Jal: > MINISTER BAKER’S COMING HOME. An Impression That He Will Net Go Back to Nicaragua. Mr. Lewis Baker, United States minister to Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica, is expected home in June for his first leave of absence in two years. Inasmuch as the climate of the isthmus is detrimental to his physical well-being, it is currently re- ported that he will probably not care to return to his diplomatic post. These re- ports are strengthened by the impression that- there has been frequent cause of friction between the State Department and the minister in consequence of the latter's management of our displomatic affairs with the countries to which he is accredited. It is generally expected that existing com- plications over the Nicaraguan canal and isthmian affairs generally will be in a fair state of diplomatic settlement before the departure of Minister Baker, in June. The dispute between Great Britain and Nic- aragua over the expulsion of Pro-Consul Hatch and other British subjects from Nicaraguan territory will probably reach its climax before the close of the present month, and it will then be disclosed what steps Great Britain proposes to take to enforce compliance with her demands. At any rate, no embarrassment is likely to result from Minister Baker’s absence from his post. The United States is well repre- sented by many consular officers in the three countries and diplomatic negotiations can be readily conducted with their minis- ters at this capital. ————2+____.
