Washington, D. c.. Jan. S.-President
Madriz of Nicaragua. in a message re-

asked Rear Admiral kimball to in
form the United States government
that after a personal study of the cir
cumstances attending the execution OF
Groce and Cannon he iamented the act.
President Madriz declared the deed
illegal. This expression may prove of
great significance. II is taken here
to mean possible demand upon Mex

Britons Forbid Greytown Fight.
THE majority of houses in Greytown
being owned by British subjects, there
must be no fighting within that town.
If any does take place there. l shall
consider myself at liberty to land a
strong armed party and guns to stop
it,
This is the substance of a note re-
ported by Consul MOffat at Bluefields
to have been sent to the commander Of
the British ship Scylla now at Grey
town, Nicaragua. to Generals Estrada
and Hurlado. commanding the revolu-
tionary and government forces, re-
spectively.
This action on the part of the Brit
ish commander injects a new element
into the military situation in eastern
Nicaragua, and in all probability will
result in Estrada moving his army i'm
mediately westward with Managua for
its ultimate destination.
