Great Britain and Nicaragua.
The European Consuls in Nicftra* qua are urging the Goverm«nt to pay the indemnity (£15,000) to Great Britain, as it is useless to resist her demands.
It is delieved the indemnity will be speedily paid. The United States is mediating in the dispute between Great Britain and Nicaragua.
Reports from Washington state that a settlement; of the trouble is likely to take place within two days. Immediately on payment of the indemnity, the British troops will evacuate the country, and the whole matter will then be referred to arbitration.
The United States and other Powers advise Britain to withdraw the blockade of Corinto on Nicaragua offering to pay the £15,000 demanded in a fortnight.
It is believed the British Government will accept the proposal. A company of British engineers has been landed at San Juan.
No opposition was offered by the Nicaraguan authorities. The British have arrested a Nica<* taguan .official for attempting torttA* vent supplies being sent to the fleet.
The marines have destroyed the railway line, thus isolating Coriiiio and hampering the advance of the local troops, which is a possible con* tingency.
