United States Jealous OF the Rights of
Small American Republics.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The pros
pect of serious complications which
threatens the United States through
probable European encroachment on
Venezuela and Nicaragua has assumed
phase of such danger to the princi-
pie laid down in the Monroe doctrine,
that special cabinet conference was
held at the white house Wednesday
afternoon to consider the subject.
Secretary Gresham demanded that
Great Britain show her hand. In the
event that Nicaragua declines to ac-
cede to the demand made by her the
United States wants to know just what
England purposes to do.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The latest
developments in the Nicaraguan ques-
ton are of character that at least
temporarily sets at rest any baleful i'm
pressiors that may have been created
by the strong ground England has taken
in the demands made by her upon the
South American republic. The govern
ment is not on the verge of trouble
with England, inasmuch as dispatches
from Ambassador Bayard at London,
in response to kilograms from this
government requiring him to ascertain
the attitude of Great Britain in case
Nicaragua should refuse to pay the
indemnity demanded for the outrage
upon Mr.. hatch indicate very clear
that whatever else might happen
England will not seek to acquire Amer
lean territory. The telegram to Mr..
Bayard was the result of the cabinet
council of Wednesday and the reply re-
ceived is regarded as very satisfactory.
No less agreeable to the government
here is the latest phase of the Vene-
zuelan question which, inasmuch as
there are Instructions from the British
government of disposition to submit
that case to arbitration, is held to be

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The news
of the assault on Ii Hung Chang
caused sensation in diplomatic circles
in this city.
The opinion here is chat Japan will
suffer greatly as consequence of the
assault and that the position of China
will be so strengthened that it may be
able to secure better terms of peace
than it otherwise could have hoped for.
The incident may lead to the break
ing off of peace negotiations, which
were proceeding so satisfactorily, or at
least may postpone further action in
this direction until the Japanese have
guaranteed the safety of China's envoy
and made proper reparation.
