the building is
5000, 600.
1t will be erected by Benjaimn r. Fol-
som of Philadelphia, who. by the way, is
cousin of President Cleveland. who will
be associated in the enterprise with Mr..
Griffith of Chicago.
Work is expected to commence within
sixty days

given will be reinforced oy picture of
the design, which is herewith reproduced.

Lake Side park, minus money and minus

days ago the captain OF the dining room
walters in this city. He left the hotel
and was about to go to Rochester, n. Y,
to visit his parents. He had his trunk
packed and intended to leave in day or
SO. Mosher did not talk much about his
business, but he had Thursday drawn
thir y-three days pay, and besides that
had $120 in cash on his person. 1t was
also said that he had a bank account and
carried the bank book in his pocket.
When the body was found it was
thought to be case of suicide, but there
are heavy bruises on the side of the face.
The only motives which can be ascribed
for the murder, as it is now believed to
be, are that he was killed for his money.

into the interior. They must do this to
find market, for the coast, being un-
healthy, is thinly populated and the great
consuming class of the population lives
in the interior.
The first effect of the decree closing the
port. therefore, will probably be to divert
nearly all, if not the entire import trade
of the place to San Juan del Sur or per-
haps Realajo. seaport near by, for it is
improbable that many merchants will
take the chances of getting their goods
into Nicaragua through the British lines
under the circum stances. In this case the
length of the stay of the British at Co
rinto is problematical, conditional, as it
is, upon collecting enough revenue from
customs to make good the indemnity de-
manded But another consideration
arises at this point, for our government
has been assured that the occupation will
not be permanent and indeed the first
paragraph of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty
expressly pledges Great Britain against
any ocupatiou of Nicaraguan territory.
So the problem will arise how to collect
the indemnity within a reasonable time.
This may be settled summarily by simply
extending the occupation and blockade OF
Corinto, so as to include all OF the Pa
cific ports of Nicaragua. From the dis
position shown by the Nicaraguans at
present this can pe done only by force,
and is likely to add very largely to the
expence incurred IN the collection of the
indemnity, which items will surely be
added by the British to the original sum.
M ,,.;l
embarrass the commerce OF the United
States. and on this point Great Britain
has given Secretary Gresham certain as
surances of the manner in which the
British may be sure OF attaining their ends
by a prompt declaration of war and an
invasion of Nicaragua. involving the cap
ture of the capital, Managua, and the i'm.
position upon the Nicaraguans of the
British terms as the price of peace. {.
1t may be that the British government
will be driven to the latter course in the
interest of trade, our own as well as that
of her own merchants, which she is
bound to safeguard. If goods entered at
Corinto after payment of duty to the
British occupants sh uld be seized in the
interior the owners British or American,
would have every claim for reparation.
The only question is as to whose duty it
would be to secure this-whether the
United States would feel bound to inter-
vene in the case of an American mer
chant in such case, and therein lies one
of the factors which may involve our
country directly in the dispute. 1t has
been asserted as hard and fast rule of
international law that duties cannot be
twice collected, and our own government
has taken an advanced position on this
question. At one time when the diplo-
matte relations between Great Britain
and Mexico were interrupted and revo-
lutionary movement was in progress in
the latter country, a British ship entering
one OF the revolutionary ports OF Mexico
paid duties upon her goods to the insurg-
cnts. Afterwards the Mexican govern

FARMERS DO NOT LIKE 1T
A Downpour of Rain That Was Not
Welcome

STOCKTON, April 27.-The rainfall last
night and up to O'Clock this afternoon
amounted to something less than half al
inch. 1t will do a great deal of good on
the uplands below this city. Standing
grain has about all the mo- stnre it can
stand. The stalks are very tall, and a
great deal of wheat and barley was lodged
by the downpour. Generally the rain was
beneficial throughout the county and on
the west side, in which locality it was
needed. Heavy crops in this county as
we'll as on thu west side are assured and
40 more rain is needed. For the sandy
lands the year has been an especially fa-
vorable one The total fall of ram here
for this season is 20.5 inches. Up to this
period last year the fall was II inches.
