WILL CENSOR EVERYTHING
Great Britain TO Take Remarkable Sc
tion in the Inspection Of Cores
pondence.

NEW YORK, Feb ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Great Britain has announced her
purpose to censor official as wen as
private cablegrams sent to information
al representatives at Pretoria
This declaration is one Of the most
important steps affecting international
relations taken by Great Britain since
the war with the Transvaal began. 1t
is likely to provoke correspondence
which will be Of great moment in re-
spect to the future naturalization OF
cable lines.
Following 30 close on the heels Of
an alleged violation OF the American
consul mail. 1t is understood the an
nouncement has created disagreeable
impression in official circles.
1t will be difficult for the United
States. however. to do more than rep
resent to Great Britain the desirability
OF It's dispatches passing the censor
without interference.
The lines connecting South Africa
with the rest OF the world belong to
England. and the British government,
at the time Of signing the convention Of
1854. announced that the government
OF her majesty understands article Ii
OF the treaty in this sense: In time Of
war, belligerent signatory of the con.
vention shall be free to act in relation
to the submarine cables as If the con.
/ vention did not exist
There is no doubt that the purpos,
OF the censorship is to prevent DIR
Leyds or other Boer agents from com
municating With the Pretoria officials
Mr. Macrum in his official report sasa
i was privately informed by tn
Belgian ana German consuls at Pre-
toria that their official cables in cod
to their respective governments ha

TO life in the bull pen" where the

tion was illustrated by a large nSm-
ber OF photographs showing the prison

rude shanties. surrounded by wire

ANNEXATION OF NICARAGUA.

il Is Said Such a Proposition Would
Find Favor With the People.
CHICAGO, Feb. Discussing the
pending Nicaragua canal treaty, l.. c.
Cooley, the well-known engineer. said
today that perhaps the easiest way out
of the confusion would be for the Unit
ed States to annex Nicaragua as a
member of contracting syndicate to
investigate the feasibility of the Mica
ragua canal route. During his stay he
talked with all the high officials of the
Nioaraguan government.
Abiding to his observations in Mica
ragua, he said:
The impression l acquired while in
Nicaragua was that the people of all
classes, including the highest officials,
We're ready and anxious for annexation
10 the United States. might be asked
il such is the condition of public senti-
ment in Nicaragua why II is that the
country does not propose annexation
to the United States. asked this very
question of a high official of the Mica
rasuan government and was answered
that there We're so many rivalries and
conflicting political interests that If
the adherent of any one faction pro-
posed annexation all the other elements
would Immediately poufce upon him
and try to make II appear that he was
trying to sell the coultry out. Any
proposal by an official of the Nicara-
guam government looking toward an
neNation to the United States would
probably be utilized to begin a revo-
luton.
"A high official of the Nicaraguan
government asked me what the gov
ernment of the United States would
expect in the way Of right-of-way.
told him that we would expect to have
right-of-way under United States
control. He said he believed propo-
sition to annex the entire country Of
Nicaragua would not be unpopular
and that it would be accepted as read
lily as the proposition to Amerieanize a
small portion of the country through
which the canal might pass.
"The same high official whom have
quoted above asked me what kind Of
labor would be brought into Nicaragua
