NICARAGUA.

BRITAIN’S INTERVENTION WASHINGTON, February 24. Britain has assured the United States that the warship Colombo will not land forces in Nicaragua. This is interpreted as removing the possibility of British intervention. The British note followed an American note to London, repeating assurances that American troops in Nicaragua were protecting British interests. The British note expressed hope that the Colombo arriving at Corinto on February 2G would have a moral effect, and be a haven of refuge for British citizens

Acting Secretary of State Grew, In the absence of Mr. Kellogg, declined to discuss the bearing of the British action on the Monroe doctrine.
