 Washington. April SIR. Echazar- reta, the Nicaraguan counsel at New Orleans, has advised the Nicaraguan legation in this city that according to a communication from General Juan J. Estrada, general commanding the Nicaraguan expedition engaged in cap turing Honduran ports explicit instrue- tions were given to the general to follow strictly the rules and regula- tions in accordance with international law when nations are at war, guaran- teeing the life and property of every neutral citizen and the different places where his forces would be.
 General Estrada states that he was ready to guarantee the life and prop erty of every foreigner and that he had made such guarantee good He says this has been proved by the fact that no complaints have been made to the contrary.
 The only complaints received. he said, were that there had been lack of laborers for the work of the banana plantations which he said was because the Honduran authorities made them soldiers to fight against the Nicara- guan forces, He stated that as soon as the Nicaraguan forces took posses sion of a place they liberated ns many Iaborers as they could to go back to their work.
