A REVOLT IN NICARAGUA.
President and Minister OF Foreign At
fairs pri>OnpTs.

The State department has received advices
from Minister Baker ut Mnnagua confirming
The news that revolt has broken out again
in Nicaragua and that the President OF the
republic and his minister Of foreign affair
art. held prisoners at Leon. There was no
battle, but the minister regards the situation
~ critical.
This was disagreeable news to the Navy
department, for II will require the secretary
to send naval vessel to Nicaragua at u sea-
son when the climate is least endurable, and
fever prevails in many places. The trouble In
thi4 ease appears to be In the north
west part Of the country, In the department
Of Occidental. and Leon, where the officials,
are held captive. and il about so miles back
from the coast. The nearest port IL Corrintos
otherwise known Us RealejO which IL also the
cable connection. The only United States
war vessel available on the west coast Is the
Alliance, and she is 1900 miles distant at Cal
lao, Peru. and it will take her about week
or ten days to make the trip after she receives
her orders and takes her coal and stores
aboard.
Meanwhile this last incident will have the
effect to hasten the sailing Of the Yorktown
and the Charleston from New York for, al
though il will be- several months before they
ran reach the Pacific, the necessity for
strengthening the naval force there has been
