A SERIOUS AFFAIR
Great Britain's Demand
Merits Consideration.
A SPECIAL COPY IN WASHINGTON
It Demand "Smart" Money and Dam
ages, and Bars All Americans
From the Commission.
Washingtoh, March 23. There is ab
solute authority for the statement, not
withstanding guarded denials, that
Great Britain's demand upon Nicaragua
is of such a character as to merit very
grave consideration on the part of the
United States. Barrios has brought a
special copy of the demand to Washing'
ton, and it discloses the fact that the
conditions imposed upon this feeble and
impecunious republic are harsh in the
extreme. Great Britain demands $75,
000 "smart" money, to be paid down
within seven weeks ; that is to say be
fore April 10th next, for the affront to
the British crown implied in the alleged
wrongful expulsion of the British pro
consul, Hatch, from JBluefields. Next,
Great Britain insists that the claims of
Hatch and other British subjects for
damages shall be submitted to a com
mission of three, one to be appointed by
Nicaragua, one by Great Britain and a
third to be selected by them ; but "not
to be a citizen of any . American repub
lic." The United States' Interests in
Nicaragua, especially regarding the
problem of the trans-isthmian canal, are
so great that the presentation of exces
sive demands, followed perhaps by se
curity of territory as a guarantee of pay
ment, has brought the United States
face to face with a complication which,
in connection with the Venezuelan
boundary question, assumes importance
of the first magnitude. Knowing that
Nicaragua can spare not one cent, it re
mains to be seen whether she can give
satisfactory assurances of its future pay
ment. Little doubt is expressed that
Great Britain will seize something, and
by the Clayton Bulwer treaty the United
States will have a right to know in ad
vance just what Great Britain proposes
to do. Discussing the matter, a leading
official said:
Great Britain's exclusion of the United
States from participating in the proposed
Nicaraguan arbitration is a distinct rec
ognition of the identity of Nicaragua
and the United States, and of the influ
ence of the United States on this conti
nent, as well as a confession of Great
Britain's weakness among the American
republics."
Important Dispatches Sent to Admiral
Meade by the Columbia.
Washington, March 23. The cruiser
Columbia is now on her way to South
America. ' It is stated she carries im
portant dispatches to Admiral Meade.
Neither the state nor navy department
will confirm this report, which, however,
comes from a reliable source. It is as
serted the dispatches relate chiefly to
the Allianca affair. Meade is instructed
to gather any additional information re
garding the matter. He is also directed
as to the use of vessels under his com
mand in Cuban waters. A cablegram
was received irom Meade today an
nouncing his departure from San Do
mingo for Kingston.
According to the programme arranged
for the cruise of the North Atlantic
squadron before it sailed from Hampton
roads, the vessels were to stop at Port an
Prince, alter leaving San Domingo, and
to proceed to Santiago de Cuba, on the
south coast of the island. Just why Ad
miral Meade omitted these points in his
cruise was not explained in his cable'
gram, and at the navy department the
officials say he has acted in this without
instructions. He is at full liberty, they
say, to make changes in the programme.
An explanation that finds general belief
is that Admiral Meade has beard, of the
difficulty that haB arisen between the
United States and Spain over the Alii
anca affair, and is indisposed to compli
cate the diplomatic adjustment of the
case by paying a visit to Cuban waters,
which might be construed by the

Spanish preBS into a demonstration of
force intended to coerce their govern
ment. At Kingston also that the admi
ral will be convenient to the isthmus
and the Spanish main, so' as to be in
readiness to respond to any call there
may be to strenghten the forces at Colon
and to have a ship look into Blaefields.
Assistant Secretary McAdoo, of the
navy department, is aboard the Colum
bia. He goes south for a short tour,
and may leave the vessel at Kingston,
Jamaica.
Szeta's Pronnnclamento.
San Fbancisco, March 23. General
Antonio Ezeta, ex-vice-president and
deposed dictator of San Salvador, is still I
bent on revolution, though he is some-1
what handicapped in being obliged to di
rect his lieutenants in San Salvador at
lone; range. Ezeta, safely housed in a
big hotel here, is well out of danger.
His latest card is a long proclamation
issued "To all Salvadorenos." The fugi
tive general asserts that his "heart still
beats with the ardent love of patriotism
and sacred fire of liberty." He says he
knows bis friends in San Salvador are
suffering on his account, and he assures
them that they shall soon see him again
contending with the enemy on the
battlefield in defense of their country.
The doughty general refers to his re
lease from custody by United States
authorities and pays his respects to his
brother, Curios Ezeta, the fugitive pres
ident, as follows: "I am before the
world after having been tried in tke
courts of this country. I have saved
myself from certain death by a miracle,
after the shameful retreat of the head of
our nation and his cabinet, leaving my
companions in arms, who were true lo
the last, to be the victims of our cowardly
and infamous enemies. Adversity does
not make me lose courage."
Examining Chang's Account.
New Yobk, March 24. The Herald's
correspondent at Shanghai savs : "Ex
perts are at present engaged in the task
of overhauling Li Hung Chang's accounts
at Tien-Tsin. ' They have fonnd a record
of the purchase of 7,000,000 rifles, and,
as these are supposed to be of the latett
pattern, it is hard to explain the striking
insufficiency of the modern rifles in the
Chinese army, except on the hypothesis
that the viceroy, like his son-in-law.
Chang, has been guilty of peculation."
Formosa to Be Included.
London, March 23. A Hiogo dispatch
says the peace conference at Simonosaki
will , last a , fortnight. The cession of
Formosa to Japan is inevitable. '
