official information has boon received as
10 Great Britain's bcllisercnt steps in
Nicaragua. British troops are to DO
landed at Corinto. Tho custom offices
sts 10 be occupied by the British iorcos
and British officers are to exercise the
functions OF collectors OF customs. A.
the same time Nicaragua local commerce
/. to be crippled by blockade. Tho
lmi. OF time allowed Nicaragua to
yield expires tomorrow (Thursjay)
and the blockade. landing OF troops and
seizure oi custom houses is to begin
Immediately thereafter.
There is good reason to belicvo that
Nicaragua is not likely to yield. but will
allow British troops to occupy Corinto
in order that conspicuous attention
may be drawn TO what Is regarded by
Nicaragua as an invasion oi the Monroe
doctrine.

Cor!n'o Is the heaviest import point
in Nicaragua. The imports there for

ports to other points did not exceed
SjO0,010. It is evident from this why
the British choose Corinto ior ,hcir
strike. Almost one-halt OF the Imports
