Washington, May 8.The Nlcaraguan incident, growing out of tlte British occupation of Corinto, was practically and happily settled yesterday, seemingly through the good offices of the Salvadorean minister to Great Britain and France, whoarrivid iu London from Paris yesterday mornlug nnd had an interview with Lord Kiinberly.the British foreign secretary. It Is understood that Ambassador Bayard was present at the meeting, although the statement of Sir Edward (hay in the house of commons yesterday that the United States had not suggested terms for an amicable settlement, would indicate that Mr. Bayard was only present as amicus curias. The conference between Lord Kimberly and Minister Medina, the minister from Salvador, resulted In a lefinite arrangement of terms for the settlement of the trouble at Corinto, the substance of which was immediately cabled to Secretary Gresham by Mr. Bayard. In the dispatch Mr. Bayard said that Great Britain had accepted the guarantee made by Salvador of the payment of the indemnity of S77.50O demanded by Great Britain, the payment to be made by Nicaragua in Lon don within a fortnight, and the Brit ish government agreeing that as soon as Nicaragua confirmed this promise to pay and informed the British admiral iu charge of the naval force at Corinto of that fact, the admiral would be instructed to withdraw not only the force of marines, which, under command of Capt- French, now hold possession of the customhouse and other government buildings at Coriuto, but also to remove his war ships from the harbor. The dispatch from Mr. Bayard was receiveil at the state department yesterday afternoon by Assistant Secretary Uhl, the acting secretary of state, in the absence, through sickness, of Secretary Greshnm, whom it may bo recalled was also in charge of affairs when the Allianca incident occurreJ. The president, in his country home at Woodley, was promptly telephoned of the receipt of the intelligence that a settlement of the Nicaragua ditticulty was in prospect, and immediately drove to the White House, where Mr. Uhl joined him with a copy of the dispatch. Secretary Uhl declined last evening to discuss the settlement. He would not say whether or not the result had been reached through the good olllces of the United States, nor would he give any information about the matter. That the government of Salvador had decided to tender its good olllces in the controversy through Mr. Medina, its minister to Great Rritain and France, had been previously exclusively stated in the United Press dispatches. Instructions to this eiYect were sent Mr. Medina Wednesday, and he must have hurried at once from Park to London, as he arrived at the English capital yesterday morning1. That Salvador hus guaranteed the paj'ment of the "smart money" demandetl by Great Britain, as seems to be indicated by Mr. Bayard's dispatch, is a new aud interesting phase of the situation. Statements that the payment was to be made through tho Bank of Nicaragua and that an agreement had been reached on Tuesday last are shown to have been entirely baseless, while the United Press dispatches as to the propositions made through .Minister Medina have been confirmed in all essential particulars. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Annual 3'cetlii; und Election of Director! Si i rctHry Atklna IntervlrtTnt. New York, May H. The shareholders of the maritime canal of Nicaragua held t heir annual meeting and election of ürctors at 5 Broad .street yesterday.

This was at the request of the commission. The party will leave Mobile on May 7. Mr. Atkins was asked if the stock' holders at their meeting had discussed the subject of the S7.".,00O indemnity demanded from the Nicaraguau government by England. He said the subject was not mentioned. He said: "We never cross u bridge until we come to it" He also said that the report that the maritime canal company was to advance the money to the Nicaraguan government was not true.

Mi:ii'.mih, Tenn., May X The Central Bimetallic league of Tennessee was perfected yesterday afternoon and a movement on foot to call a great silver convention to meet in Memphis on June 11 and 1'.'. An address lias been prepared that will he circulated throughout the southern, western and Pacific coast states, from which it is desired that delegates shall come. In the preamble to the resolution fixing the date aud call for tho conference the himetallists say: 'The enemies of silver have made extensive arrangements for u convention to assemble in thin city on the "3d inst., under the delusive anil misleading pretense to protect and uphold what they are pleased to determine sound money. To meet and counteract, as far as possible, the effect of this movement, it has lu-en determined, in a public meeting of the advocates of silver at Memphis, to call a convention of representatives from all the states of the MiKs.is.slpr! valley, the west and the I'ae'ttic eoat. tostimulate and give direction to the overwhelming sentiment which is now leelaring for free silver at a ratio of 10 to 1." All senators nnd eonirroRinen from these states will he invited, and it is proposed to make the conference the most stupendous meeting in the interest of free coinage ever held in America. In addition to the calling of this convention, the himetallists yesterday lecided to have ex-Cotigressma,n Hryan, of Nebraska, spoa'.t in Memphis on the evening of May 21, the day following the sound money convention. The advocate of free eoiuage will speak at Jackson on the preceding- evening, and lias consented to address the Memphis people on the '.'Ith. The silver advocates hope that his speech here will have the effect of counteracting the influence of the sound-money convention locally. The currency fight is on in earnest in this state, and indications point already to the rupture of party ties with some of the advocates of the different views.

THE TRIUMPH OF RIGHT Would be CratiryliiK to thli Uorertimrot liut Nothing Will lie !onc tu Secure It. Washington-. May 3. Much gratification is expressed at thestate department over the reported acquiescence by China in the treaty of peace with Japan. As the ratification of the treaty have to be exchangeit at ChePoo beff.re May S, aud as tliat point is at least four days' Journey from Pekin, it is regarded as strongly probable that tho treaty, duly signed by the Chinese emperor, is already on its way to the appointed place of rfttitieation. The Japanese emperor rati lied the instrument more than a week ugo. Little importance is attached at the department to the newspaper re prosentations of llussia's possible interlVrence. It is predicted that Russia will not be heard from ag-ain In connection with Japan's attitude. co f'r as the United St.it. is concerned, the statement is reiteratod wi'.hout reserve that no European alliance against Japan will cause this government to enter Into an agreement with Kugland or any other power to olfset it.
