a steady and sustained increase in the

old with new machinery. it IS said,
has largely made up for the loss in

be seen that the tendency has been
toward the curtailment of the British

Managua, Mic, Jan. with little
beating OF drums and blowing of
trumpets, q warlike move upon the
part OF the republic of Colombia is now
believed to have been checkmated by
the republic of Nicaragua, although
further news from the objective point.
Corn island, is ~anxiollSly expected
here.
A00u a month z the government
or Nicaragua was Informed unofficial
~ thai Colombia had planned to make
q landing ON Corn island, u valuable
strategic point, situated about thirty
six miles off st. Mosquito coast belong
ing to Nicaragua, whose flag was to
be hauled down and the ensign Of Co
lcmbia substituted for 1t. 1t was al
Feged that Nicaragua vas oyer-taxing
r island and that the inhabitants,
numbering a few hundred. had an
pealed TO Colombia for redress, on the
ground that territory, some five miles
long, which formerly belonged to Co
lombia, was unlawfully held by Mic
aragua. 1t was further stated that
the project OF San Andres, COlOa.,
a assembled Il military force and
was only waiting for the arrival of a
Colombian gunbOat In order to en-
Dark he troops. proceed TO Corn isl
and, seize it and fortify it against the
possibility of recapture. That such a
plan was discussed there is no reason
TO doubt, but President Xelaya OF Mic
aragua took prompt steps to meet this
move upon the part of the ueighboring
republic. Very quietly detachments Of
Nicaraguan troops were assembled
here and at Granada, and when all
was ready they were sent in small
parties across Lake Nicaragua and
down the San Juan river to Greytown
and BlueiieldS. BY this time the sol
dierS Of Nicaragua are believed to be
III possession of the big and little Corn
islands, for there are two Of them, and
the work of erecting u strong fort
should be progressing.
OF course il the Colombian expedi-
ton started earlier than expected and
reached Corn island before the Mic
araguan troops, fighting may have DC
CURED before this, and IL SO, the mat
ter may lead to Il general upheayal in
Central America, for Colombia was
warned, automatically and through
the press early last month, that her
seizure OF Corn island might make Il
warlike combination Of tie republics
of Salvador and Honduras in support
Of Nicaragua against her. Colombia
was also advised II she still main
tained she had rights over Corn island
to submit them so arbitration OF a dis
interested republic. To these threats
and suggestions apparently no atten-
ton was paid, for it was announced
that the Colombian gunhcat was being
fitted mp for the transportation of Co
lombian troops to Corn island. 1t is
hoped here that the N~icaraguan force
reached there in advance Of the Co
iombian detachment.
