AMERICAN TANGLE.
WAR DANGER.
London, Dec. 29. The Daily News, commenting on the United States actionin. Nicaragua, declares the pro- esedings are generally accepted throughout the United States and Latin America ag an attempt to hit the Mexican Government by destroying Mexican Influence In the Caribbean.......
The paper does not believe that American statosmanship has either the desire or intention to make war on Mexico, but la of: opinion that there is confusion and a certain lack of candour about the American polley towards Mexico which might easily drift" Into war polley-Reuter.
A Protest.
Washington, Doc. 29. The envoy of Sr. Sacaans' liberal" government has sent to the United States State Department a formal protest against the operations of American forces on Nicaraguan soil, accusing Admiral Latimor” of establishing a censorship in violation of international lawak.
Both the State and, the Navy, Departments 'deny knowledge of the consorship. It is thought un likely that the protest will be answered as the United States. does not recognise Sr. Sacasas.
It is declared at the White House that the United States' only object is the protection of American life and property. Reuter's American Service.
Conflicting Viewpoints.
Managua, Dec, 29. The Liberal forces have follow ed up their success in the recent battle by annihilating the Govern- ment rear guard. It is stated the Liberals outnumbered the Conser vatives, who totalled 1,500. More- over, the latter ran short of am- munition, and their machine-guns were no match for their opponents light artillery,
Six hundred Conservatives who' retreated to El Bluff were disarm- ed by United States naval men, as Admiral Latimer declared that it was a neutral zone.
At Washington the situation in Nicarague is having the earnest attention of all parties, and is arousing very warin controversies.
The view expressed in radical. quarters suggests that it is a strug- gle by illiterate Indians, and Ne groes, who, illed with hopes by the Calles regime of Mexico, are en deavouring to overthrow the aristo- cracy, largely of Spanish descent, In the west coast towns. On the contrary, Senator Boralı's opinion Is that a large part of the revolu tion has been instigated und directed by Washington business interests, hence there is trouble brewing in the Senate,
Meantime the State Department His determined to hold Sacasas In
check.
The spokesraan of the White House asserts that whenever con- ditions like those in Nicaragua are going on, it means trouble for United States citizens and pro perly, with the result that the United States generally find t necessary to take action, but "the United States never takes sides."

CRITICISED.
STRONG COMMENT, BY LAW LORDS:
With what Lord Dunedin des- cribed as "unfeigned regret the House of Lords yesterday" dia. missed the appeal of Sapsy Click-` man, a ladies' tailor, of Gommer- elul-road, London. He appealed against a decision that he had. failed in a claim against the Lan- cashire and General Assurance Company, Ltd., because there was evidence of concealment of a material fact in answer to a ques- tion in a proposal form for burg- fary insurance..
After observing that this "wret- ched little tailor" could neither read nor write, Lord Dunedin added that he was left with the impression that qualities which they were prone to ascribe to the Hebrews, among whom Shylock had always been the prototype, had been quito. as satisfactorily developed on the part of this in- surance company.
Lord Wrenbury said it was with: the greatest reluctance that he concurred. He thought it was a mean and contemptible policy on the part of the assurance company that they should take premiums and then refuse to pay on a pure- by technical ground.
