A special cable dispatch to the New York Herald from Managua, Nicaragua, says: Minister of Foreign Affairs Matus fur- nishes a copy of the dispatch received by the Nicaraguan government from Admiral Stephenson of the British fleet of warships now at Corinto. This dispatch reads: “Having received instructions from her majesty’s government to hand you the gccompanying dispatch frim Lord Kimber- ley, her majesty’s principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, I have the honor to present your excellency, Commander Stckes of H. M. S. the Royal Arthur, who is the bearer of this dispatch, together with a letter and proclamation from me. “I have the honor to inform your excel- iency that unless I receive a reply within three days from date, containing the full compliance of the Nicaraguan government with the demands contained in Lord Kim- berley’s dispatch, or, in. the event.of no answer being received within the time fixed, or if the answer is unsatisfactory, I shall at once land an armed force, taking military control of Corinto, by occupying the custom house and other government buildings, and appointing Capt. Frederick Percival French of the Royal Arthur gov- ernor of the port. “The lives, Drivate property and trade of all foreigners will be respected. In the event of any resistance or disturbences arising, I shall use the force at my disposal to maintain order. “A copy of the accompanying proclama- tion will be issued to each official in Cor- into, both Nicaraguan and foreign, on my taking possession of the plac: Admiral Stephenson’s Proclamation. The proclamation referred to says: “Whereas, the Nicaraguan government having unlawfully seized the person of her Britannic majesty’s vice consul, at Blue- fields, together with some twenty British sutjects, and confined in the town of Man- agua, or expelled them from Nicaraguan terzitory, I have, in consequence, received crders from her majesty’s government to occupy the town of Corinto and seize all vessels carrying the Nicaraguan flag, and hold the same until.such time as the Nic- araguan government has complied with yes demands of the British government. “Be It known that during the occupation of Corinto the lives, private property and trade of all foreigners will be respected, and the force now landed will occupy only gcvernment buildings. In the event of any resistance or disturbance arising, I shall be compelled to use the means at my dis- posal to maintain ord®r. I have constituted Capt. Frederick Percival French of the Royal Arthur governor of the port. “H. L. STEPHENSON, Rear Admiral.” American Vessels at Hand. The steamer Colina, which has arrived Corinto, reports that she met a fleet four American warships on the way to Corinto. This news is very gratifying to the Nicaraguan government, which, with the Nicaraguan people, hopes the presence of the United States vessels will relieve the country from the humiliation threatened by Great Britain. A Description of Corinto. in of Corinto, the center of interest in Nicar- agua at present, is the best port of the Central American states on the Pacific coast. It is most important to Nicaragua, as it is the terminus of the line of the Cen- tral railroad. It is a very old place and was formerly called Raelejo. This was one of the best Spanish-American harbors in the old days, but it is becoming filled up, and is now somewhat smaller as to anchor- age. There is no difficulty, however, in the entrance, and there is a depth of eighteen feet of water in the harbor at low tide. Between the island of Cardon and the point of Castanones there is a dangerous bar. The port of San Juan del Sur has a harbor of average size, and there is suffi- ciently good anchorage. It is filling with sand, however, and the entrance is becom- ing choked, making shipping more difficult. San Juan del Sur is in communication with Lake Nicaragua by a macadam road built by the New York and California Transit Company. The Heaviest Import Point. Corinto is the heaviest import point in Nicaragua. The imports there for 1991-92 were $6,006,805, while all imports to other points did not exceed $500,000. It is evident from this why the British chose Corinto for their stroke. Almost one-half of the imports at Corinto are from Great Britain, so that the British seizure of the custom houses will result in their receiving the customs dues from British merchant ships. The British imports for 1891-92 were $2,- 132,601; those of the United States cai second at $1,497,650; Germany, $1,042,055; France, $998,144. The rest of the import trade was with neighboring South and Cen- tral American countries. The imports of San Juan del Sur were $138,820. As the Corinto imports average about $500,000 monthly, it would not take long for Great Britain to appropriate the $75,000 indemnity demanded. The tariff rates of Nicaragua are such that the $6,006,805 of imports in 1891 yielded $1,058,913 in customs duties. Most of this was collected at Corinto. At this rate the receipts at Corinto would reach $75,000 within thirty days, unless commerce was diverted to other ports. It is a significant fact that the largest part of Nicaragua's foreign debt is repre- sented by bonds held in London, and pay- able there in 1919. This foreign debt ag- gregates $2,105,227. The London holders have thus far received their interest on the bonds very promptly. If, however, Nicar- agua is crippled by the seizure of her cus- toms receipts, it may react by a failure to meet the interest on the bonds held in London. Diplomats Exercised. The diplomatic representatives of Central and South American countries are very much exercised over the report that Great Britain will exert force, ‘f necessary, to compel Nicaragua to meet interest pay- ments on her foreign debt, represented mainly by bonds held in Englani. They fear, it is said, that such a course would presage an endless amount of trouble fcr them in the future. Their idea Is that once Great Britain has been permitted ‘without interference to collect the special Hatch indemnity she will avail herself of the excuse offered by the failure of Nica- Tagua to meet her interest payments cn foreign debt to assume the task of col- lecting this forcibly in the same manner, notwithstanding the fact that the failure may be brougit about by her own seizure of the customs receipts, which were to be applied to the payment of this interest. Of course this would necessitate the cccu- pation of Corinto after the original in- demuity shall have been collected, which would only add to the financial distress of Nicaragua, and should she be then unable, as seems likely, to meet this last demand the occupation may be prolonged so indefi- nitely as to amount to a permanent occu- pation of the territory. This is the reason- ing of the South Americans, and they find individual cause for apprehension in the fact that almost all of these little republics owe sums of money to Europ2an bondhold- ers on account of interest or principal of national debts, and they fear that for the first time the principle ray be laid down end enforced that a European government may assume the collection of debts owing to its citizens as individaals and not to the European nation, a docirine which, they assert, would be particularly obnoxious if applied to some of the states of the Ameri- can Union which have aefaulted in thelr debts to foreign bor ‘The outcome of-thi: aspen incident is also felt by the same Gtplomatists to be full of significance tq. lezucla, and it is fear- ed by them that iB once driven in the wedge Great Bi im, can scarcely be ex- pected to refrain ;fnom pressing forward with very vigorows: measures in the matter of the Venezuelaq-befndary dispute and at once establishin: herself as-the mistress of the Orinoco. Snxiety off Th) is Goverument. It is felt here that ithe preseat situation is one justifying apprefension and anxiety on the part of oun own sovernment. While it is not expected “hat the Nicaraguan government willzoffer any armed resist- ence to the landingyof -he British forces, still it is feared that during the time the town of Corinto {8 oecupted by the foreign- ers the natives May pve restrained with difficulty, and the close contact into which the two discordant elemeats will ceriairly be brought might at any moment lead to an outbreak, winding up in a general war. The tenure of the present Nicaraguan government is none too secure, and it fs felt that It would be expecting almost too much from it to hope that it could resist successfully an impulse of the people to- ward war, even shouid the cause be without probable success for their side iu the end. It ts evident that our State Department has not lost sight of this possibiljty, for Sec- Tetary Gresham has be2n in consultation with the President and the Nicaraguan minister on the subject, and it is believed that he has been Using his best efforts to prevent a resort to extremes by intimating that the indemnity had better be paid. —_—_—___ o+__ LATE SPORTING NEWS LOCALS HAD THE LUCK. Arthur Irwin’s Men Defeated in Their First Game Here. ‘he manager. of the Washington base ball club had no oécasion, after the conclu- sion of yesterday's game with the Phila- delphia nine, for complaining that - luck Was against the local aggregation, for if ever a game was won by sheer good luck it was that of yesterday. Not only did the Philadelphia men outbat the locals almost 2 to 1, but they earned every run, and played with but a single error, and that misplay did not affect the result. Willie McGill, the south paw artist of the visitors, officiated, and to him, more than to any- thing else, is attributable the defeat of his club, seven locals reaching first because of his inability to locate the home plate. Nevertheless, the home team deserved its victory, and when the heart-breaking con- test was over the cheers of exultation were no more numerous than those of genuine relief. Stocksdale pitched for the home club unti! the eighth inning, when, having perceptibly weakened, Manager Schmelz wisely relieved him, directing Malarkey, the Virginia League man, to take his place. The score then stood 5 to 4 in favor of the Washington men. Hallman, the first visitor up in the eighth, took first on balls, and then Sullivan bunted safely. Buckley endeavored to follow suit, but forced Hallman at third. McGill was thrown out at first, and a mighty cheer of relief went_up when the Virginia recruit struck out Hamilton. The locals could not score in the ninth, and Boyle, first up for the Phillies, fanned. Cress hit“ to center, but died a moment later when he endeavored to purloin sec- ord. Delehanty was beseeched by his fel- lows to do or die, ‘and he found the latter the easier, being! thrown out at first by Crooks. The ‘Washingtdp Warriors scored in the first, Nicholson gojig to first on balls, sec- ond on Joyce's fiy to Delehanty, and home on Abbey’s doubl# down the left foul line. In the fourth uch died at the plate while endeavoring t0, stretch a triple into a homer, when Joyee; should have kept him at third, Hassamad took first on balls, as did McGuire, andvén Cartwright’s hit to center the lanky Wiliam scored, McGuire taking secord. ks was the third: man to reach first omshells. Stocksdale hit to right, scoring Mcuire and Cartwright, and Nicholson sacrifieed to Hamilton, bringing in Crooks. Joyce’ then struek out. The Phillies mage their first run in the fifth, Buckley forefng Sullivan, and scoring cn Hamilton’s donble to left, which Joyce fcund too swift to hold. In the seventh Stecksdale weakéned, and the visitors scored three times; Hallman hit over Abbey for a triple, and scoring a moment later, when Sullivan died at first, McGuire refusing to go up behind the plate. Buck- ley went out at first, and then’ McGill hit to center, reaching second when the ball slirped past Abbey. Hamilton hit to cen- ter, McGill scoring, and Hamilton stole secend. Boyle’s hit to center brought him in, and Cross hit to center, Boyle going to third. Stocksdale wisely gave Delehanty first, and then big Thompson ended the agony by flying to Selbach.

Morris’ bay filly Owlet, by Rossington out of Mary Owsley, beating Tinge by a neck. The seven furlongs were run in 1:23.

The Arsenals play the P. O. D. team Friday. Manager Sink Exonerated. The investigation by the executive com- mittee of the new Memphis Jockey Club into charges made by Blacksmith Murphy against W. R.

Daily Examples of Jackson City’s Want of Character. ‘When Inspector Hollinberger cf this city and Lieut. James Smith of Alexandria led a@-party of officers to Jackson City nearly three weeks ago, and succeeded in captur- ing one of the alleged safe-blowers, it was thought that the gamblers and crooks at that lawless settlement would become less bold for a while at least, but they seem to have made a fresh start, and not cnly rob persons who visit the dives cf their own accord, but are sending out steerers to bring them in. The cxperience of Mr. Tul- loch of New York, as published in yester- day’s Star, is only one of many similar cases that have happened across the river, where such people have full sway. ‘These. steerers wait about the railroad track and catch persons who wait there to return on trains. Such was the case with Mr. Tulloch. He was waiting fcr a train when a stranger invited him in a saloon to take a drink. The train was not due for some time, and the New Yorker was finally induced to go with the stranger and drink a glass of beer. Then came the old, old story. There was a confederate in the saloon, and it required the throwing of dice to determine which of the Jackson City men should settle for the drinks. Fol- lowing this came the game of “over and under,” and in this the New Yorker lost his $100. The game, he declares, sas by no means a square one, and he managed to get back half his money. This was all done in the daytime, and had it been after dark Mr. Tulloch may have fared much worse. The effect of the outlaw races and Jack- son City gambling dens is ‘elt in this city in more ways than one. It is .zell known that many thieves have made Jackson City their headquarters, and have orerated here to the regret of many citizens who have |.beer. robbed in various ways. On Pennsyl- vania avenue, in front of hotels and salcons, the race track touts and followers, ireluding some who are undoubtedly of doubtful reputation, loiter and indulge in language calculated to insult or shock any respectable person. At intervals the police declare war on these people, and make them scarce for a few days, but none of them have been arrested for some time, and they are thicker now than they have been for weeks.
