Press Association.—Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.
London, April 29. Corinto was occupied at night under a blaze of searchlights from the warships, the crews of which manned the guns ready to open fire on the first signs of opposition to the force sent ashore.
The Nicaragua Government has declared the port closed, and will confiscate goods taken inland from there.
Guatemala, San Salvador, and Costa Rica have urged Nicaragua to pay the indemnity. Costa Rica offered to find a fifth of the money.
The Government, however, is in fear of the mob, and on this account they also decline the offer of American mediation. New York, April 29. The European Consuls in Nicaragua are urging the Government to pay the indemnity to Great Britain, as it is useless to resist her demands.
