It also can be slated, not on Mr. Co tea * authority, but as a fact, that the, Nicaraguan government has not up to thla time defined Hs attitude on the amended document. Mr. Corea forwrarded It with full advices, but as the Honate acted only a few days ago there has not yet been time for the pipers to go before Presi ded! y.elaya'a cabinet. And eien then, ae Mr. Corea has pointed out. It Is doubt (il whether Nicaragua will assert her IsJsltioti In advance of receiving overtures as to the canal.
