Nicaragua , Feb 2(1 ( ( New York World Cablegiam Special Telegram. ) There arc signs that the revolution In north ern Nicaragua may spread all ov er Cen tral America. It has a distinctly religious cast and the Leonltes can count on the aid < lf the clergy , not only , in the lepublic , but In the four other republics as well. The clericals fedY the growing popularity of the United States In Latin America and n.lso fear American control of the canal The growth of American ideas here Is re garded as tending to extend ( liberalism. which the cleigy dcslro to stamp out. New Yolk pi tests whom Helaya banished are said to be fanning the flames of the revolution. The liberals have no confidence In the os tentatious display of tjinpathy for Zolaya by leading conservatives In this city. It Is believed that It IB only a deviceto lull apprehensions and give the revolution time to ft aw. 1'rosldent Belaya cannot hope for aid from the conservatives the richest , most Influen tial people In the country. It Is now known that some of the leading military officers ad here to that party. Conservativeleaderi have been growing suspicious of Xcln > a , whose desire to as sume a dictate i ship lias boon apparent , al though denied by Ma frlsnds. All the Influ ence of the highest social classes la thrown against Zelaya , whoso atllttido against the clergy has Incensed tlm. It Is openly terted that the clerical parly tlnoiighout Central America expects to giln control of all the government ! ' and to restore the ancient privileges of the church. Guatemala Is ilpo for i evolution cm Ing to the deep-seated dissatisfaction of the Intel ligent portion of the people with the mili tary rule of Barrios , whoso humble ex traction and record for cruelty have turned the upper class against him. President Do- nllla , In Hunduias , Is showing liberal ten dencies. Ho would bs likely to give mete power to congress and become merely the cxrcutlvo. but his party ( clerical ) Insists on Ills retaining supreme dictatorial powers. Helaya Is exceedingly oppiolienslvo , as the revolution In Nicaiagua shows every tlgn of Inci easing Etiength. President Gulteircz , In Salvador , 1ms Just reorganized the military departments on the Ci'atrmala frontier , and la prepared for anv troublo. KelentlNt Impi-iM I-N on ll CITY OF MEXICO , Feb. 20.

NO RELIEF FOR THE TENANTS Commons Rejects the Second Heading of the Evicted Tenants Bill , LIBERALS SUPPORT THE MEASURE Coimcrxntli ci1 fiiliitnln TlicnArc Only n IViv IVrNOiiVlio AVimlil lie llciiullU-a lij It. LONDON , Feb. 26. Mr. J. J. Clanccy , Parnclllto member for the north division of Dublin county , moved the second reading of the evicted tenants' bills In the House of Commons t'day. This measure Is of a voluntary nature , not compulsory , and pro vides that a board of conciliation , consisting of three members , to bo appointed by Parlia ment , and empowered to confirm existing agreements , or to reinstate tenants by pur chase , or as tenants under Judicial rent. The number of evicted persons Is few , and Iho matter , It Is claimed , could soon be set tled. tled.Mr. Mr. John B. Hedmond , Parnelllte mem ber for Woterford , and Mr. John Dillon , ami- Parnelllto member for East Mayo , supported Mr. Clancey's motion. Mr. J. A. Kentoul , Q. C. , conservative mem ber fcr East Down , moved the rejection of the motion on the ground that the measure under discussion Involved the principle that tenants evicted for nonpayment of rent would receive large grants of money and re instatement. Mr. John Morlcy , liberal , said ho could not undeistand how the bill could be resisted , and suggested that the Irish church surplus fund be devoted to It. C ntlnulng , Mr. Morley said that the duke ol Devonshire and other unionists , opposed his bills because It was compulsory , but decHred that they would support a voluntary bill. Therefore they had changed Its provisions , and now he would bo disappointed If the c nservatlvo leader , Mr. A. J. Balfour , first lord of the tieasury , did not assent to Its second read- Ing.Mr. Mr. Gerald Balfour , chief secretary for Ireland , said that a policy of conciliation did not mean granting everj thing demanded by the Irish membera The bill In qucttlon could not bo Justified unless a public evil of grave magnitude existed and which re quired an exceptional remedy. He did not think they were justified In expending 80- 000 of public money upon CSC evicted tenants of 1S03 , at the present time , ebpeclally as 37C of this number , of whom 100 belonged to thePonsonbury estate , were coming to amicable settlements of the differences be tween themselves and the landlords. Con tinuing , Mr. Balfour said that the adoption of a bill providing for the pajment of money to thooa who refused to pay their obliga tions , was another step downward in the demoralisation of Ireland. The go\eminent Hnd bill , be asserted , would deal with the matter In an adequate manner. Mr. Bilfoilr said that ho would strengthen the hands of members In asseitlng that under the same circumstances the tenants could resort to the same plan of campaign. Mr. Clancej's motion that the- evicted ten ants' bill be read for the second time , was then put to a vote and rejected b ) 271 to 174. CO\CIMATIO\ A COOI1 T1IIVC. Hon. n. .1.

Goschen , first lord of the admiralty , speaking at LewIston - Iston , said that conciliation , negot atlon and arbitration might be valuable , but wOe to the nations lacking the courage to back their opinion by their own resources. Tha new system cf logrolling and bartering fcr alliances , he said , had displaced the old sys tem of a balance of power between European nat'ons. England was not clever at this pame , he added , and had held aloof , although her alliance was courted by several groups f | powers. "Our Isolation , therefore , " Mr. Gos > chen continued , "Is not one of weakness , but of freedom to act Independently. This has caused misunderstandings , but It Is loped that recent complications have shown our neighbors that the national spirit Is not dead , and that on certa n occasions , we might ba combustible. Without betraying secrets , I might say that a very distin guished German statesman , not Prince Bis marck , has been convinced for jears that England could not be moved to war by any thing whorl of an attack on her central In terests In this country. That was a danger ous fallacy , which has now probably been dlsl'deed. " He was able to say , Mr. Goschen added , that our relations with the German emperor were now as cordial as they could possibly be. Ho concluded with a reference to tne necessity for a powerful fleet. DUM.YI.S AT TUB FOllKIOV OFKICIJ. HUH \ \t-lllii-i- ) < -i- llci-ii Iit ltcil to tioii-rn LONDON , Feb. 26.

Politics nro wanning up to some extent In this state- and oven the prominent party leaders nro beginning to express their prefer ences concerning the men who are In the fleUl for presidential honors nt the nominating conventions , Ex-Oovernor Crounso came down from Cal- honn yesterday and In discussing the pos sibilities of some of"tho republicans who are In line for the nomination , ho said : "I have no objection to expressing by preference nmong the candidates for the re publican nomination far president. I am for General Mandoron. 1 nm for him be cause I nm for anthing which tends to ad vance Nebraska , and I nm sure his candi dacy , possible nomination and certain elec tion If nominated would be highly credit able to the state.

I do not believe the genernt competent to hc- como a party lo the ichemc nnd as to the- lateness of his candidacy , I know of no- statute of limitations which bars anyone- from doing a handsome or proper thing. It strikes me that some of these objectors nro wanting In good faith themselves and find It convenient to urge such plea * or excuses for opposing him and would have found others. If he had como out earlier. " Ex-Governor Snunders does not cnro to- express himself as favoring Mnndcrson until ho olllclally learns that he Intend ! ) to niako- a run for the nom'nitlon. General Mander- son bzlng out of the Held he Is In favor ot Senator Allison. Ills remarks upon the 'ab ject were as follows : "Before Mandetbon was In the field I hail expressed niself as being In favor of Alli son. Hunlson was my first choice , because- I and the people of the country know from his administration that ho Is a safe man. But when ho withdrew I had no hesitation In at once taking n stand for Allison. "I am In support of Allison because I be lieve that ho Is the rafest ot the avowed candidates. I know this from pcrspnal contact - - tact with him In congress. Ho Is a con- uervntlvo man , but ho upholds all the prln- 'clples of the republican" party. He la a , sound money man and he Is planted on the doctrine of protection. Ho has had long ex perience In congress and has always showft liInn-elf n safe man. "I favor Allison's candidacy from the fact that he has always taken a decided stand on every question that ha ? come up In con gress With the presidential bee In hI- bonnet he might have dickered with the opposition , etpeclally with the silver men , but ho has never done so. Ho has always icgistered his vote on a question and stood by It. "But while I avowed niy&elf as supporting Allison , I did so baforo I knew that Man- derson was' In the race. I don't know posi tively that ho Is now , and therefore I do not feel like withdrawing my support from Allison. If Mandoison will run , It Is cer tainly proper that the debgatlon should be Instructed for him Inannuch asho Is a homo man. From my knowledge of his ca- iccr he Is fitted for the ofllcc. " "Do you think that If Mandorson Is a , candidate and the delegates are Instructed for him they will bo switched to some other candidate when the convention Is leached ? " was asked , " 1 know nothing about that , " answered the governor. "Manderson'o candidacy waa brought out without any knowledge on my part and therefore I could npt say.
