ALL CENTRAL AMERICA WILL HELP
Great Britain Must Not Press Nicaragua Too Far.
Washington, April 5.-Reports that the British warship Royal Arthur has touched at Panama on her way to Nicaragua to enforce British demands causes some apprehension among the officials and diplomats here. The Royal Arthur is the flagship of the Pacific squadron, and carries Rear Admiral Stephenson, K. C. B., commander of the fleet, although Captain Frederick French is in immediate command. She is one of the new monsters of the British navy, having a tonnage of 12,000. There is no official confirmation here of the Royal Arthur's movements, as the reports of naval changes do not come here. The opinion is expressed by those familiar with the situation that if Great Britain resorts to force at all, the Central American republics will tender their services to Nicaragua.
