OFFICIAL INFORMATION.

Outlines of England's Program In Nicaragua. A Washington special, April 24, Exact official information has been received as to Great Britain’s belligerent steps in Nicaragua. British troops are to bedanded at Corinto. The custom houses are to be occupied by the British forces, and British officers are to exercise the functions of collectors of customs. At the same time Nicaragua local commerce is to be crippled by a blockade. The limit o f time allowed Nicaragua to yield expires tomorrow (Thursday), and the blockade, landing of troops and seizure of custom houses is to begin immediately thereafter. There is good reason to believe that Nicaragua is not Ijkely to yield, but will allow British troops to occupy Corinto, in order that conspicuous attention may be drawn to what is regarded by Nicaragua as an invasion of the Monroe doctrine.
