Revolution In Nicaragua.

insurgents captured drenada,
the principal town of Nicaragua,
but it was retaken by the Govern
ment forces.
The uprising is attributed to
disaffection among the conserva.
tive party, over President Zelaya's
retention of the Presidency be-
yond February next, when his
first term expires.
According to the union recently
effected by Nicaragua, Honduras
and Salvador under the name of
Greater Republic of Central Am
erica, military forces of the COM
bined States will be available to
suppress the outbreak, but some
doubt is expressed at Washing
ton as to whether this treaty OF
mutual defense will stand the test
of revolution.
Andree All Right.
The whaling ship Palk has
brought to Hammerfest, Norway,
the third pigeon dispatch from
Professor Andree, which reads:
July ID, 1890 p. M, latitude 80
deg. 2 min. north. longitude IL
deg. s min. east.-Good voyage
eastward. All we'll.
Evelyn G. Baldwin, the meteor
ologist of the Peary expedition of
1894, judges from this message
that Andree had been able to
guide the balloon in spite of losing
three guiding ropes at the start;
that the cold had not badly aft ect-
ed the gas, that he took the direc-
ton he intended, was able to tell
his whereabouts with wonderful
accuracy, and that Andree's abili-
ty to successfully Withstand the
initial difficulties augurs better
than the ordinary lay mind would
imagine for the elimination of
his daring project.
Tho Sealing Controversy.
The London Globe has fiery
article on the alleged want of
courtesy in United States commu
nications on the sealing ques-
ton.
Commenting on communica.
ton from the Colonial to the
Foreign office, the Standard holds
that Great Britain has a perfect
answer to the complaints of the
Government at Washington.
An article in the Daily News
utters grave misgivings as to the
wisdom of the publication at this
time of the Colonial Office blue
book. 1t says the present exhibit
ton of indignation is either too
late or too soon, and does not be-
lieve there is hitch in the nego-
tiations for a friendly settlement.
Either the dispatches have been
allowed to come out inadvertently
in which case blunder has
been committed almost as serious
as the publication of Mr.. Sher.
mans dispatch in July-or there
has been a foolish desire to graft
fly personal vanity or to show the
Canadians that they had a valiant
defender; in which case the blum
ded has nearly attained the pro.
portions of crime, for it would
be a crime to imperil a friendly
negotiation at the moment when a
settlement was almost in view.
The London Times says the
statement of the American press
that the State Department at
Washington and the British En-
bassador have received instruc-
tons to reopen negotiations for a
general treaty of arbitration is at
least premature. 1t is probable
that the negotiations, which have
never been broken off, may be re-
sumed next month when Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote returns to his
post, but it is difficult to see how
a treaty of any practical value can
be concluded 80 long as the
Senate maintains the hostile and
obstructive attitude it displayed
when it last discussed the qaea
ton.
