WARNING TO ROSEBERY.
Bresham Telia Him Great Britain Mus t Cautiously with Nicaragua. New York, April 16. —A special from Washington says: “Minister Guzman was closeted with Secretary Gresham for some time last evening, discussing the Nicaragua situation. If England looks with favor upon Nicaragua’s answer to her ultimatum there will be no special anxiety, but if Lord Rosebery regards the reply as unsatisfactory a different and serious phase of the situation may and doubtless ■will arise. “From what can be learned from. trustworthy sources. Secretary Gresham, through Ambassador Bayard, has informed Great Britain that this country will not permit, without an earnest protest, the bombardment of Greytown and that the landing of British troops on Nicaraguan soil will be viewed as an act. inimical to American interests. It is said that Secretary Gresham conveyed the attitude of the administration on these points in earnest term?: One story heard at the state department was to the effect that Mr. Bayard was directed to inform Lord Rosebery that firing upon Greytown or placing an armed force on shore at that place or at Corinto would be an infraction of the Monroe doctrine. “It is pointed out that Admiral Meade's fleet has arived at Colon and is near Greytown, and that the Monterey will reach Corinto about the time the Royal Arthur anchors off the west end of the proposed interoqeanic canal. Something may be heard from London today which will clear up some of the existing doubt and apprehension and outline England’s intentions.”
