NICARAGUA PAYS CLAIM.
United States Recognizes Closing of
atlantic Ports.
From The Tribune Bureau.l


Washington Oct. 1s.-"The government of Nicar-
aqua will meet promptly all payments due the
George D. Emery Company in settlement of its
claim for annulment of timber concessions in Nicar-
aqua This statement was made to-day by Senior
Espinosa, Nicaragua's Minister to this country.
The first instalment Of the 100000 was paid late
yesterday afternoon, when Minister Espinosa called
personally at the State Department and turned
over check for $4,000. The Emery claim, which
at one time threatened to cause the breaking of
friendly relations between Nicaragua and the
United States. is to be settled by the payment OF
100000 in eight instalments, running over period
of five years-four of $4,000 each and four of $780,
900 each.
In discussing the Nicaraguan revolution to-day
Minister Espinosa expressed absolute confidence in
President Zelaya's ability to handle the situation
He said that the revolution was centred entirely in
the Atlantic Coast provinces and had not reached
the interior
A telegram from the United States Consul at
Bluehelds Nicaragua, to the State Department
says that the morning Of October II the So
called provisional government Of Juan Estrada
seized the steamship Yulu.
This ship was the property OF the Emery Com
pany. Under the protocol settling the Emery case
that company passed title to the vessel to the
Nicaraguan government. subject. however. to the
company's exclusive right to it for period OF
eight months. which has not yet elapsed
The telegram indicates that the owner protested
locally and shows also that the consul himself per-
sonally protested, but without avail The promise
was made. however. that the vessel would sUon be
returned.
The United States government to-day of1claHy
recognized the acton of Nicaragua in closing her
Atlantic Coast ports The closing Of the ports was
proclaimed by Nicaragua several days ago. and
the Nicaraguan government has informed the State
Department and the latter in turn the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor. Acting Secretary
McHarg of the Department of Commerce and
Labor has telegraphed collectors of customs OF
the facts and directed that, pending termination
of the trouble, issuance OF clearances to the At
lantic Coast por's Of the Nicaragua government
be refused.
This is not a blockade according to international
law for a blockade is not blockade at all unless
it is effective. Nicaragua has not the means
Of making it effective. 1t is, however, the next
thing to a blockade. The Atlantic Coast is in
possession Of the revoludonists, and any duties
paid the revolutionary authorities would have
to be repaid to the Zelaya government custom
houses in the event the coast should be retaken
by the government and the shipments should be
traced.
denial OF the charges contained in kilograms
originating in Managua asserting that the govern
ment Of Guatemala is promoting and aiding the
present revolutionary movement in Nicaragua has
been received by the Minister Of Guatemala at
