Costa Rfca and Nicaragua Awaiting
Action Of Congress.

The Nicaragua minister, Senor Correa
was at the State Department today to say
goodbye before leaving next Tuesday for
Nicaragua, where he will have an oppor-
tunity Of comforting with the officials Of
his government on Nicaragua canal affairs
The minister gave notice that Alexandra
Bermudez was now en- route here to act as
secretary of legation and -Nfcaraguan
charge d 'affaires during the minister's alb
sence. Mr.. Calvo, the Costa Rican minis
ter, will also leave for home in about ten
days to confer with his government as to
the canal situation.
With the departure of the various for
eign representatives interested i'm the canal
1t is settled that there will be no negotia-
tions on the subject until next fall Mean
time the conferences with Mr.. Hay have
made it clear that all agree that protocols
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica are still
in full force on that branch which pro-
vfdes that negotiations shall open between
the President and the two republics as
soon as the President receives the reoui-
site authority from Congress. The chief
interest of the ministers Is that this au-
thority shall be given the President as
early as possible in order that the negotia-
tions may proceed. But it is deemed un-
necessary to sign any new protocols on

The message of the president of Vene-
zuela, copies of which have just been re-

the relations with the United States and
appears to do away with the reports of
intense animosity in official quarters. The
president refers to the receipt Of a Wreat h
sent by patriotic bodies in the United
States, to be deposited in the pantheon
at Caracas, in memory of Miranda, one of
the liberators of Venezuela. The president
sets forth that this is a signal evidence of
the good will existing between the two re-
pnblfcs The message makes no reference
to the asphalt troubles. 1t states that the
government has sent an agent to France
with view to settling the protracted
breach of diplomatic relations which has
existed between France and Venezuela and

Ahother and later communication from
MT Rockhill, our special commissioner at

Immediately preceding, for it indicates that
the subject of indemnities is being dis
cussed with an apparent disposition TO
reach unanimous conclusion.
The United States proposition looking to
the agreement Of the powers upon a lump
sum Tor indemnities, fixed by the ability of
the chinese 10 pay without destroying the
government, seems to be growing in favor.
But the dlfhculty is that while perhaps the
majority or the powers, and even an Of
them. might be induced TO accent the urin-
clple OF thus gauging the burden to the
strength of China. they are far from unani-

this money among themselves The propo-
sltion 10 divide pro rata according To the
expenditures made by each power for r,tiIi
tary operations and for the losses sustainea
by its citizens in China seems reasonrbIe
upon its face. But the immediate effect of
the suggestion was to cause the prese.lIa-
ton OF wonderfully large bills by some or
the powers. and it became apparent that
unless the good faith of some of them was
to be called to account, a thing not to be
tolerated. the only way of reaching a set
