Nicaraguan government having. through
the Salvadoran minister at hondon, ao-
csptsd the modified ultimatum of the
British government, the dispute between
the two countries is practically at an and.
Orders were cabled irorn Londcn to
Rear Admiral Stephenson. commanding
the British squadron at Corinto. directing
him to evacuate the port on Sunday.
The warships presented arenas of order-
ly bustle Sunday interning giving evi-
dence that something out ct the usual
course was going on. Route phased iro-
quontly between the shore and the ves-
sels. the little midsbiptnen in charge wear-
ing an air of greater importance than
usual. They were evidently bearers oi
communications to Captain Trench oi the
Royal Arthur, who. upon the seizure of
Corlnto. had been appointed by Admiral
Stephenson governor oi the port. ‘
The force originally landed by the Brit-
ish to hold the place was 400 blue jackets
and marines, but on Friday, when it he-
eamc known that the tension had become
relaxed. all of thorn, with the exception of
its marines and tholroillccrs. Word with-

Shortly alter the ling denoting that re-

rines, who had been drawn up in front of
the custom house. were ordered to return
to their ships. A low minutes later tho
British flag was houlod down from the
government building, and soon the soil oi
Nicaragua was rid of the British invad-
ers, and the long stroknaoi the sailors
were sweeping the heavy boots to the wor-
ships lying in the harbor.
Hundreds oi [mthntI assembled along

Tho warships were soon riding at short
«thins, but their departure was delayed
by the tide. which did not sorvcnntil in
the nitomoon. it Was expo-civil that tho
flagship Would dupnrt with the other two
vessels oi the fleet, but when tho water
was high enough on the bar to permit. of
the passage of the vessels only the Wild
Swan and the Satellite got under way,
and with the red ensign oi Britain snap-

flagship—the Royal Arthur—paid out her
cubic again. and this fact was believed to
confirm a report that she would salute the
Nicaraguan ling when the government rev

There is much doubt bore no to what
the exact attitude oi the governmental.
Washington has been during the whole of
the dispute. Many conflicting statements
are made. some oi which are to the client
that the United States. it they protested
at all against the occupation of Nicara-
guan territory, did so in a rutrfunctory
manner. while, on the other band. it is
claimed that it won through their allot-ts
and in a pressure under their direction
that Senor Medina. the Salvadoroan mirr-
istcr nt Marlon. took such a successful
part in the negotiations that led to the no-
oeptnnco by the Earl of Kimberley, the

The action of San Salvador in guaran-

dispute. is very favorably commented upon
in olflolal circles, and it is believed that
an sntente will he established that will
lead to results bcneliciai to both countries.
it would not be at all surprising ii this
trouble with Great Britain should result
in the formation of an alliance between
the several Central American states (or
