There Is good reason to (believe Nicaragua will mot ylald, Oault allow Brit)ls(h itroops to occupy Corlnito In order that con spicuous cuUenit'l'on may be drawn to what is regarded by Nldaragna as an InvasSon of the Mbnroe doctrine. Corlnito to the heaviest Import point In Nicaragua. . The imports there for 1S31-92 wore $0,000,805, wihllo all the im ports at other points dl!d not exceed J300,000. It fa evident from this why the Britten choae Corilnlto for their strike. Almost one-half tho lnponts at Coi'lnio are from Greoit Bi-ttaln, so that the British seizure of the ouatom house will result In irheilr receiving the customs due from 'the Brl'ttsfli mer- chunlt ihlips.

It Is a slgiulflcant fact that the large.-t part of Nicaragua's foreign debt, is represented by bonds held In London and payable there In 1S99. This foreign debt affregUttes $2,105,223. The London (holders have tthua far' received Interest oil the 'bonds very promptly; It, however, Nicaragua Is crippled by the seizure of (her customs receipts It may react by failure to meet the In terest on the boriJs hefld In London.
