MANAGUA. Nicaragua Nav 1o.-rhe
BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 10.-The
people of Nicaragua have manifested
much interest in the outcome of the
Nicaraguan treaty. with the United
States The Nicaraguan people. after
the end of the Zelaya regime, found them
selves in such a financial situation that
they could not meet the interest on their
bonds. They had defaulted on the inter-
est on their foreign loans and innumer-
able internal and external claims against
the government were brought up. In
this situation they were absolutely un
able to meet their obligations without
outside help. They might patronize the
money lenders, but the risks involved
were so great that the money lenders
would not advance more money except
at the most usurious rates-rates which
would have made it even more impossi-
Bile to meet their interest charges in the
future than 1t was to meet them then.
Likewise, the currency problem had
grown to proportions which made IL al
most hopeless. In years gone by, one
dollar Of Nicaraguan money was worth
about 10 cents American. Gradually
the financial condition Of the coun-
try grew worse and worse until dollar
Nicaraguan was worth only little more
than cents. People who owed debts
based on former rates of exchange. could
force their creditors to take "a dollar
worth 4 cents in satisfaction OF a debt
which had been contracted upon the
basis Of q dollar worth UP to 10 cents.

situation that could mean little else than

outside pressure. Nicaragua threw itself
upon the mercies OF the United States
and agreed that 1t would be willing to
give the United States practical control
of the customs houses OF the country II
Uncle Sam in turn would administer
them after the manner OF the customs
administration in Santo Domingo.

interest. The external debt OF Nicaragua,
with interest in arrears, amounted
January to nearly $65OO.OOO In 1909
there were large number Of outstanding
obligations, which were consolidated in a
single loan negotiated with the Ethel
burga Syndicate. It is now proposed
that, IL the present pending loan goes
through, these bonds will be reduced from
100 pounds sterling each to eighty-five
pounds each, and that the rate Of interest
will remain as it is today, at 8 per cent.
It is also proposed that IL they are re-
deemed by January 1. 1922, 1t may be
done on the basis of eighty-nine pounds
for each 1O0-pound bond, with accrued in
terest.
In addition to the approximately So, 800. :
600 Of foreign debt, there are internal
claims amounting to probably $5.OOO.OOO.
which will be passed upon by a mixed
commission. consisting Of two Americans
and a Nicaraguan. This commission will
pass upon all annulments, cancellations
and notifications of concessions granted
under previous administrations, some OF
which are illegal and unconstitutional:
many OF which have no reason to be con-
tinued. and still others Of which are
industrially improper. This commission
will also adjust all claims arising out OF
the last revolution for forced loans and
injuries resulting from the activities of
the belligerents, yet II the loan does not
go through, its awards cannot be met by
the government.

debts. the adjustment and settlement of

Estimate of YaIuabIes Lost

New Orleans. May 15.-Express officials here admitted that the safe robbed on the queen and Crescent train early today contained the following valuables:
 Two sacks of silver dollars containing 5000 each.
 One-half dozen packages of jewelry.
 One package of bonds.
 One package of certificates of stock.
 Several miscellaneous packages aggre- gating a few thousand dollars
 The officials here are extremely reticent about discussing the amount of money and valuabies secured by the robbers and dismiss reporters by saying exactly how much the robbers secured will not be de- termined until a thorough investigation has been made.
 One of the chief detectives of the Southern Express company was on the train in a sleeper, but his name was with held by the cofnpany's officials. The ex- ira guard in the ear whose presence many considered confirm a story of the reports that the safe contained extra large ship ments of currency. company officials here declare was merely being transported back to his home in Chattanooga.
