Company Is Annulled.
MANAaUA, Nicaragua, Sept. 5.-El
Commerce., a daily semi-oficial news
paper published here, IN its issue of
Aug. 10 contained an editorial announce
ment that the government of Nicaragua
had informed the Interoceanic Canal
company that It's concession had been
annulled Aug. IL of the present year,
because Of the failure Of the company to
deposit s400, 900 In American gold in the
treasury Of Nicaragua within four
months after the organization Of the
canal concession granted to Eyre q
Cragin Dot. 80, 1893.
This apparently leaves the Nicara-
guam canal route free from any compil-
cations other than the demand for the
sum which the Caribbean and Pacific
Transit company may ask for its con-
cession obtained in 1897 or early in 1893,
granting to 1t, the company declares, the

ton ON the Rio San Juan river and Lake

however, by the reserved right Of Mica

Several reform parties with their

IMPERIAL DECREE ISSUED

Minister to London Talks of the Sit
uation-Status of Negotiations.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-No official pro-
nouncement is forthcoming here in re-
gard to the decision of the powers con-
corning China, but the consensus Of
opinion continues suggestive Of COM
promise on the proposals now under con-
sideration. In the interim there is lit
tie authoritative indication that the dow
ager empress is ready to treat for peace,
even if the allied powers reach an agree
ment in regard to the best means of
opening negotiations
On the contrary many rumors gath
cred at Shanghai suggest that she is
carrying on her anti-foreign policy with
increased ZEAL The latest reported inn
perial decree from Tai Yung Flu is said
to be defiant and unrepentant and to
contain the statement that the court
fed lest the emperor might be killed
during the fighting between the Boxers
and Christians and thus leave no one to
continue the ancestral worship"
The decree is also said to exhort
union of the viceroys to 'avenge the in
juries inflicted on China" by the powers.
The Chinese minister here admits the
correctness in general way of the ca
BILE message sent to him according to
Shanghai advices by Ii Hung Chang,
in which the latter is quoted as saying:
"Our St. Petersburg minister has per-
suaded Russia to leave Picking. You
are useless if you cannot persuade Eng
land. F"
The Chinese minister here says he
sent powerful memorial to Lord Sails
bury urging him to adhere to the Rus
sian proposal to withdraw the allied
forces from Picking, as he (the Chinese
minister) believes it will pave the way
to speedy settlement. The minister
also said the Chinese were sick of the
war; that the genuineness Of Lii Hung
Changes plenipotentiary powers was I'M
doubted, and that Lii Hung Chang was
working In full sympathy with the en-
peror, dowager empress and the prtvy
council, all of whom favored peace.
The minister admitted that he himself
was still in communication with the
Chinese government,
