not only with view of conciliating all the
discontented factions but Of impressing
the United States with the genuinenees OF
the peace and order now existing in Mic

influence in canal matters, in view of the
hitch in the United States canal negotia-

T. M. Solomon, fiscal agent Of the Republic
OF Nicaragua, from Seflor Ramircian,
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, announcing
the release of all political prisoners and

ration, 80; temperature, 9s.4 centigrade."
Upon leaving the Vatican, DR.. Mazzoni

we may we'll be satisfied. He has passed the
critical period Of his malady, and his doctors
do not consider him to be in any imminent
danger.

more vivacity in his movements this morn

of the hand. For the first time since his
illness he asked for nourishment instead
of refusing it. He wished to get up, but

The Gtrrnaic di Kah1 publishes an inter-
view with Cardinal, who says that the
Conclave will be long because the candi-
dates are numerous. The candidacy Of
Cardinal Gotti will be opposed by Cardinal

signal every mile,
