A solution for Nicaragua.

Evidently Admiral KIMBAIL has
checked the hOw Of navy rations from
his fleet: and the Estrada patriots, thus
bereaved OF one source Of sustenance
and perceiving the victorious Madriz
army under VAsoUEz moving earnestly
on Rama. the heart OF the banana ter
ritory. are casting about for some quick
route to graceful remuneration. There
are various postulates, all more or leas
experimental. One il that Nicaragua
shall be divided into two parts. ESTRADA
taking ono and MADRIz retaining the
other. whereupon Peace will resume its
now abandoned perch and roost for
evermore. Secretary KNOX has been
asked TO decide upon the boundary
line. 80 that ESTRADA may rule on one
side Of il and MADkIz upon the other.
II he hssitates. then JOHS BARRETT will
grid up his loins and bear down with
vigor on the squabble.
Something good will come Of il, We
are quite sure OF that. There IL q voice
that will drown the sirens OF the feet
a vocabulary that will beggar the uproar
Of Babel itself; and what he says. that IN
in full diapasOn. will be accepted by all
a. a fOghOrn conclusion. Then will order
and tranquility have their long delayed
innings. the banana belt will bloom
again. and Secretary KNOX emerge from
his troubled adumbratiOns and take q
look around.
This solution seems good to us
Maybe il will serve until next time.
